From enquiry to sign-off
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself normally taking a few hours to several weeks, depending on how many metres of joint there are and how much old sealant or filler needs removing. If others near Hay Street need work, visits can be combined. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Do you need expansion joint sealing in Hay Street?
The edges of the material can fail rather than the sealant. If the edge of the joint is friable, the bond fails with it.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
- Joints packed with grit and debris
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
Schools like Jenyns First School and Nursery often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.
Before you book anyone
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
Your questions answered
Is Hay Street too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Will our site in Hay Street have to close for joint sealing?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we will plan from there.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Can you quote from photographs?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
What do you charge?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with a description of the work.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Cost factors for movement joints
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How accessible the joints are
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
What to include in your enquiry
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- When you need the work done
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with what you know.
Why deal with it now?
A like-for-like reseal of a joint that keeps splitting rarely lasts. A higher movement class, or a design change by the engineer, may be needed, and we will say so before quoting. Halls, stores and units around places like Hay Street may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Check joints after long freezing spells
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
On car parks, winter clearance can damage deck joint sealant. Lifting the blade at each joint avoids tearing the bead.
Floor joints with failed fillers break up quickly under wheels. Damaged edges make the floor rough and wear wheels faster. Keeping the filler or sealant sound protects the floor.
