Diagnose, treat, sign off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For work around High Cross, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.

FAQs: High Cross
Does a site in High Cross have to shut while its joints are sealed?
In the majority of cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we will plan from there.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Petersfield Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Do you use silicone or polyurethane in movement joints?
Whatever suits the joint and the specification. The quote states the sealant and its movement class, so you know what’s going in.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Can you quote from photographs?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.
What do you charge?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with a description of the work.

Signs you need expansion joint sealing in High Cross
When a bead pulls away from one face, it has lost adhesion. Dusty, damp or contaminated faces, a missing primer and three-sided adhesion are the usual causes, and it’s common on joints sealed in a hurry.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Debris jammed in movement joints
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
Schools like Froxfield Church of England Primary School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- How joint depth will be controlled
When to bring in a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Cost factors for movement joints
What shapes the price:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Access and working height
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
What we need to price the job
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Any specification or named product
- Your programme or deadline

Sites like Petersfield Hospital, 2.8 miles south-east of High Cross, carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints.

When something else is needed
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think before you book.
