Doing it in-house
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Hillstreet
Our movement joint work takes in walls, panels, decks and floors: brickwork and blockwork joints, precast and cladding panel joints, concrete joints, car park decks and ramps, podiums and floor movement joints. Every one calls for a sealant picked for its movement, exposure and traffic, and we will confirm the choice in the quote. If you’re dealing with brittle, chalky sealant on external joints and debris jammed in movement joints, we can put it right, whatever the surface. For commercial sealant work in Hillstreet, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Hillstreet have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

What sealant work can’t fix
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Car park decks and ramps
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Blockwork control joints
Maintenance after handover
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Check joints after long freezing spells
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
Snow ploughs and scrapers catch on joint lines. Lifting the blade at each joint avoids tearing the bead, and it’s worth checking joints once the cold weather has passed.
Floor joints with failed fillers break up quickly under wheels. Broken arrises jolt trucks, loads and drivers and the broken length grows with every pass. Sealing early protects the edges.
Questions about Hillstreet
Is Hillstreet off your patch?
No. Places such as Hillstreet are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can being near the sea in Hillstreet affect the sealant we need?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Can you seal joints in cold or wet weather?
A wet joint can’t be sealed properly, so external work waits for suitable conditions. We agree a revised date with you.
Which product is best for expansion joints?
The specification comes first, then the joint’s movement and exposure. We name the proposed product in the quote, so you know what’s going in.
Can a joint be sealed if the edges are broken?
Sound edges are essential. If they’re damaged, we’ll say so before any sealing, so the new seal has something to grip.
How much does the work cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with a description of the work.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For a building around Hillstreet, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- 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 and tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Agree which areas must stay open

Advice
Common problems we fix in Hillstreet
Some joints were never sealed with the right product. A stiff or general-purpose sealant across a joint with large movement won’t cope. BS EN ISO 11600 classifies building sealants by movement capability.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
Schools like Calmore Junior School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.
What your quote should include
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Who will actually carry out the work
Owners, agents and contractors
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.

What else we do in Hillstreet
Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Hillstreet
Hillstreet is within about 3 miles of the coast. Near the sea, external slabs, ramps and decks see salt air and driven rain as well as their usual loads, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. Hillstreet has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest.
Large sites such as Tatchbury Mount Hospital (1.1 miles south-west of Hillstreet) have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels. Across sites such as Calmore Industrial Estate, which lies south-east of Hillstreet, floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working.
