Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Irons Bottom
Internal floor joints take trolleys, pallet trucks and forklifts. Unsupported edges break up under wheels so the product has to suit both the traffic and the movement. We’ll tell you if the edges need repairing before sealing. Most enquiries involve brittle, chalky sealant on external joints and new sealant over old, now failing, across car park decks and ramps, precast concrete panel joints and brickwork movement joints. Searching for sealant specialists in Irons Bottom? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Around smaller places such as Irons Bottom, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

When to call us in Irons Bottom
On trafficked joints, wheels and salts do the damage. Wheel loads stress the sealant and the arrises. The product has to be suited to the traffic.
Look out for the following:
- Debris jammed in movement joints
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
In a school such as Burys Court School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?

When to bring in a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.

Why deal with it now?
Some quotes just add sealant over the old bead. A bead laid on top of the failed one neither grips nor flexes properly and soon lets go. Full removal and preparation is in every quote. For buildings around smaller places like Irons Bottom, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.

Common questions from Irons Bottom clients
Is hospital work, at somewhere like East Surrey Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is Irons Bottom too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you work on car park ramps and decks?
Yes. We use a sealant designed for wheel loads and the expected movement.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
How long does movement joint sealing take?
It normally takes anything from part of a day to a couple of weeks, depending on joint lengths, widths and access. Timings are set out in the quote, including any phasing.
Does the weather affect joint sealing?
Weather matters for any external joint. Indoor joints can typically carry on regardless.
What affects the price in Irons Bottom
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Access and working height
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:

- The postcode of the building
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
