When to call us in Lacey Green
Most movement joint failures come down to the joint stretching further than the sealant can take. Cohesive failure, a split through the centre, usually means the joint or product wasn’t right for the movement. The same product in the same joint tends to fail again, so we check width and movement before quoting.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Debris jammed in movement joints
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
If you manage units on an estate such as Crownfield Industrial Estate (0.9 miles south-west of Lacey Green), the floor joints under forklifts and pallet trucks and the slab joints in the yard are the ones to watch.

Expansion joint sealing in Lacey Green, done properly
Brickwork and blockwork walls have vertical movement joints at intervals, and they’re easy to miss until the sealant fails. Once the seal fails, rain reaches the cavity and the joint can no longer close. The old seal comes out, backing goes in and a sealant with the right movement class is applied. Most enquiries involve arrises breaking up along floor joints and previous reseals laid over old sealant, across car park decks and ramps, cladding panel joints and precast concrete panel joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Lacey Green is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Jobs around smaller places like Lacey Green are planned so the whole job is done in one visit. Tell us the joint widths if you can, and what drives or walks over them.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application.

Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Are expansion joints and movement joints the same thing?
The general name is movement joint, and expansion joint is one common type. On site, people tend to use them interchangeably, and the sealing method is much the same.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
What causes movement joint sealant to fail?
Most often the movement is too much for the product or the joint width. We review the joint design as well as the sealant before pricing, rather than replacing like for like.
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.
Keeping the joints sound
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
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.
External wall joints that fail let rain into the masonry and cavity. The first sign is often a damp patch indoors. Catching it early keeps the water outside.
From enquiry to sign-off
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. Jobs in and around smaller places like Lacey Green are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.

When it isn’t the sealant
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer.

Expansion joint sealing around Lacey Green: points for this area
Lacey Green lies roughly 34 miles out from central London. The roads out of London are lined with trade parks and distribution sheds. Lacey Green sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, while winter salting gets into any joint left open.
In a school such as St John's Church of England Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. For an estate such as The Paddocks Hospital, 2.3 miles north of Lacey Green, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.

Doing it in-house
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
