Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Lambs Green
Long runs of brick or block have movement joints built in that most people only notice when the sealant has gone. Failed sealant here lets rain into the wall and can leave the joint full of debris. The old seal is cut away, backing rod goes in at depth, and a low-modulus masonry sealant is gunned and tooled. If you have damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed and sealant peeling off one face of the joint, we can put it right. Most enquiries from Lambs Green start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Around smaller places such as Lambs Green, 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.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Common problems we fix in Lambs Green
Some joints were never sealed with the right product. Products not classed for the movement fail early. Movement capability is set out in BS EN ISO 11600.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
- Debris jammed in movement joints
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
For an occupier at a site such as Holmbush Potteries Industrial Estate (1.7 miles south-east of Lambs Green), the joints at loading doors and dock levellers usually see the hardest wear.

- 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.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- 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.

Advice
Maintenance after handover
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
Debris does more harm to joint sealant than most people realise. Grit trodden or driven into the joint works at the surface until it tears. Regular sweeping keeps joint lines clear.
On a multi-storey car park, a failed joint typically shows up as a leak onto the deck underneath. That water often carries de-icing salts with it. Resealing early limits the damage.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.

Common questions from Lambs Green clients
Can you work at a site such as Holmbush Potteries Industrial Estate, by Lambs Green?
Yes. Our area takes in Lambs Green and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Holmbush Potteries Industrial Estate included. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Is Lambs Green too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
What exactly is a movement joint?
Movement joint is the broad term for any joint built in to let a structure move. In everyday use the two names are often swapped.
Does the weather affect joint sealing?
Weather matters for any external joint: rain, frost and condensation all stop sealant bonding. Indoor joints can typically carry on regardless.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
How much does the work cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
Joints that move: notes for Lambs Green
At about 27 miles from central London, Lambs Green is within reach of the capital. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.
At places like New House Business Centre (2.5 miles south-west of Lambs Green), joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on. In a school such as Rusper Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
