When something else is needed
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Leadingcross Green: questions and answers
Is Leadingcross Green too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Leadingcross Green is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Does a site in Leadingcross Green 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. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
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. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call 01277 525 020 or email us. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
Is movement joint sealing guaranteed?
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. The guarantee covers how we sealed, not damage caused afterwards.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
Looking after the joints
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
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 and decks and floors suffer most. A routine sweep is the simplest protection.
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.
Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Leadingcross Green
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints. Leadingcross Green is about 39 miles from central London. The roads out of London are lined with trade parks and distribution sheds; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift.
In a school such as Lenham Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. Business parks such as Roebuck Business Park, 1.7 miles to the north-west of Leadingcross Green, have car parks, paved areas and long brick and panel elevations, all with movement joints. Campuses like Canterbury Christ Church University, 2.8 miles to the north-west of Leadingcross Green, mix old and new buildings, with movement joints wherever they meet.

On site: what to expect
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before the next one starts. Smaller jobs around Leadingcross Green can be grouped with others nearby. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

For managing agents and facilities managers
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
General trades versus a specialist
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, 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.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Why it’s worth doing now in Leadingcross Green
Some quotes just add sealant over the old bead. A bead over the old seal can’t bond or flex, so it fails quickly. We cut out the old seal and prepare the faces every time. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Leadingcross Green, rather than one at a time. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
