How a job runs
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. For a job in Leaves Green, access comes first: booked loading, goods lifts, the building’s permit system and a spot to keep materials. Give us the hours we can be on site and we will schedule to suit.
- 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.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Arrange parking or a loading space
Getting a fixed quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Related advice
After the work
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
- Note which joints were done, when, and with what
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
Snow ploughs and scrapers catch on joint lines. Lifting the blade at each joint avoids tearing the bead.
A failed deck joint lets water straight through to the level below. Salty water dripping through stains soffits and lands on parked vehicles, which is bad news for the concrete and the people parking below. Sealing the joint promptly stops it at source.
Common questions from Leaves Green clients
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Princess Royal University Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Leaves Green, such as Glebe Farm Business Park?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Leaves Green, Glebe Farm Business Park among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
How long does movement joint sealing take?
It usually takes a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases, with phasing where areas must stay open. Cure time before reopening is confirmed on the day.
Is colour matching possible?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Do you reseal car park expansion joints?
Yes. Deck and ramp joints are resealed with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement.

Brickwork and blockwork joints
Vertical movement joints in brick and block walls let the masonry grow and shrink. They take a low-modulus sealant with a movement class to suit laid over backing rod at the correct depth.
Joints between different materials
Different materials meeting at a joint rarely move in step. We choose a sealant that grips both faces, with primer where specified.
General trades versus a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
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, which is what makes a joint last.
When to call us in Leaves Green
With no backing rod or bond-breaker in place, sealant grips the base of the joint too. Sealant fixed to the base and sides can’t flex, so it tears so backing is set before sealing.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
Like every part of Greater London, Leaves Green is covered by the ULEZ, so vehicle access, loading and parking are planned before the first visit.
