Common questions from Lee clients
Is Lee too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Our building in Lee is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Yes, as long as we plan it. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Which product is best for expansion joints?
It depends on the movement, exposure and traffic. Facades often take a low-modulus silicone; floors and decks usually need a polyurethane.
Can weather delay the job?
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.
Expansion joint sealing in Lee
The seal is what lets a movement joint do its job. When the sealant splits or lets go, the gap fills with dirt and water, the joint can’t close properly and its edges begin to crumble. Resealing at the first signs of failure is far cheaper than repairing the material either side. Site teams most often ask us about sealant peeling off one face of the joint and movement joints with split or torn sealant, on podiums and floor movement joints, precast concrete panel joints and blockwork control joints.

Smaller community and commercial buildings around Lee have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

When to bring in a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.

What affects the price in Lee
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Any access equipment needed
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
Sending details for a quote
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:

- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Access details, including height

We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. For a building around Lee, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- We assess the joints on site or from photos, noting widths and how each has failed.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- 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.

Advice
Expansion joint sealing around Lee: how the place shapes the job
Lee sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, which is why split joints are worth sealing before the edges deteriorate. 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.
Another example is Nursling Industrial Estate, 1.3 miles south of Lee, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers. For an occupier at a site such as Crescent Industrial Estate, which lies south of Lee, the joints at loading doors and dock levellers typically see the hardest wear. University campuses such as University of Southampton, 4.3 miles to the south-east of Lee, have car parks, paved walkways and building elevations with movement joints.

When something else is needed

- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment

Different surfaces, different methods
Internal floor movement joints
Warehouse and retail floors have saw-cut induced joints and construction joints. A semi-rigid filler is common in trafficked industrial floors.
Cladding panel joints
Cladding panels move more than masonry as they heat and cool. A sealant with the right movement class is chosen, and we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
