How the job changes by surface
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Brick and block edges need careful preparation. Faces are prepared and primed wherever the sealant maker calls for it.
Car park decks and ramps
Deck and ramp joints take tyre loads, grit and de-icing salts. A trafficable sealant suited to the movement goes in with bays done in phases so the car park keeps running.

What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For a building around Lewson Street, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Agree which areas must stay open

Related advice
Should maintenance staff do it?
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Lewson Street
Sun, rain and frost age external movement joints. In time the bead chalks, stiffens and cracks.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
In and around Lewson Street, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.
What your quote should include
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Who will actually carry out the work
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?

Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
Every joint we seal is backed by a 12-month guarantee on workmanship. Record which product went into which joints in the building file.
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.
Expansion joint sealing in Lewson Street: the local picture
With the shore within about 3 miles, Lewson Street counts as a coastal location. Near the sea, external slabs, ramps and decks see salt air and driven rain as well as their usual loads, and edges left open tend to break up faster. Lewson Street is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.
For a school such as Teynham Parochial Church of England Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.

Questions about Lewson Street
Is Lewson Street off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Must our site in Lewson Street stop work while the joints are done?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Can you quote from photos?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
