How we handle expansion joint sealing in Lord's Wood
For movement joints in Lord's Wood, photographs and approximate lengths are the best start. We will come and look where photos don’t show enough. You can also phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to talk the joints through. We work on cladding panel joints, blockwork control joints and car park decks and ramps, and what we’re called in for most is torn sealant in brick or block movement joints and chipped joint edges on forklift routes. Whoever orders the work in Lord's Wood, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around smaller places such as Lord's Wood, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

How the quote is worked out
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Phasing around occupants
- How much there is to seal
- Distance, for remote addresses
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 quote when you are ready.
Sending details for a quote
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Specification clauses that apply
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Access details, including height
- What the building is and how it’s used

Our process
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. For work around Lord's Wood, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We start with photographs, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take.
- 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.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Agree which areas must stay open
Ask for a quote

Questions about Lord's Wood
Is a smaller place like Lord's Wood outside your area?
No. Places such as Lord's Wood are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Lord's Wood, such as Wessex Business Park?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Lord's Wood, Wessex Business Park among them, are all within reach. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
What happens if it rains on the day?
The joint has to be dry, and the air and surface temperature inside the product’s limits. Cold, damp or frosty mornings can stop work outside.
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’ll plan around them.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
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.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Surface by surface
Cladding panel joints
Cladding panels move more than masonry as they heat and cool. The joints need a low-modulus sealant with enough movement capability.
Car park decks and ramps
Failed deck joints often show as leaks on the level below. We strip the old seal, prepare the edges and seal again.
When something else is needed
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
