How the job changes by surface
Concrete and precast panel joints
Joints between precast panels open and close with temperature and loading. We use a sealant classed for the movement, laid over backing to depth.
Joints between different materials
Hybrid or MS polymer sealants bond to many substrates. The choice depends on the substrates and how much the joint moves, and confirm it in the quote.

Where floor joints take the most wear near Lovedean
At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Lovedean. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment. Lovedean lies roughly 57 miles out from central London. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift.
In a school such as Woodcroft Primary, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. Hospital campuses such as Havant War Memorial Hospital, 4.3 miles to the south-east of Lovedean, grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed before we move to the next. If others near Lovedean need work, visits can be combined. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- 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.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- 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
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Common problems we fix in Lovedean
Weathering wears down sealant on exposed elevations and decks. UV hardens the surface, and the sealant loses its ability to stretch and opens at the next temperature swing.
Look out for the following:
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
For an occupier at a site such as Westfield Industrial Estate, 1.3 miles east of Lovedean, the joints at loading doors and dock levellers normally see the hardest wear.
Before you book anyone
- The named product and why it was chosen
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
Why act early in Lovedean
Leaving a failed movement joint rarely stays a small problem. Water and debris get in, the joint jams and the edges spall, so a reseal turns into an edge repair as well. Acting at the first split keeps the cost down. Around Lovedean, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Why appoint us
- Fully insured, including public liability cover
- Constructionline member
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible
- Colour agreed before work starts

Is hospital work, at somewhere like Havant War Memorial Hospital, something you do?

What do you charge?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote.
How do we ask for a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Can the building stay open while you work?
In the majority of cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
What hours do you work?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
How the quote is worked out
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Access and working height
- Phasing around occupants
- How much there is to seal
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What we need to price the job
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Specification clauses that apply
- Any dates the work must fit around
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Should maintenance staff do it?
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, which is what makes a joint last.
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.
