From enquiry to sign-off
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. For a building around Maltman's Hill, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- We start with photographs, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Point out any areas we must not close

How we handle expansion joint sealing in Maltman's Hill
Long runs of brick or block have movement joints built in that most people only notice when the sealant has gone. Failed sealant here lets rain into the wall and can leave the joint full of debris. The old seal comes out, backing goes in and a sealant with the right movement class is applied with primer where the maker calls for it. If you’re dealing with brittle, chalky sealant on external joints and water getting into the wall through a failed joint, we can help, on cladding panel joints, precast concrete panel joints and podiums and floor movement joints alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Maltman's Hill, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around smaller places such as Maltman's Hill, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

What else we do in Maltman's Hill
Should maintenance staff do it?
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
When to call us in Maltman's Hill
With no backing rod or bond-breaker in place, sealant grips the base of the joint too. Bonded on three faces, it can’t stretch evenly when the joint opens.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Debris jammed in movement joints
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
For floors and slabs around Maltman's Hill, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint.

What the job involves on each surface
Concrete and precast panel joints
Joints between precast panels open and close with temperature and loading. The sealant needs the right movement capability and a controlled depth.
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.
Owners, agents and contractors
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.

Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.
Once a joint near Maltman's Hill opens up, grit and water get in and the edges start to break.
