What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal

Expansion joint sealing in Margaret Roding, done properly
Brickwork and blockwork walls have vertical movement joints at intervals that most people only notice when the sealant has gone. Once the seal fails, rain reaches the cavity and the joint can no longer close. The old seal comes out, backing goes in and a sealant with the right movement class is applied. We work on cladding panel joints, blockwork control joints and brickwork movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are sealant pulling off the joint face and joints packed with grit and debris. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Margaret Roding it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Margaret Roding have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

What sets the cost
These are the things that shape the price:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- The site’s rules and procedures
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What we need to price the job
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- When you need the work done
- The type of building and who uses it
- Specification clauses that apply
- Access details, including height
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Maintenance after handover
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Note which joints were done, when, and with what
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. Record which product went into which joints in the building file.
Joints sealed at the same time generally fail around the same time. Inspecting the whole run is worth the effort. We can suggest an order, worst joints first.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself normally taking a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases. For a building around Margaret Roding, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take and tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- 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.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Internal floor movement joints
Wheeled traffic chips floor joint edges that aren’t supported. The right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement protects them, and tell you if edges need repairing first.
Joints between different materials
Hybrid or MS polymer sealants bond to many substrates. We pick the product for the materials and the movement.
Owners, agents and contractors
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Margaret Roding can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Margaret Roding: questions and answers
Is Margaret Roding off your patch?
No. Places such as Margaret Roding are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Does a site in Margaret Roding have to shut while its joints are sealed?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Why has the sealant in our expansion joints split?
The common causes are poor preparation, three-sided adhesion, the wrong movement class and weathering. We diagnose which one it is before resealing, because the fix differs.
What guarantee do you give on joint sealing?
The workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months from sign-off and we hold public liability insurance. Regular sweeping and inspection help the joints last.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
