What sets the cost
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Before you send an enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Any specification or named product
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The type of building and who uses it
- Your programme or deadline
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? We will quote against your scope and drawings that you can work with. For a chat about it beforehand, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
What sealant work can’t fix
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Why deal with it now?
Closing a car park for a reseal is rarely an option. Phased work by bay or zone lets the rest stay in use. We agree phasing with you before work starts. Converted and older buildings near places like Marks Tey tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
Why us?
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months
- Failed material removed, not covered up

Marks Tey: questions and answers
Is Stane Retail Park, near Marks Tey, within your area?
Yes, sites like Stane Retail Park are within our area, along with the rest of Marks Tey. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is Marks Tey too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Why has the sealant in our expansion joints split?
The way it has failed usually tells us why: a split through the middle points to over-stretching, while peeling from one face points to preparation or primer. Broken edges are a third possibility.
Do the joint edges need to be sound before sealing?
Broken arrises have to be put right before resealing and we’ll flag every length affected. Sealing over them leads to early failure.
What sealant do you use in movement joints?
Movement capability matters most as set out in BS EN ISO 11600. Hybrid or MS polymer products suit some mixed-material joints.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
On site: what to expect
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we’re cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. If others near Marks Tey need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We start with photos, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take and tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
