Expansion joint sealing across Mill Green
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
General trades versus a specialist
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
How we handle expansion joint sealing in Mill Green
Our movement joint work takes in walls, panels, decks and floors: vertical joints in brick and block facades, joints between precast or cladding panels, concrete slab and deck joints, ramps, podiums and internal floors. The product depends on the movement, the weather and anything that runs over it. If you’re dealing with torn sealant in brick or block movement joints and previous reseals laid over old sealant, we can help, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Mill Green start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Mill Green have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Quoting for work in Mill Green
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- The size and state of each joint
- How much there is to seal
- The product specified
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Sending details for a quote
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Specification clauses that apply
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.

FAQs: Mill Green
Can you work on a hospital site such as West Berkshire Community Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Mill Green too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
What hours do you work?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.

How the job changes by surface
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast and concrete panel joints move daily. We use a sealant classed for the movement, laid over backing to depth.
Podium joints
Podiums take foot traffic, planters and weather. We choose a product that copes with feet, wheels and weather.
On site: what to expect
When we get to site, 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 anything is cut or cleaned, and the work usually takes a short visit for a handful of joints, or several days or more for a car park deck or long runs of facade joints. Smaller jobs around Mill Green can be grouped with others nearby. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Brickwork movement joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Cladding panel joints
Aftercare for building managers
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Check joints after long freezing spells
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
Floor joints on main traffic routes need watching more closely than the rest. Avoid standing heavy loads or racking legs on the joints, and report any chipped edges early.
Floor joints with failed fillers break up quickly under wheels. Damaged edges make the floor rough and wear wheels faster, and the damage spreads along the joint. Keeping the filler or sealant sound protects the floor.
