What’s the difference between an expansion joint and a movement joint?
The terms overlap a great deal. A movement joint allows for expansion, contraction, shrinkage and loading while the sealant stops grit and water getting in.
How much does the work cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
What causes movement joint sealant to fail?
Adhesion failure, cohesive failure, edge breakdown and UV ageing account for most cases. Working out the cause comes first.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
In the majority of cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.

Our process
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Smaller jobs around Morestead can be grouped with others nearby. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- A fixed quote follows, naming the sealant and its movement class.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces.
- Closed-cell backing rod is set to depth, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints.
- Where the maker calls for primer, it’s applied first, then the bead goes in and is tooled to a concave finish.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.

Work for main contractors and building owners
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Morestead can form part of a wider programme.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Any access equipment needed
- The total length or number of joints
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- The product specified
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Specification clauses that apply
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.
What the job involves on each surface
Joints between different materials
Hybrid or MS polymer sealants bond to many substrates. We pick the product for the materials and the movement, and confirm it in the quote.
Cladding panel joints
Cladding panels move more than masonry as they heat and cool. A sealant with the right movement class is chosen.
Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
Snow ploughs and scrapers catch on joint lines. Lifting the blade at each joint avoids tearing the bead, and it’s worth checking joints once the cold weather has passed.
External wall joints that fail let rain into the masonry and cavity. It can surface inside as damp a long way from the joint. Catching it early keeps the water outside.
