Diagnose, treat, sign off
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed before we move to the next. For work around Nash, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in

How the quote is worked out
What shapes the price:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- How accessible the joints are
- How much existing material needs removing
A quote for movement joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you’re working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.
What to include in your enquiry
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The type of building and who uses it
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, phone 01277 525 020 or email us.
Owners, agents and contractors
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
Doing it in-house
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.

Brickwork and blockwork joints
Brick and block edges need careful preparation. Faces are prepared and primed wherever the sealant maker calls for it, then seal and tool the joint.
Podium joints
Podiums take foot traffic, planters and weather. We choose a product that copes with feet, wheels and weather.

FAQs: Nash
Is Wingham Industrial Estate, near Nash, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Nash and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Wingham Industrial Estate included. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Is Nash too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Do you use silicone or polyurethane in movement joints?
The specification comes first, then the joint’s movement and exposure. The quote states the sealant and its movement class, so you know what’s going in.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
What we’re called out for in Nash
Sealant peeling cleanly off one side is an adhesion failure. Dusty, damp or contaminated faces, a missing primer and three-sided adhesion are the usual causes, and it’s common on joints sealed in a hurry.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Debris jammed in movement joints
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
If you manage units on an estate such as Wingham Industrial Estate, which lies south-west of Nash, the floor joints under forklifts and pallet trucks and the slab joints in the yard are the ones to watch.
