Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding panel joints
Cladding panels move more than masonry as they heat and cool. The joints need a low-modulus sealant with enough movement capability, and we will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Concrete edges can be weak or carry release agents that stop adhesion. We prepare the faces thoroughly and prime where the maker calls for it and check the edges for soundness as we go.
How we handle expansion joint sealing in Netherne on-the-Hill
Long runs of brick or block have movement joints built in, and they’re easy to miss until the sealant fails. Failed sealant here lets rain into the wall and can leave the joint full of debris. The old seal comes out, backing goes in and a sealant with the right movement class is applied. If you are dealing with previous reseals laid over old sealant and movement joints with split or torn sealant, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Netherne on-the-Hill is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
For a site near Netherne on-the-Hill, measurements and photos up front mean one trip where possible, with the right materials on hand. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we will take it from there.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

What happens if it’s left?
Re-sealing with the same product that failed is often a false economy. If the joint is too narrow or the product wrong for the movement, it needs a different approach and we will tell you honestly. For buildings around smaller places like Netherne on-the-Hill, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

Questions about Netherne on-the-Hill
Would you work within a site like North Downs 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 Netherne on-the-Hill too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Why do our movement joints keep failing?
Usually the joint is moving more than the sealant can take. That’s why we check width, depth and movement class before quoting, rather than replacing like for like.
Can you seal joints in cold or wet weather?
Weather matters for any external joint because a damp or frozen joint won’t take a proper bond. Internal floor joints are far less affected.
Is movement joint sealing guaranteed?
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. Damage from later works or traffic loads outside the joint’s design isn’t a workmanship fault.
Do the joint edges need to be sound before sealing?
Broken arrises have to be put right before resealing, and we’ll point out where that’s the case. Sealing over them leads to early failure.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
For managing agents and facilities managers
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.
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think.

How a job runs
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For work around Netherne on-the-Hill, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Move anything stored against the joints

Aftercare for building managers
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. Record which product went into which joints in the building file so future maintenance isn’t guesswork.
Floor joints with failed fillers break up quickly under wheels. Damaged edges make the floor rough and wear wheels faster and the broken length grows with every pass. Sealing early protects the edges.
