How we handle expansion joint sealing in Nettlestead Green
We cover the full range of movement joints: brickwork and blockwork joints, precast and cladding panel joints, concrete joints, car park decks and ramps, podiums and floor movement joints. Every one calls for a sealant picked for its movement, exposure and traffic, and we’ll confirm the choice in the quote. We work on car park decks and ramps, podiums and floor movement joints and brickwork movement joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are sealant pulling off the joint face and arrises breaking up along floor joints. Most enquiries from Nettlestead 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.
Around smaller places such as Nettlestead Green, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
Before you send an enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Specification clauses that apply
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Access details, including height
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
When to bring in a specialist
Redoing a failed joint typically 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.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
From enquiry to sign-off
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we’re cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. Jobs in and around smaller places like Nettlestead Green are usually planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. Record which product went into which joints in the building file, so the next reseal starts with the facts.
A failed deck joint lets water straight through to the level below. Salty water dripping through stains soffits and lands on parked vehicles. Sealing the joint promptly stops it at source.
Different surfaces, different methods
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Vertical movement joints in brick and block walls let the masonry grow and shrink. They take a low-modulus sealant with a movement class to suit.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast panels often have surface residues that sealant won’t bond to. We prepare the faces thoroughly and prime where the maker calls for it, so the new seal holds.
Owners, agents and contractors
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
