Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Our process
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For a building around Newtown, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- We start with photographs, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability, and flag anything that needs an engineer.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

About our expansion joint sealing in Newtown
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 and we name it in the quote. Most enquiries involve car park joints leaking onto vehicles below and joints where the bead has lost adhesion, on car park decks and ramps, cladding panel joints and blockwork control joints.

Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
On car parks, winter clearance can damage deck joint sealant. Raising blades over joints where possible protects the seal, and it’s worth checking joints once the cold weather has passed.
When one joint fails, others of the same age are rarely far behind. It pays to check every joint, not just the obvious one, so the work can be planned rather than rushed. We can suggest an order, worst joints first.
When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think.

Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Newtown
Newtown is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints. Central London is about 24 miles from Newtown. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day.
Hospitals like Edenbridge and District War Memorial Hospital (to the north-west of Newtown) have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock. For a school such as Hever Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.
Newtown is about 6 miles north-east of East Grinstead, in Kent. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Newtown can call on us for movement joints. Newtown is one of 931 places we cover in Kent for movement joints. For work in that direction, see our London page, about 24 miles away.

Questions we are asked in Newtown
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Edenbridge and District War Memorial Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Do we have to stop operations in Newtown while the joints are sealed?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we’ll plan from there.
What sealant do you use in movement joints?
Movement capability matters most. Hybrid or MS polymer products suit some mixed-material joints.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
What exactly is a movement joint?
Put simply, it’s a planned break in a wall, slab or deck so the materials can move. Expansion joint is a name often used for the same thing and both need a flexible seal.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
When can you be on site?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.

What else we do in Newtown
Work for main contractors and building owners
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Newtown. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Doing it in-house
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Surface by surface
Car park decks and ramps
Water coming through deck joints is the usual first sign. We strip the old seal, prepare the edges and seal again.
Podium joints
Podium joints often sit within a waterproofing system. Where the specification calls for sealant, we reseal, and tell you if the problem looks like the waterproofing below.
