Surface by surface
Internal floor movement joints
Forklift and pallet-truck wheels break unsupported joint edges. The right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement protects them.
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.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. 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.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Your questions answered
Can you work at a site such as Hallsford Bridge Industrial Estate, by Norton Heath?
Yes. We cover Norton Heath and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Hallsford Bridge Industrial Estate. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is a smaller place like Norton Heath outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
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 we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Are expansion joints and movement joints the same thing?
They’re closely related. A movement joint allows for expansion, contraction, shrinkage and loading, and the seal across it keeps water and debris out.
Do you guarantee expansion joint work?
The 12-month guarantee applies to the workmanship. Tell us straight away if a joint we sealed gives trouble in that time.
What if the joint edges are damaged?
Sound edges are essential. If they’re damaged, we will say so before any sealing, so the new seal has something to grip.
Is colour matching possible?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Where floor joints take the most wear near Norton Heath
Norton Heath is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External joints still wait for dry conditions, while winter salting gets into any joint left open. Central London is about 23 miles from Norton Heath. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London.

What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Cladding panel joints
Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
Add every elevation, deck and floor joint to your inspection round. Early splits and edges starting to lift show up on a routine check. Should you spot a problem, you can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and send a picture.
Joints sealed at the same time generally fail around the same time. Inspecting the whole run is worth the effort so you can prioritise and budget. We will tell you which movement joints need doing now and which can wait.
