Expansion joint sealing in Nutfield, done properly
Brickwork and blockwork walls have vertical movement joints at intervals that most people only notice when the sealant has gone. Once the seal fails, rain reaches the cavity and the joint can no longer close. The old seal is cut away, backing rod goes in at depth, and a low-modulus masonry sealant is gunned and tooled. The enquiries we see most involve rain penetration at brick or block movement joints and water dripping through deck or ramp joints, on podiums and floor movement joints, brickwork movement joints and precast concrete panel joints. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Nutfield, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Jobs around smaller places like Nutfield are planned so the whole job is done in one visit. Tell us the joint widths if you can, and what drives or walks over them.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

When to bring in a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Owners, agents and contractors
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.

What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Access and working height
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Phasing around occupants
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Your programme or deadline
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
On site: what to expect
We follow your site rules from the start: 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, and each area is checked before we leave it. For a building around Nutfield, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- 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.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Related advice
FAQs: Nutfield
Does your area include sites such as Brewerstreet Dairy Business Park, near Nutfield?
Yes, sites like Brewerstreet Dairy Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Nutfield. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Is a smaller place like Nutfield outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Why has the sealant in our expansion joints split?
The common causes are poor preparation, three-sided adhesion, the wrong movement class and weathering. We diagnose which one it is before resealing since each needs a different fix.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
When to call us in Nutfield
On trafficked joints, wheels and salts do the damage. Wheel loads stress the sealant and the arrises, while de-icing salts and grit attack the seal. The product has to be suited to the traffic.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
Business parks such as Brewerstreet Dairy Business Park (to the north-east of Nutfield) have car parks, paved areas and long brick and panel elevations, all with movement joints.
What your quote should include
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
Honest limits
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
