Honest limits
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Cladding panel joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
Why deal with it now?
Patching the worst lengths of a joint can make sense short term. The remaining sealant is often close to failing too, and a second visit means paying for access again. We can price a patch and a full reseal side by side. Older rural buildings around Old Warren move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
What you get with us
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows
- Fixed quotes based on photos, drawings or a visit
- Constructionline member
- CHAS accredited

Do you need expansion joint sealing in Old Warren?
Repeated failure often traces back to the wrong product. A stiff or general-purpose sealant across a joint with large movement won’t cope. BS EN ISO 11600 classifies building sealants by movement capability.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Joints packed with grit and debris
Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Youngs Industrial Estate (1.7 miles west of Old Warren): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time.

Failed deck joints often show as leaks on the level below. The old seal comes out, the edges are prepared and the joint resealed, and we’ll tell you if any edges need repairing first.
Internal floor movement joints
Warehouse and retail floors have saw-cut induced joints and construction joints. A semi-rigid filler is common in trafficked industrial floors and a flexible sealant where the joint moves more.

FAQs: Old Warren
Do we have to stop operations in Old Warren while the joints are sealed?
In the majority of cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Is a smaller place like Old Warren outside your area?
No. Places such as Old Warren are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
How long will the joint resealing take?
Allow a short visit for a handful of joints, or several days or more for a car park deck or long runs of facade joints. Timings are set out in the quote.
What’s the difference between an expansion joint and a movement joint?
Movement joint is the broad term for any joint built in to let a structure move. In everyday use the two names are often swapped.
