When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Brickwork movement joints

- Blockwork control joints
Expansion joint sealing in Oversland
Long runs of brick or block have movement joints built in. Failed sealant here lets rain into the wall and can leave the joint full of debris. The old seal is cut away, backing rod goes in at depth, and a low-modulus masonry sealant is gunned and tooled. If you have leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below and joints where the bead has lost adhesion, we can put it right, on podiums and floor movement joints, car park decks and ramps and blockwork control joints alike. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Oversland it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In and around smaller places like Oversland, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Our process
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. For work around Oversland, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- 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.
- Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Agree which areas must stay open

Cost factors for movement joints
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Access and working height
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The total length or number of joints
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Sending details for a quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Specification clauses that apply
- The type of building and who uses it
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to discuss it first.
Doing it in-house
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
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.
Oversland: questions and answers
Is CMA Industrial Park, near Oversland, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Oversland and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as CMA Industrial Park included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is a hospital such as Eastbridge Hospital of St Thomas the Martyr somewhere you can work?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
What causes movement joint sealant to fail?
It depends on how the sealant has let go: a split through the middle points to over-stretching, while peeling from one face points to preparation or primer. Sometimes the edge material itself has failed.
What guarantee do you give on joint sealing?
A 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship. Regular sweeping and inspection help the joints last.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.

Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Oversland
Most movement joint failures come down to the joint stretching further than the sealant can take. A joint that’s too narrow for the movement, or a product with the wrong movement class, will split through the middle. The same product in the same joint tends to fail again.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Joints packed with grit and debris
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
Warehouse floors on estates like CMA Industrial Park (2.9 miles east of Oversland) carry pallet trucks and forklifts over every saw-cut joint.

Where floor joints take the most wear near Oversland
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint. Oversland lies roughly 48 miles out from central London. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors.
A healthcare site such as Eastbridge Hospital of St Thomas the Martyr (to the east of Oversland) depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day. In a school such as Boughton-under-Blean and Dunkirk Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
