Owners, agents and contractors
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
How the quote is worked out
Before we quote, we look at:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Location, for remote and island sites
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Before you send an enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Specification clauses that apply
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. To take the first step, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
What the job involves on each surface
Joints between different materials
Some mixed-material joints suit a hybrid sealant. We pick the product for the materials and the movement, and confirm it in the quote.
Cladding panel joints
Cladding panels move more than masonry as they heat and cool. The joints need a low-modulus sealant with enough movement capability.
What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We’ll tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Brickwork movement joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
Petteridge: questions and answers
Is Petteridge too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Is a hospital such as Tunbridge Wells Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Can you send site paperwork?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Are expansion joints and movement joints the same thing?
The general name is movement joint, and expansion joint is one common type. On site, people tend to use them interchangeably and the way they’re sealed is similar.
How long will the joint resealing take?
It usually takes a few hours to several weeks, depending on how many metres of joint there are and how much old sealant or filler needs removing. Timings are set out in the quote.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs typically get a visit.

Expansion joint sealing around Petteridge: how the place shapes the job
Petteridge 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. Petteridge is about 32 miles from central London. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital.
On industrial estates such as Eldon Way Industrial Estate, 2.7 miles to the north of Petteridge, saw-cut floor joints, loading bay slabs and yard joints take the heaviest traffic. For an estate such as Tunbridge Wells Hospital, 3.2 miles west of Petteridge, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.

Advice
Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Petteridge
Some joints were never sealed with the right product. Products not classed for the movement fail early. Movement capability is set out in BS EN ISO 11600, and specifications often refer to it.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
Schools like Brenchley and Matfield Church of England Primary School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.
