What the job involves on each surface
Internal floor movement joints
Floor joints include saw-cut joints and construction joints. A semi-rigid filler is common in trafficked industrial floors and a flexible sealant where the joint moves more.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Masonry faces are often porous, dusty or crumbly. We clean them back to sound material and prime where the manufacturer specifies.
How we handle expansion joint sealing in Pitland Street
Internal floor joints take trolleys, pallet trucks and forklifts. Unsupported edges break up under wheels. We’ll tell you if the edges need repairing before sealing. We work on blockwork control joints, precast concrete panel joints and brickwork movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades and rain penetration at brick or block movement joints. Most enquiries from Pitland Street start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
For a site near Pitland Street, measurements and photos up front mean one trip where possible, with the right materials on hand. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we’ll take it from there.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Traffic, movement and joints around Pitland Street
At about 26 miles from central London, Pitland Street is within reach of the capital. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day. Rainfall across the South East, Pitland Street included, is lower than in many 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.
For floors and slabs around Pitland Street, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint.

What happens if it’s left?
Combining joint work with other maintenance reduces set-up costs. Leaking joints need sealing now. We can split the scope into urgent and planned. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Pitland Street, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

What we’re called out for in Pitland Street
Sun, rain and frost age external movement joints. UV hardens the surface, and the sealant loses its ability to stretch.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
Schools such as Belmont Prep School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
After the work
For the best life from the joints:
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Check joints after long freezing spells
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
Keep wheels, feet and water off new joints until the sealant has cured. How long that takes depends on the product, the temperature and the depth of the joint. Barriers left in place until then protect the finish.
Rain gets into walls through torn brick and block movement joints. It can surface inside as damp a long way from the joint by which time the joint has been open for a while. Catching it early keeps the water outside.
General trades versus a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.

From enquiry to sign-off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For work around Pitland Street, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Pitland Street: questions and answers
Is a smaller place like Pitland Street outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Which documents can you supply for work in Pitland Street?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
What guarantee do you give on joint sealing?
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. The guarantee covers how we sealed, not damage caused afterwards.
What causes movement joint sealant to fail?
Adhesion failure, cohesive failure, edge breakdown and UV ageing account for most cases. We diagnose which one it is before resealing.
What do you charge?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
