Expansion joint sealing in Quendon
Floor movement joints in warehouses, retail and public buildings carry wheeled traffic. Unsupported edges break up under wheels so the product has to suit both the traffic and the movement. If the arrises are already broken, we’ll say so before sealing. If you have water dripping through deck or ramp joints and hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Quendon is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Jobs around smaller places like Quendon are planned so the whole job is done in one visit, with the right materials on hand. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we will take it from there.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Doing it in-house
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
From enquiry to sign-off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Jobs in and around smaller places like Quendon are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- We start with photos, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take, and flag anything that needs an engineer.
- Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Your questions answered
Is Quendon too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Is a hospital such as Saffron Walden Community Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
When to call us in Quendon
Sun, rain and frost age external movement joints. In time the bead chalks, stiffens and cracks and opens at the next temperature swing.
Look out for the following:
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
Another example is Golds Nursery Business Park, which lies south-east of Quendon, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers.
What your quote should include
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Proof of insurance

Floors, slabs and movement joints in Quendon
Quendon is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. 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. At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Quendon. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest.
Large sites such as Saffron Walden Community Hospital (5.3 miles north-east of Quendon) have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels. Business parks such as Funstons Commercial Centre, 2.4 miles to the north-west of Quendon, have car parks, paved areas and long brick and panel elevations, all with movement joints.

Surface by surface
Concrete and precast panel joints
Joints between precast panels open and close with temperature and loading. The sealant needs the right movement capability and a controlled depth.
Cladding panel joints
Access to cladding joints is agreed before the price is fixed. Photos taken near the joints help us price accurately or a site visit fills the gaps.

After the work
After handover, these steps help:
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
Every joint we seal is backed by a 12-month guarantee on workmanship. Record which product went into which joints in the building file so future maintenance isn’t guesswork.
Unsupported floor joint edges spall under forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Damaged edges make the floor rough and wear wheels faster, and the damage spreads along the joint. Keeping the filler or sealant sound protects the floor.
