Surface by surface
Internal floor movement joints
Wheeled traffic chips floor joint edges that aren’t supported. We match the product to the traffic and the movement.
Podium joints
Podium joints often sit within a waterproofing system. Where the specification calls for sealant, we reseal, and tell you if the problem looks like the waterproofing below.
How we handle expansion joint sealing in Radfall
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 comes out, backing goes in and a sealant with the right movement class is applied, primed where the manufacturer specifies. We work on precast concrete panel joints, podiums and floor movement joints and brickwork movement joints, and what we’re called in for most is sealant peeling off one face of the joint and expansion joints split through the centre of the bead. For commercial sealant work in Radfall, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Jobs around smaller places like Radfall are planned so the whole job is done in one visit, with the right materials on hand. Tell us the joint widths if you can, and what drives or walks over them.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Questions about Radfall
Does a coastal location like Radfall affect which sealant is used?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Does your area include sites such as Joseph Wilson Industrial Park, near Radfall?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Radfall, Joseph Wilson Industrial Park among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
What exactly is a movement joint?
They’re closely related. Both let materials grow and shrink with temperature, moisture and load, and the seal across it keeps water and debris out.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Is Radfall in your area?
Yes. Sites across Radfall are covered, with one number for every area we cover.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
Is any job too small?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- 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 send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

On site: what to expect
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Jobs in and around smaller places like Radfall are normally planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. 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 tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- 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.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
Quotes

Leave it or put it right?
Closing a car park for a reseal is rarely an option. Work can be planned so parts of the deck stay open without shutting the whole car park. We agree phasing with you before work starts. For buildings around smaller places like Radfall, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.
