With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it.

- We assess the joints on site or from photographs, noting widths and how each has failed.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.

Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Rew Street
Joint design counts for as much as the sealant itself. The joint has to be wide enough for the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability, and depth is controlled using closed-cell backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints. For wider joints, the width-to-depth ratio is often around 2:1, as the manufacturer advises. If you’re dealing with chipped joint edges on forklift routes and layers of sealant in a movement joint, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Searching for sealant specialists in Rew Street? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
In and around smaller places like Rew Street, 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.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Floors, slabs and movement joints in Rew Street
The sea is no more than about 2 miles from Rew Street. Open joints in coastal car parks and yards let in salt-laden water as well as grit, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. Rew Street 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 gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.
For buildings at a park such as Island Technology Park (2.7 miles east of Rew Street), brick and panel movement joints are easy to forget until one leaks. In a school such as Northwood Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.

FAQs: Rew Street
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Mr Rohan Sawant (St Mary’s Hospital), something you do?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Rew Street too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Rew Street is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
What do you charge?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote.
What happens if it rains on the day?
The joint has to be dry, and the air and surface temperature inside the product’s limits. Cold, damp or frosty mornings can stop work outside so external dates keep some flexibility.
Is movement joint sealing guaranteed?
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. The guarantee covers how we sealed, not damage caused afterwards.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a failed movement joint rarely stays a small problem. Water and debris get in, the joint jams and the edges spall, so a reseal turns into an edge repair as well. Resealing early keeps the work to sealant. For buildings around smaller places like Rew Street, 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.
Pricing movement joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you are working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.

What the job involves on each surface
Concrete and precast panel joints
Joints between precast panels open and close with temperature and loading. We use a sealant classed for the movement, laid over backing to depth.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Long brick and block elevations have movement joints at intervals. They take a low-modulus sealant with a movement class to suit laid over backing rod at the correct depth.
Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
In warehouses, forklift and pallet-truck routes take the most wear. Keep racking feet and heavy point loads off joint lines, and report any chipped edges early.
External wall joints that fail let rain into the masonry and cavity. The first sign is often a damp patch indoors, well after the seal first opened. Resealing promptly prevents internal damage.
