Rolvenden Layne: questions and answers
Can you work on a hospital site such as West View Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is Rolvenden Layne too far out for you?
Not at all. Rolvenden Layne is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
What site paperwork can you supply?
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.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, as long as we plan it. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Doing it in-house
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Our process
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For work around Rolvenden Layne, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability and tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- 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.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Confirm the product named in the specification

What the job involves on each surface
Cladding panel joints
Metal and composite panels shift considerably as temperatures change. A sealant with the right movement class is chosen in a colour confirmed for that product.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast panels often have surface residues that sealant won’t bond to. Proper cleaning and primer where specified give a sound bond and check the edges for soundness as we go.
Why it’s worth doing now in Rolvenden Layne
Re-sealing with the same product that failed is often a false economy. A higher movement class, or a design change by the engineer, may be needed. For buildings around smaller places like Rolvenden Layne, 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. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

When it isn’t the sealant
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant

Keeping the joints sound
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
- Note which joints were done, when, and with what
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
Floor joints on main traffic routes need watching more closely than the rest. Avoid standing heavy loads or racking legs on the joints, and report any chipped edges early.
An open joint fills with grit, and a joint full of grit can’t close. The edges then take the pressure and start to spall and the reseal becomes an edge repair as well. Keeping the seal sound avoids all of that.
