What we are called out for in Row Heath
When a bead pulls away from one face, it has lost adhesion. Poor preparation, a skipped primer, or sealant bonded to the back of the joint are typical reasons, and it’s common on joints sealed in a hurry.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
- Leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below
For a school such as Engaines Primary School and Nursery, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.
What your quote should include
- The named product and why it was chosen
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
What we can’t put right
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Blockwork control joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Cladding panel joints
Different surfaces, different methods
Internal floor movement joints
Forklift and pallet-truck wheels break unsupported joint edges. The right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement protects them flagging broken arrises before sealing.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
A brick movement joint full of old mortar or debris can’t close. We clear the joint fully before sealing and flag any joint that seems undersized.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work normally takes a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases. For work around Row Heath, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take and tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- 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.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Your questions answered
Is a smaller place like Row Heath outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Must our site in Row Heath stop work while the joints are done?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Are expansion joints and movement joints the same thing?
The general name is movement joint, and expansion joint is one common type. On site, people tend to use them interchangeably, and the sealing method is much the same.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
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.
Floor joints with failed fillers break up quickly under wheels. Broken arrises jolt trucks, loads and drivers and the broken length grows with every pass. Sealing early protects the edges.
