On site: what to expect
On arrival, 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, with the work itself typically taking a short visit for a handful of joints, or several days or more for a car park deck or long runs of facade joints. Rural sites near Rudley Green may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Advice
FAQs: Rudley Green
Is a hospital such as St Peter's Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is a smaller place like Rudley Green outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you quote from photographs?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit before quoting.
Why do our movement joints keep failing?
Most often the movement is too much for the product or the joint width. We review the joint design as well as the sealant before pricing so the same failure isn’t repeated.
How much does the work cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Do you need expansion joint sealing in Rudley Green?
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.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
On a site such as Wycke Hill Business Park, which lies north of Rudley Green, the movement joints are in car park slabs, paving and building elevations.

Why it’s worth doing now in Rudley Green
Spot repairs can be useful on a tight budget. The remaining sealant is often close to failing too. We can price a patch and a full reseal side by side. Older rural buildings around Rudley Green move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
A quote for movement joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you are working to. Call for a quote.

What the job involves on each surface
Podium joints
Podiums take foot traffic, planters and weather. We choose a product that copes with feet, wheels and weather.
Joints between different materials
Some mixed-material joints suit a hybrid sealant. The choice depends on the substrates and how much the joint moves, and confirm it in the quote.

Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.

These are the things that shape the price:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The size and state of each joint

Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
