What else we do in Shedfield
From enquiry to sign-off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Smaller jobs around Shedfield can be grouped with others nearby. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- 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 flag anything that needs an engineer.
- 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.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Related advice
Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Shedfield
Three-sided adhesion is a common cause of early failure. Bonded on three faces, it can’t stretch evenly when the joint opens.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
Hospital campuses such as Knowle Hospital, 2.4 miles south of Shedfield, grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
Pricing movement joints depends on quantities, condition and access. Ask us for a fixed quote.
What to include in your enquiry
We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:
- The product your specification calls for
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The type of building and who uses it
- The site address and postcode
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

Shedfield: questions and answers
Is Shedfield off your patch?
No. Places such as Shedfield are covered as much as the big 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.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Knowle Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
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. Frost, rain and condensation on steel or concrete can hold up external work, so we plan with the forecast in mind.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
How long will the joint resealing take?
The metres of joint, the access and the amount of removal decide it. Typically it takes a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases.
What happens if it’s left?
Combining joint work with other maintenance reduces set-up costs. Leaking joints need sealing now. We can split the scope into urgent and planned. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Shedfield, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

How the job changes by surface
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Vertical movement joints in brick and block walls let the masonry grow and shrink. They take a low-modulus sealant with a movement class to suit laid over backing rod at the correct depth.
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.
