Questions about Sherington
Is Sherington too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you work at a site such as Cromwell Business Park, by Sherington?
Yes. We cover Sherington and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Cromwell Business Park. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
What causes movement joint sealant to fail?
Normally the joint is moving more than the sealant can take. That’s why we check width, depth and movement class before quoting, rather than replacing like for like.
Can you seal car park deck joints?
Yes. Let us know the opening hours and which levels or bays have to stay available and we will plan around them.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
How long will the joint resealing take?
It normally takes anything from part of a day to a couple of weeks, depending on joint lengths, widths and access. We confirm the timescale with the quote, including any phasing.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Expansion joint sealing in Sherington
Every structure moves a little, all the time: they expand in the heat, shrink as they dry, and shift under load. Expansion and movement joints are built in so the structure can move without cracking and the seal across each one keeps out water and grit. We seal and reseal movement joints in walls, panels, decks and floors for buildings in Sherington. We work on cladding panel joints, blockwork control joints and precast concrete panel joints, and what we’re called in for most is expansion joints split through the centre of the bead and spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Sherington from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Sherington have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

How the job changes by surface
Internal floor movement joints
Warehouse and retail floors have saw-cut induced joints and construction joints. A semi-rigid filler is common in trafficked industrial floors and a flexible sealant where the joint moves more.
Joints between different materials
Hybrid or MS polymer sealants bond to many substrates. We pick the product for the materials and the movement.
Why it’s worth doing now in Sherington
Patching the worst lengths of a joint can make sense short term. But if the rest of the run is the same age and product, it’s normally not far behind. We can price a patch and a full reseal side by side. Older rural buildings around Sherington move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Pricing movement joints depends on quantities, condition and access. Call for a quote.

Honest limits
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Cladding panel joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Blockwork control joints
How the quote is worked out
Before we quote, we look at:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The size and state of each joint
- Whether the work must be split into stages
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
However big the job, the same details help:
- The postcode of the building
- Your programme or deadline
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Clear photos of the problem areas
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we’ll return a fixed quote that you can work with. For a chat about it beforehand, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
From enquiry to sign-off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Jobs in and around smaller places like Sherington are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We assess the joints on site or from photographs, noting widths and how each has failed.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Doing it in-house
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Where floor joints take the most wear near Sherington
Sherington lies roughly 50 miles out from central London. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day. Sherington has two named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic.
In a school such as Sherington Church of England School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. For estates staff at a university like Cranfield University, which lies south-east of Sherington, building and paving joints are part of the planned maintenance list. Another example is Blakelands Industrial Estate, 2.9 miles to the south-west of Sherington, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers.
