Common problems we fix in Skye Green
With no backing rod or bond-breaker in place, sealant grips the base of the joint too. Sealant fixed to the base and sides can’t flex, so it tears, which is why depth control matters.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
Schools like Honywood Community Science School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Their public liability cover
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- The named product and why it was chosen
Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
Movement joints belong on the planned maintenance inspection list. A periodic look picks up tears and lifting before water gets in, when they’re still cheap to deal with. If anything looks wrong, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with photos.
Joints sealed at the same time generally fail around the same time. It pays to check every joint, not just the obvious one. We’ll tell you which movement joints need doing now and which can wait.

Questions about Skye Green
Is Skye Green too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will our site in Skye Green have to close for joint sealing?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Can you quote from photographs?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Which sealant will you use?
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.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Can you send site paperwork?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Commercial clients in Skye Green
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Skye Green can form part of a wider programme.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Honest limits
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What else we do in Skye Green
Our process
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. If others near Skye Green need work, visits can be combined. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- 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.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Leave it or put it right?
Sealing over a failed movement joint is a common shortcut. A bead laid on top of the failed one neither grips nor flexes properly. Full removal and preparation is in every quote. Halls, stores and units around places like Skye Green may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: 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.
