Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
How the job changes by surface
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Masonry faces are often porous, dusty or crumbly. We clean them back to sound material and prime where the manufacturer specifies.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast panels often have surface residues that sealant won’t bond to. We prepare the faces thoroughly and prime where the maker calls for it.

Our process
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed before we move to the next. For a job in St George's Fields, access comes first. Give us the hours we can be on site and we will schedule to suit.
- 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.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- 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.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Agree which areas must stay open

Advice
When something else is needed
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Why it’s worth doing now in St George's Fields
Leaving a failed movement joint rarely stays a small problem. Water and debris get in, the joint jams and the edges spall. Acting at the first split keeps the cost down. In St George's Fields, each extra visit means more notices, permits and disruption, so a proper job first time, with the old sealant fully removed, is worth it.
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.

Looking after the joints
After handover, these steps help:
- Note which joints were done, when, and with what
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
Add every elevation, deck and floor joint to your inspection round. Early splits and edges starting to lift show up on a routine check, when they’re still cheap to deal with. Should you spot a problem, you can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and send a picture.
An open joint fills with grit, and a joint full of grit can’t close. The arrises crack and break away under the load and the reseal becomes an edge repair as well. A sound seal keeps the joint working.
FAQs: St George's Fields
Will you take on work at estates like Grand Vitesse Industrial Estate, close to St George's Fields?
Yes. Our area takes in St George's Fields and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Grand Vitesse Industrial Estate included. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Would you work within a site like Evelina London Children's Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is any job too small?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
Do you reseal car park expansion joints?
Yes. These joints take wheels, salt and water, so product choice matters.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Yes, as long as we plan it. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
How much does the work cost?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote and we will price it properly.
