Why act early in Standon
Some quotes just add sealant over the old bead. A bead laid on top of the failed one neither grips nor flexes properly and soon lets go. We cut out the old seal and prepare the faces every time. Older rural buildings around Standon move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

What sets the cost
Before we quote, we look at:
- How much there is to seal
- Travel to remote or island sites
- How accessible the joints are
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What we need to price the job
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
On site: what to expect
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. If others near Standon need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- Closed-cell backing rod is set to depth, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Honest limits
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Brickwork movement joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Precast concrete panel joints

Schools like Roger De Clare First CofE School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly. Office parks like Standon Business Park (less than half a mile south-west of Standon) have decks, ramps and clad elevations whose joints take movement every day.

Questions about Standon
Does your area include sites such as Standon Business Park, near Standon?
Yes. Our area takes in Standon and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Standon Business Park included. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Does a site in Standon have to shut while its joints are sealed?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we will plan from there.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Do you reseal car park expansion joints?
Yes. Let us know the opening hours and which levels or bays have to stay available, and we’ll plan the phasing around it.
Do the joint edges need to be sound before sealing?
Spalled edges need repairing before a new seal will last and we will flag every length affected. A bead on a broken edge soon lets go.
Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
Floor joints on main traffic routes need watching more closely than the rest. Keep racking feet and heavy point loads off joint lines and flag chipped arrises before they spread.
When one joint fails, others of the same age are rarely far behind. Inspecting the whole run is worth the effort so you can prioritise and budget. We will tell you which movement joints need doing now and which can wait.
