Why it’s worth doing now in Statenborough
A failed joint seal doesn’t mean the slab, panel or wall needs replacing. Where the edges are sound, cutting out and resealing is enough. If the edges have broken up, we’ll tell you they need repairing first. Halls, stores and units around places like Statenborough may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Statenborough
Width, depth and product all have to work together. The joint has to be wide enough for the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability while depth is limited by backing rod or, in shallow joints, a bond-breaker. For wider joints, the width-to-depth ratio is often around 2:1, as the manufacturer advises. We work on car park decks and ramps, blockwork control joints and cladding panel joints, and what we’re called in for most is joints packed with grit and debris and damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed. Most enquiries from Statenborough start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Around smaller places such as Statenborough, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Common problems we fix in Statenborough
With no backing rod or bond-breaker in place, sealant grips the base of the joint too. Bonded on three faces, it can’t stretch evenly when the joint opens so backing is set before sealing.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
In a school such as Sandwich Technology School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.

Aftercare for building managers
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
Floor joints on main traffic routes need watching more closely than the rest. Avoid standing heavy loads or racking legs on the joints, and report any chipped edges early.
Rain gets into walls through torn brick and block movement joints. The first sign is often a damp patch indoors by which time the joint has been open for a while. Resealing promptly prevents internal damage.
Joints that move: notes for Statenborough
Statenborough sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints. At about 63 miles from central London, Statenborough is within reach of the capital. 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.
On a site such as Birnham Farm Business Centre, which lies west of Statenborough, the movement joints are in car park slabs, paving and building elevations.

Your questions answered
Will our site in Statenborough have to close for joint sealing?
In the majority of cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Will you take on work at estates like Birnham Farm Business Centre, close to Statenborough?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Statenborough, Birnham Farm Business Centre among them, are all within reach. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
What sealant do you use in movement joints?
The right product depends on the joint. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many facade joints, while polyurethane is common in trafficked floor and deck joints.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, as long as we plan it. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Can a joint be sealed if the edges are broken?
Broken arrises have to be put right before resealing and we will flag every length affected. Sealing over them leads to early failure.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Statenborough can form part of a wider programme.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
What we can’t put right
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Our process
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. Jobs in and around smaller places like Statenborough are usually planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- 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 tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Move anything stored against the joints
