How a job runs
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, and the work usually takes anything from part of a day to a couple of weeks, depending on joint lengths, widths and access. Jobs in and around smaller places like Stone are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. 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 flag anything that needs an engineer.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Expansion joint sealing in Stone
Joints in car park decks and ramps are among the hardest-working in any building. Wheel loads, grit and de-icing salts attack the seal and the concrete either side. We reseal deck and ramp joints with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement. If you’re dealing with weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes and chipped joint edges on forklift routes, we can put it right. Most enquiries from Stone start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
For a site near Stone, measurements and photos up front mean one trip where possible. Tell us the joint widths if you can, and what drives or walks over them.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

What sealant work can’t fix
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.

Why deal with it now?
Spot repairs can be useful on a tight budget. But if the rest of the run is the same age and product, it’s typically not far behind, and a second visit means paying for access again. We can price a patch and a full reseal side by side. For buildings around smaller places like Stone, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
A quote for movement joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you’re working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Stone
Sealant peeling cleanly off one side is an adhesion failure. Poor preparation, a skipped primer, or sealant bonded to the back of the joint are typical reasons and it often shows on rushed work.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
For estates staff at a university like University Campus Aylesbury Vale (2.5 miles east of Stone), building and paving joints are part of the planned maintenance list.

What the job involves on each surface
Internal floor movement joints
Forklift and pallet-truck wheels break unsupported joint edges. The right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement protects them flagging broken arrises before sealing.
Podium joints
Podiums take foot traffic, planters and weather. We choose a product that copes with feet, wheels and weather.
Questions about Stone
Is Stone off your patch?
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.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Stone, such as Bicester Road Industrial Estate?
Yes, sites like Bicester Road Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Stone. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
How long does movement joint sealing take?
It normally takes a few hours to several weeks, depending on how many metres of joint there are and how much old sealant or filler needs removing. Timings are set out in the quote along with the phasing plan.
Are expansion joints and movement joints the same thing?
They’re closely related. Both let materials grow and shrink with temperature, moisture and load, and the seal across it keeps water and debris out.
Is movement joint sealing guaranteed?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. Tell us right away if a joint we sealed gives trouble in that time.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
