About our 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; water dripping through to the deck below is often the first sign. A sealant suited to traffic and the expected movement goes in and the work can be phased so parts of the car park stay open. If you have hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades and new sealant over old, now failing, 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’re there and tell you what we find.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Stone have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application.

What the job involves on each 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, then seal and tool the joint.
Internal floor movement joints
Floor joints include saw-cut joints and construction joints. Trafficked floor joints often get a semi-rigid filler.

What else we do in Stone
Maintenance after handover
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
Keep wheels, feet and water off new joints until the sealant has cured. The time varies with product, conditions and joint depth. Barriers left in place until then protect the finish.
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’ll tell you which movement joints need doing now and which can wait.
How a job runs
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself 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, and we clear our waste as we work. Rural sites near Stone may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- We assess the joints on site or from photos, noting widths and how each has failed.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Advice
Where floor joints take the most wear near Stone
Stone sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Near the sea, external slabs, ramps and decks see salt air and driven rain as well as their usual loads, so it pays to keep them sealed. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.
Around Stone, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves. Around Stone, open joints collect water and debris, and the arrises are the next to go; we’ll tell you if the edges need repairing first.

Your questions answered
Does the sea air around Stone change the choice of sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Is Stone too far out for you?
Not at all. Stone is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
What do you charge?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Can you seal joints in cold or wet weather?
The joint has to be dry, and the air and surface temperature inside the product’s limits. Cold, damp or frosty mornings can stop work outside so external dates keep some flexibility.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Quoting for work in Stone
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- How accessible the joints are
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- How much existing material needs removing
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
Sending details for a quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Access details, including height
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Commercial clients in Stone
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
General trades versus a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
