Expansion joint sealing in Stone Street
Brickwork and blockwork walls have vertical movement joints at intervals. Once the seal fails, rain reaches the cavity and the joint can no longer close. The old seal is cut away, backing rod goes in at depth, and a low-modulus masonry sealant is gunned and tooled with primer where the maker calls for it. We work on blockwork control joints, podiums and floor movement joints and precast concrete panel joints, and what we are called in for most is weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes and chipped joint edges on forklift routes. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Stone Street, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Stone Street have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Common questions from Stone Street clients
Is a smaller place like Stone Street outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Cygnet Hospital Godden Green?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Can you send site paperwork?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
What causes movement joint sealant to fail?
The way it has failed typically tells us why: a split through the middle points to over-stretching, while peeling from one face points to preparation or primer. Broken edges are a third possibility.
Do you guarantee expansion joint work?
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. The guarantee covers how we sealed, not damage caused afterwards.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
From enquiry to sign-off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For a building around Stone Street, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- A fixed quote follows, naming the sealant and its movement class.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces, 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.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Why act early in Stone Street
Combining joint work with other maintenance reduces set-up costs. Leaking joints need sealing now because damage continues. We can split the scope into urgent and planned. For buildings around smaller places like Stone Street, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.

After the work
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. Keep the handover details, product and date with your O&M records.
Once debris packs a failed joint, the structure has nowhere to expand. The edges then take the pressure and start to spall. Keeping the seal sound avoids all of that.
Different surfaces, different methods
Car park decks and ramps
Failed deck joints often show as leaks on the level below. We strip the old seal, prepare the edges and seal again, and we will tell you if any edges need repairing first.
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.

What else we do in Stone Street
What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- The site’s rules and procedures
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
Sending details for a quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- What the building is and how it’s used
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? We’ll quote against your scope and drawings you can plan around. For a chat about it beforehand, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Doing it in-house
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
