When it isn’t the sealant
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment

When to call us in Stoneyhills
The edges of the material can fail rather than the sealant. Weak or crumbling concrete, brick or render edges give the sealant nothing sound to grip so edge repair has to come before resealing.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
- Leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
Campuses like University of Essex (to the north of Stoneyhills) mix old and new buildings, with movement joints wherever they meet.

Related advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Podium joints
Podium decks are exposed and often trafficked. We choose a product that copes with feet, wheels and weather.
Joints between different materials
Different materials meeting at a joint rarely move in step. We choose a sealant that grips both faces priming where the maker calls for it.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Stoneyhills can form part of a wider programme.
General trades versus a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Joints that move: notes for Stoneyhills
Stoneyhills is about 40 miles from central London. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift. Rainfall across the South East, Stoneyhills included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.
Estates like Springfield Industrial Estate (0.8 miles south-west of Stoneyhills) combine warehouse slabs, yards and loading bays, all with joints under wheels. Schools such as Ormiston Rivers Academy have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.
Stoneyhills is about 6 miles north-east of Rochford, in Essex.

Stoneyhills: questions and answers
Is Stoneyhills off your patch?
No. Places such as Stoneyhills are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you work at a site such as Springfield Industrial Estate, by Stoneyhills?
Yes. We cover Stoneyhills and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Springfield Industrial Estate. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Why do our movement joints keep failing?
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. Sometimes the edge material itself has failed.
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?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
