Surface by surface
Podium joints
Podium decks are exposed and often trafficked. A sealant suited to both traffic and exposure is used.
Joints between different materials
Hybrid or MS polymer sealants bond to many substrates. We pick the product for the materials and the movement.

Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
Add every elevation, deck and floor joint to your inspection round. Early splits and edges starting to lift show up on a routine check. If anything looks wrong, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with photos.
An open joint fills with grit, and a joint full of grit can’t close. The edges then take the pressure and start to spall, turning a sealant job into a repair job. Keeping the seal sound avoids all of that.
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 typically takes a short visit for a handful of joints, or several days or more for a car park deck or long runs of facade joints, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For a building around Stonymarsh, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
Getting a fixed quote
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Advice
General trades versus a specialist
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. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Traffic, movement and joints around Stonymarsh
Central London is about 69 miles from Stonymarsh. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift. Stonymarsh is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.
Hospital campuses such as Romsey Community Hospital (to the south-east of Stonymarsh) grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old. On industrial estates such as Yokesford Hill Industrial Estate (2.2 miles south-east of Stonymarsh), saw-cut floor joints, loading bay slabs and yard joints take the heaviest traffic.

Common problems we fix in Stonymarsh
Some joints were never sealed with the right product. A stiff or general-purpose sealant across a joint with large movement won’t cope. BS EN ISO 11600 classifies building sealants by movement capability, and specifications often refer to it.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
Another example is Belbins Business Park, 2.7 miles south-east of Stonymarsh, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers.

Questions about Stonymarsh
Would you work within a site like Romsey Community Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is Stonymarsh too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
What guarantee do you give on joint sealing?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails inside the 12 months, let us know.
What sealant do you use in movement joints?
Whatever suits the joint and the specification. The quote states the sealant and its movement class.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
What hours do you work?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Why do our movement joints keep failing?
Most often the movement is too much for the product or the joint width. We review the joint design as well as the sealant before pricing, rather than replacing like for like.
