Cost factors for movement joints
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How much there is to seal
- Any access equipment needed
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- The product specified
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
What to include in your enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- The product your specification calls for
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
About our expansion joint sealing in Stubb's Cross
Our movement joint work takes in walls, panels, decks and floors: brickwork and blockwork joints, precast and cladding panel joints, concrete joints, car park decks and ramps, podiums and floor movement joints. Every one calls for a sealant picked for its movement, exposure and traffic, and we will confirm the choice in the quote. We work on blockwork control joints, cladding panel joints and precast concrete panel joints, and what we are called in for most is sealant pulling off the joint face and hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Stubb's Cross, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Jobs around smaller places like Stubb's Cross are planned so the whole job is done in one visit. Tell us the joint widths if you can, and what drives or walks over them.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Doing it in-house
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Your questions answered
Is Stubb's Cross too far out for you?
No. Places such as Stubb's Cross 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.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like William Harvey Hospital, something you do?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
How the job changes by surface
Joints between different materials
Hybrid or MS polymer sealants bond to many substrates. The choice depends on the substrates and how much the joint moves, and confirm it in the quote.
Internal floor movement joints
Wheeled traffic chips floor joint edges that aren’t supported. We match the product to the traffic and the movement flagging broken arrises before sealing.
Warehouse floors and decks around Stubb's Cross
Stubb's Cross 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 where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in. Less than 3 miles from Stubb's Cross there are at least three named estates and business parks. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment.
At places like Gallagher Retail Park, which lies north-east of Stubb's Cross, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on. If you manage units on an estate such as Ellingham Industrial Estate, 1.4 miles north-east of Stubb's Cross, the floor joints under forklifts and pallet trucks and the slab joints in the yard are the ones to watch. Hospital campuses such as William Harvey Hospital (3.7 miles north-east of Stubb's Cross) grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.

What we can’t put right
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly.

- We start with photographs, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take.
- Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
