Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Stubbles
Internal floor joints take trolleys, pallet trucks and forklifts. Unsupported edges break up under wheels. We will tell you if the edges need repairing before sealing. We work on blockwork control joints, car park decks and ramps and brickwork movement joints, and what we’re called in for most is layers of sealant in a movement joint and expansion joints split through the centre of the bead. For commercial sealant work in Stubbles, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Around smaller places such as Stubbles, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Note which joints were done, when, and with what
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
Floor joints on main traffic routes need watching more closely than the rest. Avoid standing heavy loads or racking legs on the joints and flag chipped arrises before they spread.
An open joint fills with grit, and a joint full of grit can’t close. The arrises crack and break away under the load, turning a sealant job into a repair job. Keeping the seal sound avoids all of that.
How a job runs
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work normally takes a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases. Rural sites near Stubbles may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- 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.

Advice
Why deal with it now?
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. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Stubbles. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

Your questions answered
Will our site in Stubbles have to close for joint sealing?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
What documents will you need to give us for a job in Stubbles?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Can you seal joints in cold or wet weather?
Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range. Frost, rain and condensation on steel or concrete can hold up external work, so we plan with the forecast in mind.
What sealant do you use in movement joints?
We choose a sealant with a movement capability that suits the joint as set out in BS EN ISO 11600. Where two different materials meet, a hybrid sealant can be the better choice.
Is movement joint sealing guaranteed?
A 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship, and we’re fully insured for public liability. Regular sweeping and inspection help the joints last.
How much does the work cost?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
What if the joint edges are damaged?
Sealant needs sound faces to bond to, so broken or crumbling edges have to be repaired first. We flag it at the quote stage where we can see it.
Traffic, movement and joints around Stubbles
At about 46 miles from central London, Stubbles is within reach of the capital. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift. Stubbles sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East.

For floors and slabs around Stubbles, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint. Once a joint near Stubbles opens up, grit and water get in and the edges start to break; we will tell you if the edges need repairing first.

Surface by surface
Car park decks and ramps
Water coming through deck joints is the usual first sign. We strip the old seal, prepare the edges and seal again.
Joints between different materials
Junctions between brick and render, or concrete and cladding, move independently. We choose a sealant that grips both faces priming where the maker calls for it.
