Questions we’re asked in Sutton Abinger
Is Sutton Abinger off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Must our site in Sutton Abinger stop work while the joints are done?
Normally not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we’ll plan from there.
Can you work on car park ramps and decks?
Yes. We use a sealant designed for wheel loads and the expected movement.
How do we ask for a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Why do our movement joints keep failing?
It depends on how the sealant has let go: tearing down the centre means too much movement, and lifting off one side means poor adhesion. Sometimes the edge material itself has failed.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
About our expansion joint sealing in Sutton Abinger
Joints in car park decks and ramps are among the hardest-working in any building. Wheel loads, grit and de-icing salts attack the seal and the concrete either side, so failed seals soon lead to leaks onto the level below and broken edges. We reseal deck and ramp joints with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement and the work can be phased so parts of the car park stay open. If you are dealing with new sealant over old, now failing and movement joints with split or torn sealant, we can help, on podiums and floor movement joints, precast concrete panel joints and cladding panel joints alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Sutton Abinger, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Sutton Abinger have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Why act early in Sutton Abinger
Some quotes just add sealant over the old bead. A bead over the old seal can’t bond or flex, so it fails quickly. Full removal and preparation is in every quote. For buildings around smaller places like Sutton Abinger, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

Do you need expansion joint sealing in Sutton Abinger?
Sealant peeling cleanly off one side is an adhesion failure. Poor preparation, a skipped primer, or sealant bonded to the back of the joint are typical reasons and it often shows on rushed work.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
For a school such as Belmont Prep School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.
What your quote should include
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Who will actually carry out the work
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?

Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding panel joints
Cladding panels move more than masonry as they heat and cool. The joints need a low-modulus sealant with enough movement capability.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Vertical movement joints in brick and block walls let the masonry grow and shrink. They take a low-modulus sealant with a movement class to suit, with backing rod setting the depth.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Jobs in and around smaller places like Sutton Abinger are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- A fixed quote follows, naming the sealant and its movement class.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.

- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
