When it isn’t the sealant
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Expansion joint sealing in Sutton Scotney
Long runs of brick or block have movement joints built in that most people only notice when the sealant has gone. Failed sealant here lets rain into the wall and can leave the joint full of debris. The old seal is cut away, backing rod goes in at depth, and a low-modulus masonry sealant is gunned and tooled with primer where the maker calls for it. If you have debris jammed in movement joints and rain penetration at brick or block movement joints, we can help. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Sutton Scotney first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In and around smaller places like Sutton Scotney, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. 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: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

What else we do in Sutton Scotney
What we are called out for in Sutton Scotney
Some joints were never sealed with the right product. Products not classed for the movement fail early. BS EN ISO 11600 classifies building sealants by movement capability, and specifications often refer to it.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
- Joints packed with grit and debris
A joint near Sutton Scotney that has lost its sealant lets in water and grit, and the edges suffer next.
Questions to ask before you book

Common questions from Sutton Scotney clients
Is a smaller place like Sutton Scotney outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
What site paperwork comes with a job in Sutton Scotney?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
What timescale should we allow for resealing expansion joints?
Allow a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases. We confirm the timescale with the quote.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
In many cases, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Owners, agents and contractors
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding panel joints
Cladding panels move more than masonry as they heat and cool. A sealant with the right movement class is chosen.
Joints between different materials
Junctions between brick and render, or concrete and cladding, move independently. The product must bond to both substrates and cope with the movement priming where the maker calls for it.
Why deal with it now?
Sealing over a failed movement joint is a common shortcut. A bead over the old seal can’t bond or flex and soon lets go. Full removal and preparation is in every quote. Older rural buildings around Sutton Scotney move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
