About our expansion joint sealing in Swan Street
For movement joints in Swan Street, photos and approximate lengths are the best start. Send them through our quote form, and we will arrange a site visit if needed. To discuss the joints first, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. We work on podiums and floor movement joints, brickwork movement joints and blockwork control joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed and new sealant over old, now failing. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Swan Street is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Jobs around smaller places like Swan Street are planned so the whole job is done in one visit, with the right materials on hand. 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. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll come back to it.

Cost factors for movement joints
To price the job, we consider:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How much existing material needs removing
- Any access equipment needed
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
What to include in your enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Any specification or named product
- The site address and postcode
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. To take the first step, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Our process
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, and the work typically takes a few hours to several weeks, depending on how many metres of joint there are and how much old sealant or filler needs removing. Jobs in and around smaller places like Swan Street are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Let us know about inductions and permits
Request a quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

Why deal with it now?
Patching the worst lengths of a joint can make sense short term. The remaining sealant is often close to failing too. Where it helps, we quote both options. Halls, stores and units around places like Swan Street may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.
What you get with us
- CHAS accredited
- Failed material removed, not covered up

Questions about Swan Street
Can you work on a hospital site such as Halstead Hospital?

Can you quote from photos?

Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Is Swan Street in your area?
Yes. Swan Street falls within our area, and the simplest way to start is to call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Can you seal car park deck joints?
Yes. These joints take wheels, salt and water, so product choice matters and broken edges are flagged before sealing.
Can you seal joints in cold or wet weather?
Outside work depends on conditions: rain, frost and condensation all stop sealant bonding. Indoor joints can typically carry on regardless.
Looking after the joints
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
Fresh joint sealant needs its full cure time before it takes traffic or water. How long that takes depends on the product, the temperature and the depth of the joint, and we confirm it for each area before we leave. Barriers left in place until then protect the finish.
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 and the reseal becomes an edge repair as well. A sound seal keeps the joint working.
