Honest limits
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer.

About our expansion joint sealing in Theydon Bois
We cover the full range of movement joints: vertical joints in brick and block facades, joints between precast or cladding panels, concrete slab and deck joints, ramps, podiums and internal floors. The product depends on the movement, the weather and anything that runs over it and we name it in the quote. Site teams most often ask us about debris jammed in movement joints and car park joints leaking onto vehicles below, across blockwork control joints, cladding panel joints and precast concrete panel joints. Whoever orders the work in Theydon Bois, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Small units near places like Theydon Bois are often converted farm buildings with new concrete floors. Saw-cut and construction joints in those floors need the right filler or sealant for the forklifts and trolleys that use them.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

After the work
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
Every joint we seal is backed by a 12-month guarantee on workmanship. Record which product went into which joints in the building file, so the next reseal starts with the facts.
Unsupported floor joint edges spall under forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Damaged edges make the floor rough and wear wheels faster and the broken length grows with every pass. Keeping the filler or sealant sound protects the floor.
What sets the cost
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Access and working height
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The product specified
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
What to include in your enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The postcode of the building
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work

Questions about Theydon Bois
Is Theydon Bois too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Is Hobbs Cross Business Centre, near Theydon Bois, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Theydon Bois and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Hobbs Cross Business Centre included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
What if the joint edges are damaged?
A bond is only as strong as the material behind it, so broken or crumbling edges have to be repaired first. We flag it at the quote stage where we can see it.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
What happens if it’s left?
A like-for-like reseal of a joint that keeps splitting rarely lasts. A higher movement class, or a design change by the engineer, may be needed. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

Internal floor movement joints
Forklift and pallet-truck wheels break unsupported joint edges. The right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement protects them.
Podium joints
Podiums take foot traffic, planters and weather. We choose a product that copes with feet, wheels and weather.
