What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

About our expansion joint sealing in Tisman's Common
If you need expansion joint sealing in Tisman's Common, start with photographs and joint lengths. Send them through our quote form, and we’ll arrange a site visit if needed. To discuss the joints first, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. If you have water getting into the wall through a failed joint and arrises breaking up along floor joints, we can put it right. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Tisman's Common is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around smaller places such as Tisman's Common, 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.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

What happens if it’s left?
Doing joint resealing alongside other planned works can save on access. But joints already letting water in shouldn’t wait for a programme because damage continues. We can split the scope into urgent and planned. Converted and older buildings near places like Tisman's Common tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.

On site: what to expect
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Rural sites near Tisman's Common may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Point out any areas we must not close

Advice
Questions we’re asked in Tisman's Common
Is Tisman's Common too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Must our site in Tisman's Common stop work while the joints are done?
Usually 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.
Does the weather affect joint sealing?
Weather matters for any external joint. Internal floor joints are far less affected.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.

How the quote is worked out
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Joint width, depth and condition
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Sending details for a quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- What the building is and how it’s used
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Looking after the joints
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
In warehouses, forklift and pallet-truck routes take the most wear. Keep racking feet and heavy point loads off joint lines and flag chipped arrises before they spread.
Once debris packs a failed joint, the structure has nowhere to expand. The arrises crack and break away under the load. Keeping the seal sound avoids all of that.
What we’re called out for in Tisman's Common
Sun, rain and frost age external movement joints. In time the bead chalks, stiffens and cracks, so it can’t follow the movement any more.
Look out for the following:
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
On industrial estates such as The Old Brickworks Industrial Estate (1 mile north-east of Tisman's Common), saw-cut floor joints, loading bay slabs and yard joints take the heaviest traffic.
Questions to ask before you book
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
