Looking after the joints
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
Movement joints belong on the planned maintenance inspection list. Early splits and edges starting to lift show up on a routine check, when they’re still cheap to deal with. If anything looks wrong, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with photos.
External wall joints that fail let rain into the masonry and cavity. It can surface inside as damp a long way from the joint. Catching it early keeps the water outside.

How a job runs
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Jobs in and around smaller places like Upper Froyle are normally 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.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

When it isn’t the sealant
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure

Where floor joints take the most wear near Upper Froyle
Upper Froyle lies roughly 42 miles out from central London. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift. At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Upper Froyle. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment.
Across sites such as Bentley Business Park (2.1 miles north-east of Upper Froyle), floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working. Sites like Alton Community Hospital, 4 miles to the south-west of Upper Froyle, carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints. If you manage units on an estate such as Bentley Industrial Centre, 2 miles north-east of Upper Froyle, the floor joints under forklifts and pallet trucks and the slab joints in the yard are the ones to watch.

Your questions answered
Will you take on work at estates like Bentley Industrial Centre, close to Upper Froyle?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Upper Froyle, Bentley Industrial Centre among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is Upper Froyle too far out for you?
Not at all. Upper Froyle is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
What guarantee do you give on joint sealing?
The 12-month guarantee applies to the workmanship. If a joint we sealed fails inside the 12 months, let us know.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
What causes movement joint sealant to fail?
It depends on how the sealant has let go: a split through the middle points to over-stretching, while peeling from one face points to preparation or primer. Sometimes the edge material itself has failed.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
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 flagging broken arrises before sealing.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Concrete edges can be weak or carry release agents that stop adhesion. We prepare the faces thoroughly and prime where the maker calls for it.
Cost factors for movement joints
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- The total length or number of joints
- The product specified
- Working within restricted access windows
- Joint width, depth and condition
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Details that help us quote
However big the job, the same details help:
- Any specification or named product
- The postcode of the building
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Any dates the work must fit around
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
