Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
Grit is the slow enemy of a joint seal. Grit trodden or driven into the joint works at the surface until it tears, especially on car park decks and warehouse floors. Regular sweeping keeps joint lines clear.
Rain gets into walls through torn brick and block movement joints. It can surface inside as damp a long way from the joint by which time the joint has been open for a while. Catching it early keeps the water outside.
About our expansion joint sealing in Wadwick
Every structure moves a little, all the time: they expand in the heat, shrink as they dry, and shift under load. Movement joints are where that movement is absorbed. We seal and reseal movement joints in walls, panels, decks and floors for buildings in Wadwick. If you are dealing with spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks and layers of sealant in a movement joint, we can put it right. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Wadwick it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Wadwick have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Cost factors for movement joints
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The total length or number of joints
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The product your specification calls for
- The type of building and who uses it
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
When to call us in Wadwick
Sun, rain and frost age external movement joints. UV hardens the surface, and the sealant loses its ability to stretch and opens at the next temperature swing.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
In and around Wadwick, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- How the existing material will be dealt with
Wadwick: questions and answers
What documents will you need to give us for a job in Wadwick?
We will confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Is Wadwick too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
What hours do you work?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
Where floor joints take the most wear near Wadwick
Wadwick is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints. Wadwick is about 58 miles from central London. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors.
Around Wadwick, open joints collect water and debris, and the arrises are the next to go.

What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
