Metal and composite panels shift considerably as temperatures change. The joints need a low-modulus sealant with enough movement capability.

Well End: questions and answers
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Barnet Hospital, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Does your area include sites such as Borehamwood Industrial Park, near Well End?
Yes, sites like Borehamwood Industrial Park are within our area, along with the rest of Well End. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
What hours do you work?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Why do our movement joints keep failing?
Most often the movement is too much for the product or the joint width. We review the joint design as well as the sealant before pricing so the same failure isn’t repeated.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
From enquiry to sign-off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Jobs in and around smaller places like Well End are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We assess the joints on site or from photos, noting widths and how each has failed.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- 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
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Arrange parking or a loading space

When to call us in Well End
When a bead pulls away from one face, it has lost adhesion. Dusty, damp or contaminated faces, a missing primer and three-sided adhesion are the usual causes.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
- Chipped joint edges on forklift routes
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
Retail centres such as Borehamwood Shopping Park (to the south-west of Well End) have floors, service yards and car parks with joints under constant traffic.
Questions to ask before you book
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Who will actually carry out the work
Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
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’ll tell you when each bay or area can reopen. Keeping the area coned off until then avoids tyre marks and damage.
On a multi-storey car park, a failed joint usually shows up as a leak onto the deck underneath. That water often carries de-icing salts with it and it can affect the structure over time. Resealing early limits the damage.
