Advice
Expansion joint sealing in West Cliffe, done properly
The seal is what lets a movement joint do its job. When the sealant splits or lets go, the gap fills with dirt and water. Resealing at the first signs of failure is far cheaper than repairing the material either side. Most enquiries involve water getting into the wall through a failed joint and leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below, on podiums and floor movement joints, brickwork movement joints and precast concrete panel joints. Most enquiries from West Cliffe start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around smaller places such as West Cliffe, 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.

Doing it in-house
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.

Questions about West Cliffe
Would you work within a site like Royal Victoria Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Will you take on work at estates like White Cliffs Business Park, close to West Cliffe?
Yes. Our area takes in West Cliffe and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as White Cliffs Business Park included. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
In the majority of cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
Does the weather affect joint sealing?
Sealing onto a damp surface leads to adhesion failure. The work is simply moved to the next suitable day.
Is movement joint sealing guaranteed?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. Tell us straight away if a joint we sealed gives trouble in that time.
Does the weather affect the work?
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. Internal work is rarely affected.
What sealant do you use in movement joints?
Whatever suits the joint and the specification. The quote states the sealant and its movement class, so you know what’s going in.

What else we do in West Cliffe
Leave it or put it right?
A failed joint seal doesn’t mean the slab, panel or wall needs replacing. If the material either side is sound, a properly prepared reseal restores the joint. If the edges have broken up, we will tell you they need repairing first. Older rural buildings around West Cliffe move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

How the job changes by surface
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, and tell you if edges need repairing first.
Cladding panel joints
Access to cladding joints is agreed before the price is fixed. Photos taken near the joints help us price accurately or a site visit fills the gaps.
