After the work
After handover, these steps help:
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
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. Barriers left in place until then protect the finish.
A failed deck joint lets water straight through to the level below. Salty water dripping through stains soffits and lands on parked vehicles. Resealing early limits the damage.
About our expansion joint sealing in West Hoathly
Floor movement joints in warehouses, retail and public buildings carry wheeled traffic. Without a sound filler, joint edges chip and spall under load, so the right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement matters. We will tell you if the edges need repairing before sealing. If you are dealing with arrises breaking up along floor joints and brittle, chalky sealant on external joints, we can help, on car park decks and ramps, podiums and floor movement joints and brickwork movement joints alike. Most enquiries from West Hoathly start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
In and around smaller places like West Hoathly, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Honest limits
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal

Masonry faces are often porous, dusty or crumbly. Faces are prepared and primed wherever the sealant maker calls for it.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.

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. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
