Is movement joint sealing guaranteed?

What happens if it’s left?
Doing joint resealing alongside other planned works can save on access. But joints already letting water in shouldn’t wait for a programme. We can split the scope into urgent and planned. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Why appoint us
- Fixed quotes based on photographs, drawings or a visit

Should maintenance staff do it?
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.

Common problems we fix in West Tofts
When the movement exceeds the sealant’s capability, the bead tears. Cohesive failure, a split through the centre, typically means the joint or product wasn’t right for the movement. Resealing like for like often fails the same way.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
- New sealant over old, now failing
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
For floors and slabs around West Tofts, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint.

What affects the price in West Tofts
We price every job individually. The main factors are:

- The total length or number of joints
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Any access equipment needed
Pricing movement joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you’re working to. Call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- The product your specification calls for
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- What the building is and how it’s used
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
Every joint we seal is backed by a 12-month guarantee on workmanship. Record which product went into which joints in the building file.
Rain gets into walls through torn brick and block movement joints. The first sign is often a damp patch indoors. Resealing promptly prevents internal damage.
