Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
When it isn’t the sealant
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.

Questions about Westwell Leacon
Is Westwell Leacon too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you work on a hospital site such as William Harvey Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Is any job too small?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
What if the joint edges are damaged?
Broken arrises have to be put right before resealing and we’ll flag every length affected. Sealing over them leads to early failure.
Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
Keep wheels, feet and water off new joints until the sealant has cured. The time varies with product, conditions and joint depth and we’ll tell you when each bay or area can reopen. Keeping the area coned off until then avoids tyre marks and damage.
A failed deck joint lets water straight through to the level below. That water often carries de-icing salts with it, which is bad news for the concrete and the people parking below. Sealing the joint promptly stops it at source.
When to bring in a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
On site: what to expect
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself usually taking a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases. For work around Westwell Leacon, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- A fixed quote follows, naming the sealant and its movement class.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- Closed-cell backing rod is set to depth, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints.
- Where the maker calls for primer, it’s applied first, then the bead goes in and is tooled to a concave finish.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Other services in Westwell Leacon
Why act early in Westwell Leacon
Leaving a failed movement joint rarely stays a small problem. Water and debris get in, the joint jams and the edges spall. Acting at the first split keeps the cost down. For buildings around smaller places like Westwell Leacon, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
