Workmanship is backed by our 12-month guarantee. If you have car park joints leaking onto vehicles below and hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades, we can help. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Wimbish Green, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Wimbish Green have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.

Warehouse floors and decks around Wimbish Green
At about 39 miles from central London, Wimbish Green is within reach of the capital. The roads out of London are lined with trade parks and distribution sheds; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.
For a school such as Wimbish Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays. For an estate such as Saffron Walden Community Hospital, 3.7 miles to the north-west of Wimbish Green, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.

Wimbish Green: questions and answers
Is a hospital such as Saffron Walden Community Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Will our site in Wimbish Green have to close for joint sealing?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
What happens if it rains on the day?
Sealing onto a damp surface leads to adhesion failure, so external work waits for suitable conditions. We agree a revised date with you.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Should maintenance staff do it?
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, which is what makes a joint last.
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.
How a job runs
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Jobs in and around smaller places like Wimbish Green are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- A fixed quote follows, naming the sealant and its movement class.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Move anything stored against the joints

Cost factors for movement joints
Before we quote, we look at:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Phasing around occupants
- Removal of failed or old sealant
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
Sending details for a quote
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Any specification or named product
- The site address and 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 will put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
What happens if it’s left?
Patching the worst lengths of a joint can make sense short term. The remaining sealant is often close to failing too. We can price a patch and a full reseal side by side. Halls, stores and units around places like Wimbish Green may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

What the job involves on each surface
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast panels often have surface residues that sealant won’t bond to. Proper cleaning and primer where specified give a sound bond and check the edges for soundness as we go.
Cladding panel joints
We confirm what access is in place before pricing. Photos taken near the joints help us price accurately, or we visit if they don’t show enough.
