Our applicators are CSCS-carded, we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and we carry five million pounds of public liability insurance. Workmanship is backed by our 12-month guarantee.

In and around smaller places like Woodham Mortimer, 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.

What sealant work can’t fix
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What the job involves on each surface
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Long brick and block elevations have movement joints at intervals. They take a low-modulus sealant with a movement class to suit.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Concrete edges can be weak or carry release agents that stop adhesion. We prepare the faces thoroughly and prime where the maker calls for it.
Your questions answered
Is Woodham Mortimer too far out for you?
No. Places such as Woodham Mortimer are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you work at a site such as Wycke Hill Business Park, by Woodham Mortimer?
Yes. Our area takes in Woodham Mortimer and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Wycke Hill Business Park included. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
What sealant do you use in movement joints?
It depends on the movement, exposure and traffic. Facades often take a low-modulus silicone; floors and decks normally need a polyurethane unless the specification names something else.
What will the job cost?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote and we’ll price it properly.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Jobs in and around smaller places like Woodham Mortimer are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability, and flag anything that needs an engineer.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
Ask for a quote
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us if you’d rather talk the job through.
Advice
Do you need expansion joint sealing in Woodham Mortimer?
Sometimes the sealant holds but the substrate breaks away. If the edge of the joint is friable, the bond fails with it, so we tell you if the edges need repairing first.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Joints packed with grit and debris
- New sealant over old, now failing
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
Office parks like Wycke Hill Business Park (2 miles east of Woodham Mortimer) have decks, ramps and clad elevations whose joints take movement every day.
Before you book anyone
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?

We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Woodham Mortimer can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Essex.
