About our expansion joint sealing in Abbotts Barton
We have been sealing expansion and movement joints for over 20 years, for main contractors, FMs, managing agents and building owners. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and we carry five million pounds of public liability insurance. Each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship. The enquiries we see most involve layers of sealant in a movement joint and damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed, across car park decks and ramps, blockwork control joints and cladding panel joints. Most enquiries from Abbotts Barton start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Small units near places like Abbotts Barton are often converted farm buildings with new concrete floors. Joints in those slabs need a product suited to whatever runs over them, from pallet trucks to foot traffic.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Honest limits
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Common problems we fix in Abbotts Barton
The edges of the material can fail rather than the sealant. If the edge of the joint is friable, the bond fails with it, so we tell you if the edges need repairing first.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- New sealant over old, now failing
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
At places like Winnall Farm Industrial Estate, 0.6 miles to the south-east of Abbotts Barton, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.
Questions to ask before you book
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
Owners, agents and contractors
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
From enquiry to sign-off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Work in places the size of Abbotts Barton is planned as a single visit where we can. Clear photographs and measurements help us bring the right products.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take.
- 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.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.

- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

How the job changes by surface
Internal floor movement joints
Forklift and pallet-truck wheels break unsupported joint edges. The right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement protects them.
Joints between different materials
Different materials meeting at a joint rarely move in step. We choose a sealant that grips both faces, with primer where specified.
Warehouse floors and decks around Abbotts Barton
Rainfall across the South East, Abbotts Barton included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in. At about 60 miles from central London, Abbotts Barton is within reach of the capital. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day.
For a centre such as Moorside Retail Park (0.6 miles east of Abbotts Barton), the service yard and car park joints usually need attention first.

How the quote is worked out
These are the things that shape the price:
- Access and working height
- How much existing material needs removing
- Working within restricted access windows
- How much there is to seal
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
