Surface by surface
Concrete and precast panel joints
Joints between precast panels open and close with temperature and loading. We use a sealant classed for the movement, laid over backing to depth.
Car park decks and ramps
Water coming through deck joints is the usual first sign. We strip the old seal, prepare the edges and seal again.
About our expansion joint sealing in Aspley Heath
The seal is what lets a movement joint do its job. When the sealant splits or lets go, the gap fills with dirt and water; the joint jams, its edges take the load and the arrises spall. Resealing at the first signs of failure is far cheaper than repairing the material either side. If you are dealing with water getting into the wall through a failed joint and layers of sealant in a movement joint, we can put it right, on car park decks and ramps, podiums and floor movement joints and cladding panel joints alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Aspley Heath, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In and around smaller places like Aspley Heath, 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.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application.

Leave it or put it right?
Sealing over a failed movement joint is a common shortcut. A bead laid on top of the failed one neither grips nor flexes properly, so it fails quickly. We cut out the old seal and prepare the faces every time. Halls, stores and units around places like Aspley Heath may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

When to call us in Aspley Heath
With no backing rod or bond-breaker in place, sealant grips the base of the joint too. Sealant fixed to the base and sides can’t flex, so it tears so backing is set before sealing.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
- Joints packed with grit and debris
Schools such as Swallowfield Lower School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Proof of insurance
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
Should maintenance staff do it?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
