Expansion joint sealing in Axmansford
For movement joints in Axmansford, photographs and approximate lengths are the best start. We’ll come and look where photographs don’t show enough. To discuss the joints first, call 01277 525 020 or email us. The enquiries we see most involve debris jammed in movement joints and damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed, on car park decks and ramps, podiums and floor movement joints and blockwork control joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Axmansford it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Axmansford have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

FAQs: Axmansford
Can you work on a hospital site such as Park Prewett Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can you work at a site such as Scion Business Park, by Axmansford?
Yes, sites like Scion Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Axmansford. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
What do you charge?
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 will price it properly.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.

What causes movement joint sealant to fail?
The common causes are poor preparation, three-sided adhesion, the wrong movement class and weathering. Working out the cause comes first, because the fix differs.
Joints that move: notes for Axmansford
The 3 miles around Axmansford take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment. Axmansford is about 48 miles from central London. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital.
On a site such as Scion Business Park, 1.2 miles to the north of Axmansford, the movement joints are in car park slabs, paving and building elevations. Schools like The Hurst School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly. For an estate such as Park Prewett Hospital, which lies south-east of Axmansford, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.

On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Rural sites near Axmansford may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- 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.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Send your site hours and access windows

When to bring in a specialist
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.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.

What happens if it’s left?
Sealing over a failed movement joint is a common shortcut. A bead laid on top of the failed one neither grips nor flexes properly and soon lets go. We cut out the old seal and prepare the faces every time. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Axmansford. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
A quote for movement joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Ask us for a fixed quote.

- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
