Common problems we fix in Bardfield End Green
Weathering wears down sealant on exposed elevations and decks. UV hardens the surface, and the sealant loses its ability to stretch and opens at the next temperature swing.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
In a school such as Thaxted Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
What your quote should include
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- What site paperwork they can supply
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
Expansion joint sealing in Bardfield End Green, done properly
Joints in car park decks and ramps are among the hardest-working in any building. Tyres load the edges, and de-icing salts and water work into any gap, so failed seals soon lead to leaks onto the level below and broken edges. A sealant suited to traffic and the expected movement goes in and the work can be phased so parts of the car park stay open. We work on car park decks and ramps, precast concrete panel joints and podiums and floor movement joints, and what we are called in for most is water dripping through deck or ramp joints and joints where the bead has lost adhesion. Most enquiries from Bardfield End Green start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Bardfield End Green have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Why act early in Bardfield End Green
A like-for-like reseal of a joint that keeps splitting rarely lasts. A higher movement class, or a design change by the engineer, may be needed, and we will say so before quoting. Converted and older buildings near places like Bardfield End Green tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.

Doing it in-house
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.

Questions about Bardfield End Green
Is a smaller place like Bardfield End Green outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Will our site in Bardfield End Green have to close for joint sealing?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
What do you charge?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
What guarantee do you give on joint sealing?
Each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship. Damage from later works or traffic loads outside the joint’s design isn’t a workmanship fault.
Can you seal joints in cold or wet weather?
Sealing onto a damp surface leads to adhesion failure, so external work waits for suitable conditions. The work is simply moved to the next suitable day.
