About our expansion joint sealing in Beansheaf Farm
For movement joints in Beansheaf Farm, photographs and approximate lengths are the best start. Send them through our quote form, and we’ll arrange a site visit if needed. You can also call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over to talk the joints through. Site teams most often ask us about water dripping through deck or ramp joints and damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed, across cladding panel joints, brickwork movement joints and podiums and floor movement joints. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Beansheaf Farm, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around Beansheaf Farm, most floor and movement joint jobs are single buildings or yards. That way the right materials come on the day and the job is done in one visit where possible.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Questions about Beansheaf Farm
Do you cover business parks and estates near Beansheaf Farm, such as Arlington Business Park?
Yes. Our area takes in Beansheaf Farm and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Arlington Business Park included. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Is a hospital such as Prospect Park Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you guarantee expansion joint work?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. Tell us straight away if a joint we sealed gives trouble in that time.
What if the joint edges are damaged?
Spalled edges need repairing before a new seal will last, and we will point out where that’s the case. Sealing over them leads to early failure.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
What we’re called out for in Beansheaf Farm
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.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
- Debris jammed in movement joints
Centres like Meadway Shopping Centre, 1.3 miles north-east of Beansheaf Farm, have mall floors and service decks whose joints carry steady traffic.
Questions to ask before you book
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Brickwork movement joints
Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete and precast panel joints
Joints between precast panels open and close with temperature and loading. The sealant needs the right movement capability and a controlled depth.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Vertical movement joints in brick and block walls let the masonry grow and shrink. They take a low-modulus sealant with a movement class to suit laid over backing rod at the correct depth.
