Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
Grit is the slow enemy of a joint seal. Grit trodden or driven into the joint works at the surface until it tears. A routine sweep is the simplest protection.
Rain gets into walls through torn brick and block movement joints. The first sign is often a damp patch indoors by which time the joint has been open for a while. Catching it early keeps the water outside.

Doing it in-house
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
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.
Common problems we fix in Bovingdon Green
Some joints were never sealed with the right product. A stiff or general-purpose sealant across a joint with large movement won’t cope. Movement capability is set out in BS EN ISO 11600, and specifications often refer to it.
Look out for the following:
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
- Chipped joint edges on forklift routes
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
- New sealant over old, now failing
Across sites such as Crest Distribution Park, 2.7 miles to the north-east of Bovingdon Green, floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working.

Why act early in Bovingdon Green
Resealing is typically the answer, not replacing the element. Where the edges are sound, cutting out and resealing is enough. We will flag where edges need repair before sealing. Converted and older buildings near places like Bovingdon Green tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

Our process
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Rural sites near Bovingdon Green may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- We assess the joints on site or from photos, noting widths and how each has failed.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
Quotes
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

Car park decks and ramps
Failed deck joints often show as leaks on the level below. The old seal comes out, the edges are prepared and the joint resealed flagging broken edges along the way.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Brick and block edges need careful preparation. We clean them back to sound material and prime where the manufacturer specifies, then seal and tool the joint.
FAQs: Bovingdon Green
Do you cover business parks and estates near Bovingdon Green, such as Globe Business Park?
Yes. We cover Bovingdon Green and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Globe Business Park. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is Bovingdon Green too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Why has the sealant in our expansion joints split?
The way it has failed normally tells us why: tearing down the centre means too much movement, and lifting off one side means poor adhesion. Sometimes the edge material itself has failed.
What’s the difference between an expansion joint and a movement joint?
It’s a deliberate gap that lets the structure move without cracking. Expansion joint is a name often used for the same thing and both need a flexible seal.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
How do we ask for a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
