From enquiry to sign-off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. If others near Broad Oak need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.

Advice
Expansion joint sealing in Broad Oak
A movement joint only works while its seal does. Once it fails, water, grit and debris get in; the joint jams, its edges take the load and the arrises spall. Dealt with early, it stays a sealant job rather than a concrete or masonry repair. We work on car park decks and ramps, cladding panel joints and brickwork movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are brittle, chalky sealant on external joints and expansion joints split through the centre of the bead. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Broad Oak is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In and around smaller places like Broad Oak, 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.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

After the work
For the best life from the joints:
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
- Check joints after long freezing spells
On car parks, winter clearance can damage deck joint sealant. Raising blades over joints where possible protects the seal and a look at the joints after winter catches any damage.
A failed deck joint lets water straight through to the level below. Salty water dripping through stains soffits and lands on parked vehicles. Sealing the joint promptly stops it at source.

Honest limits
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Blockwork control joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Precast concrete panel joints
General trades versus a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
When to call us in Broad Oak
Sealant peeling cleanly off one side is an adhesion failure. Dusty, damp or contaminated faces, a missing primer and three-sided adhesion are the usual causes and it often shows on rushed work.
Look out for the following:
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
- Debris jammed in movement joints
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
In a school such as Broad Oak Community Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
What your quote should include
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- How joint depth will be controlled
