Expansion joint sealing in College Town, done properly
Long runs of brick or block have movement joints built in, and they’re easy to miss until the sealant fails. Failed sealant here lets rain into the wall and can leave the joint full of debris. The old seal comes out, backing goes in and a sealant with the right movement class is applied with primer where the maker calls for it. The enquiries we see most involve hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades and spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks, across car park decks and ramps, podiums and floor movement joints and brickwork movement joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in College Town first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around College Town, 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.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

When to bring in a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Surface by surface
Cladding panel joints
Metal and composite panels shift considerably as temperatures change. A sealant with the right movement class is chosen, and we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
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.
Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. Keep the handover details, product and date with your O&M records, so the next reseal starts with the facts.
On a multi-storey car park, a failed joint normally shows up as a leak onto the deck underneath. Salty water dripping through stains soffits and lands on parked vehicles and it can affect the structure over time. Sealing the joint promptly stops it at source.
