When it isn’t the sealant
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer.

Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in East Stratton
Joints in car park decks and ramps are among the hardest-working in any building. Wheel loads, grit and de-icing salts attack the seal and the concrete either side. A sealant suited to traffic and the expected movement goes in. If you’re dealing with arrises breaking up along floor joints and hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades, we can help, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from East Stratton start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
In and around smaller places like East Stratton, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

After the work
After handover, these steps help:
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
Grit is the slow enemy of a joint seal. Grit trodden or driven into the joint works at the surface until it tears and decks and floors suffer most. Regular sweeping keeps joint lines clear.
When one joint fails, others of the same age are rarely far behind. It pays to check every joint, not just the obvious one. We can suggest an order, worst joints first.
What we are called out for in East Stratton
When the movement exceeds the sealant’s capability, the bead tears. A joint that’s too narrow for the movement, or a product with the wrong movement class, will split through the middle. Resealing like for like often fails the same way.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Chipped joint edges on forklift routes
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
In and around East Stratton, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.

On site: what to expect
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Rural sites near East Stratton may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Getting the site ready
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Where floor joints take the most wear near East Stratton
At about 54 miles from central London, East Stratton is within reach of the capital. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London. East Stratton sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.

FAQs: East Stratton
Do we have to stop operations in East Stratton while the joints are sealed?
Normally not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
What site paperwork comes with a job in East Stratton?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Why has the sealant in our expansion joints split?
Adhesion failure, cohesive failure, edge breakdown and UV ageing account for most cases. Working out the cause comes first since each needs a different fix.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.

Why act early in East Stratton
Some quotes just add sealant over the old bead. A bead over the old seal can’t bond or flex and soon lets go. We cut out the old seal and prepare the faces every time. Around East Stratton, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Pricing movement joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.
