Expansion joint sealing in Egerton Forstal, done properly
Brickwork and blockwork walls have vertical movement joints at intervals that most people only notice when the sealant has gone. 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. We work on podiums and floor movement joints, blockwork control joints and cladding panel joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are debris jammed in movement joints and car park joints leaking onto vehicles below. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Egerton Forstal is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Egerton Forstal have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

What we can’t put right
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Car park decks and ramps
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Blockwork control joints
What happens if it’s left?
On a car park, resealing joints in phases keeps the deck open. Work can be planned so parts of the deck stay open. Tell us what has to stay open and we’ll plan around it. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Egerton Forstal, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Egerton Forstal can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Should maintenance staff do it?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Egerton Forstal
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.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
- New sealant over old, now failing
For floors and slabs around Egerton Forstal, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint.

Questions we’re asked in Egerton Forstal
Is Egerton Forstal too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
What paperwork can you provide for a job in Egerton Forstal?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Are expansion joints and movement joints the same thing?
The terms overlap a great deal. Both let materials grow and shrink with temperature, moisture and load.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
