Expansion joint sealing in Grafty Green
Our movement joint work takes in walls, panels, decks and floors: vertical joints in brick and block facades, joints between precast or cladding panels, concrete slab and deck joints, ramps, podiums and internal floors. The product depends on the movement, the weather and anything that runs over it. The enquiries we see most involve torn sealant in brick or block movement joints and arrises breaking up along floor joints, on car park decks and ramps, blockwork control joints and podiums and floor movement joints.

We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.

Surface by surface
Podium joints
On podiums, the joint can belong to a larger waterproofing detail. Where the specification calls for sealant, we reseal and flag it if the membrane looks like the source.
Car park decks and ramps
Car park joints are some of the hardest-working joints in any building. We use a sealant made for wheel loads and the expected movement.
Doing it in-house
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.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.

External joints still wait for dry conditions, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.

Common problems we fix in Grafty Green
Sometimes the sealant holds but the substrate breaks away. If the edge of the joint is friable, the bond fails with it, so we tell you if the edges need repairing first.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
- Leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below
Schools like Platts Heath Primary School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.

Grafty Green: questions and answers
Is Grafty Green off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do we have to stop operations in Grafty Green 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.
How long will the joint resealing take?
It typically takes a short visit for a handful of joints, or several days or more for a car park deck or long runs of facade joints. Timings are set out in the quote, including any phasing.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Usually, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
Which product is best for expansion joints?
The right product depends on the joint. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many facade joints, while polyurethane is common in trafficked floor and deck joints, and the specification has the final say.
What if the joint edges are damaged?
Sealant needs sound faces to bond to, so we’ll tell you if the edges need repairing before sealing. Where it’s visible beforehand, we’ll say so when we quote.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Honest limits
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. For work around Grafty Green, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces, 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.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
