Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Great Chart
Few joints take as much punishment as those in a car park. Wheel loads, grit and de-icing salts attack the seal and the concrete either side; water dripping through to the deck below is often the first sign. A sealant suited to traffic and the expected movement goes in. Site teams most often ask us about joints where the bead has lost adhesion and water getting into the wall through a failed joint, across cladding panel joints, precast concrete panel joints and car park decks and ramps. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Great Chart, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Jobs around smaller places like Great Chart are planned so the whole job is done in one visit, with the right materials on hand. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we’ll take it from there.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work in Great Chart
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Brickwork movement joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Blockwork control joints
Why deal with it now?
Re-sealing with the same product that failed is often a false economy. If the joint is too narrow or the product wrong for the movement, it needs a different approach. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Great Chart. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
Why appoint us
- Colours confirmed for the specified product
- Fixed quotes based on photographs, drawings or a visit

Joints between different materials
Different materials meeting at a joint rarely move in step. We choose a sealant that grips both faces priming where the maker calls for it.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Brick and block edges need careful preparation. Faces are prepared and primed wherever the sealant maker calls for it before the bead goes in.

What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.

Floors, slabs and movement joints in Great Chart
Central London is about 47 miles from Great Chart. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day. Rainfall across the South East, Great Chart included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.
In a school such as Great Chart Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. At places like Fairwood Industrial Park, 1.1 miles to the east of Great Chart, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on. Hospitals like William Harvey Hospital, 3.5 miles east of Great Chart, have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock.
