About our expansion joint sealing in Great Easton
A movement joint only works while its seal does. When the sealant splits or lets go, the gap fills with dirt and water, the joint can’t close properly and its edges begin to crumble. Resealing at the first signs of failure is far cheaper than repairing the material either side. The enquiries we see most involve water getting into the wall through a failed joint and joints where the bead has lost adhesion, on brickwork movement joints, car park decks and ramps and cladding panel joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Great Easton it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Great Easton have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

How the job changes by surface
Podium joints
Podium decks are exposed and often trafficked. We choose a product that copes with feet, wheels and weather.
Internal floor movement joints
Wheeled traffic chips floor joint edges that aren’t supported. The right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement protects them, and tell you if edges need repairing first.

Advice
Joints that move: notes for Great Easton
The South East is one of the drier 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. At about 33 miles from central London, Great Easton is within reach of the capital. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day.
Office parks like Williams Field Business Centre, 2.1 miles west of Great Easton, have decks, ramps and clad elevations whose joints take movement every day. For a school such as Helena Romanes School and Sixth Form Centre, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays. Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Blue Gates Industrial Park (2.6 miles south of Great Easton): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time.
Great Easton is about 8 miles east of Bishop's Stortford, in Essex. Great Easton sits inside our coverage and the rest of Essex, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Our Essex coverage takes in 644 places, from busy centres to rural villages. London is covered too, some 33 miles away.

In Great Easton, that means premises near The Bell pub, among other places. For rail, the closest station is Stansted Airport station, about 3.3 miles west of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Little Easton Moat (1.2 miles south). Green spaces nearby include West Wood.
Aftercare for building managers
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
Add every elevation, deck and floor joint to your inspection round. Early splits and edges starting to lift show up on a routine check, when they’re still cheap to deal with. Should you spot a problem, you can ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and send a picture.
Joints sealed at the same time generally fail around the same time. Inspecting the whole run is worth the effort so you can prioritise and budget. We can suggest an order, worst joints first.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
For managing agents and facilities managers
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
