How we handle expansion joint sealing in Hundred Acres
Joint design counts for as much as the sealant itself. The joint has to be wide enough for the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability, and depth is controlled using closed-cell backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints. For wider joints, the width-to-depth ratio is often around 2:1, as the manufacturer advises, and the bead is tooled so it grips the two faces alone. If you are dealing with sealant peeling off one face of the joint and debris jammed in movement joints, we can put it right, on blockwork control joints, brickwork movement joints and precast concrete panel joints alike. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Hundred Acres first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
For a site near Hundred Acres, measurements and photos up front mean one trip where possible. Tell us the joint widths if you can, and what drives or walks over them.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

What happens if it’s left?
Spot repairs can be useful on a tight budget. The remaining sealant is often close to failing too and repeated access costs add up. Where it helps, we quote both options. Around Hundred Acres, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Why clients in Hundred Acres choose us

Aftercare for building managers
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
Fresh joint sealant needs its full cure time before it takes traffic or water. The time varies with product, conditions and joint depth, and we confirm it for each area before we leave. Keeping the area coned off until then avoids tyre marks and damage.
An open joint fills with grit, and a joint full of grit can’t close. The edges then take the pressure and start to spall. A sound seal keeps the joint working.
On site: what to expect
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. If others near Hundred Acres need work, visits can be combined. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
Getting a fixed quote
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

What the job involves on each surface
Cladding panel joints
Cladding panels move more than masonry as they heat and cool. A sealant with the right movement class is chosen in a colour confirmed for that product.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast panels often have surface residues that sealant won’t bond to. We prepare the faces thoroughly and prime where the maker calls for it and check the edges for soundness as we go.
When it isn’t the sealant
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal

Do you need expansion joint sealing in Hundred Acres?
With no backing rod or bond-breaker in place, sealant grips the base of the joint too. Bonded on three faces, it can’t stretch evenly when the joint opens so backing is set before sealing.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
- Leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes

Common questions from Hundred Acres clients
Does your area include sites such as Knowle Village Business Park, near Hundred Acres?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Hundred Acres, Knowle Village Business Park among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is a hospital such as Knowle Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Can you send site paperwork?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
How long does movement joint sealing take?
It normally takes a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases. Timings are set out in the quote along with the phasing plan.
How much does the work cost?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote.
