How we handle expansion joint sealing in Jordans
Buildings and slabs are never completely still: they expand in the heat, shrink as they dry, and shift under load. Expansion and movement joints are built in so the structure can move without cracking, and the sealant in them keeps water and debris out. We seal and reseal movement joints in walls, panels, decks and floors. Site teams most often ask us about chipped joint edges on forklift routes and joints packed with grit and debris, on podiums and floor movement joints, cladding panel joints and precast concrete panel joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Jordans is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Jobs around smaller places like Jordans 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.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

Joints that move: notes for Jordans
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in. Jordans is about 23 miles from central London. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day.
Hospital campuses such as Chalfonts and Gerrards Cross Hospital, 1.5 miles east of Jordans, grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.
Jordans is about 2 miles east of Beaconsfield, in Buckinghamshire. We cover Jordans and the rest of Buckinghamshire, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. We work across 308 places in Buckinghamshire, from busy centres to rural villages. Our Reading page has more on work in that area.
Anyone looking for expansion joint sealing in HP9 gets the same process as the rest of our area: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. We cover commercial and managed buildings on Green West Road, Seer Green Lane and Crutches Lane and the roads nearby. Just outside Jordans, we also work in Chalfont St Giles (2 miles north-east), Chalfont St Peter (2 miles east), Chalfont Common (2 miles east), Horn Hill (3 miles east) and Maple Cross (4 miles east). A short drive away, we cover High Wycombe (7 miles west), Chesham (7 miles north), Marlow (8 miles west), Amersham (4 miles north), Princes Risborough (13 miles north-west) and Wendover (12 miles north-west).
Local landmarks in Jordans
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to British Defence Film Library, The Chalfonts Community College and Jolly Cricketers pub and the streets around them. The closest station to Jordans is Seer Green & Jordans station, roughly 0.6 miles south-west. Other landmarks nearby include Chalfonts and Gerrards Cross Hospital (1.5 miles east) and Chiltern Open Air Museum (2.8 miles north-east). The countryside around Jordans includes Long Grove Wood and Pynesfield Lake.
Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
Every joint we seal is backed by a 12-month guarantee on workmanship. Record which product went into which joints in the building file so future maintenance isn’t guesswork.
Floor joints with failed fillers break up quickly under wheels. Broken arrises jolt trucks, loads and drivers. Sealing early protects the edges.
From enquiry to sign-off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Rural sites near Jordans may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

What else we do in Jordans
When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Blockwork control joints
- Precast concrete panel joints

FAQs: Jordans
Must our site in Jordans stop work while the joints are done?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Chalfonts and Gerrards Cross Hospital, something you do?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
When can you be on site?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Why has the sealant in our expansion joints split?
The common causes are poor preparation, three-sided adhesion, the wrong movement class and weathering. We diagnose which one it is before resealing.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact.
How the job changes by surface
Concrete and precast panel joints
Joints between precast panels open and close with temperature and loading. We use a sealant classed for the movement, laid over backing to depth.
Joints between different materials
Hybrid or MS polymer sealants bond to many substrates. The choice depends on the substrates and how much the joint moves.
Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Jordans
Some joints were never sealed with the right product. A stiff or general-purpose sealant across a joint with large movement won’t cope. Movement capability is set out in BS EN ISO 11600, and specifications often refer to it.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
- Leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
For a school such as Jordans School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of insurance
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
Cost factors for movement joints
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Which sealant the job calls for
- The size and state of each joint
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Before you send an enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
