How we handle expansion joint sealing in Ladwell
We’ve been sealing expansion and movement joints for over 20 years for contractors, facilities managers and owners. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, we’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and we carry five million pounds of public liability insurance. Each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship. We work on brickwork movement joints, podiums and floor movement joints and car park decks and ramps, and the failures we are asked to look at most are water dripping through deck or ramp joints and sealant pulling off the joint face. Most enquiries from Ladwell start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Jobs around smaller places like Ladwell are planned so the whole job is done in one visit. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we’ll take it from there.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Do you need expansion joint sealing in Ladwell?
The edges of the material can fail rather than the sealant. If the edge of the joint is friable, the bond fails with it, so we tell you if the edges need repairing first.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- Chipped joint edges on forklift routes
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
Retail centres such as Cannons Retail Park, 2.9 miles to the south of Ladwell, have floors, service yards and car parks with joints under constant traffic.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Looking after the joints
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. Keep the handover details, product and date with your O&M records so future maintenance isn’t guesswork.
On a multi-storey car park, a failed joint usually shows up as a leak onto the deck underneath. Salty water dripping through stains soffits and lands on parked vehicles. Resealing early limits the damage.

Do you cover business parks and estates near Ladwell, such as Sleepy Hollow Business Park?

Is a smaller place like Ladwell outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
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.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
It depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Do you use silicone or polyurethane in movement joints?
The right product depends on the joint. Facades often take a low-modulus silicone; floors and decks typically need a polyurethane, and the specification has the final say.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

On site: what to expect
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself usually taking a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases. For work around Ladwell, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We start with photographs, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take, and flag anything that needs an engineer.
- Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Let building users know which areas are affected

University campuses such as University of Winchester (to the north-east of Ladwell) have car parks, paved walkways and building elevations with movement joints. At places like Omega Enterprise Park (2.1 miles south of Ladwell), joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.
