Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
Grit is the slow enemy of a joint seal. Stones pressed into the bead by wheels or feet can puncture it. Regular sweeping keeps joint lines clear.
An open joint fills with grit, and a joint full of grit can’t close. The arrises crack and break away under the load and the reseal becomes an edge repair as well. Keeping the seal sound avoids all of that.

When something else is needed
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.

From enquiry to sign-off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For work around Lower Common, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- Where the maker calls for primer, it’s applied first, then the bead goes in and is tooled to a concave finish.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Advice
Common questions from Lower Common clients
Can you work on a hospital site such as Wokingham Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is a smaller place like Lower Common outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.

Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it.
Do the joint edges need to be sound before sealing?
Sealant needs sound faces to bond to, so we’ll tell you if the edges need repairing before sealing. We flag it at the quote stage where we can see it.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Different surfaces, different methods
Podium joints
Podiums take foot traffic, planters and weather. A sealant suited to both traffic and exposure is used.
Internal floor movement joints
Forklift and pallet-truck wheels break unsupported joint edges. We match the product to the traffic and the movement flagging broken arrises before sealing.
How the quote is worked out
What shapes the price:
- Working within restricted access windows
- How much there is to seal
- Any access equipment needed
- The product specified
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
What to include in your enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- When you need the work done
