Questions we are asked in Micheldever
Do we have to stop operations in Micheldever while the joints are sealed?
In most cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
What paperwork can you provide for a job in Micheldever?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we’ll confirm it with the quote. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
In most cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
Can you seal joints in cold or wet weather?
The joint has to be dry, and the air and surface temperature inside the product’s limits. Cold, damp or frosty mornings can stop work outside, so we plan with the forecast in mind.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.

When something else is needed
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think.

Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Micheldever
Sun, rain and frost age external movement joints. UV hardens the surface, and the sealant loses its ability to stretch.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- New sealant over old, now failing
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Chipped joint edges on forklift routes
- Leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below
In a school such as Micheldever CofE Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
Questions to ask before you book
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Their public liability cover
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
Why it’s worth doing now in Micheldever
Sealing over a failed movement joint is a common shortcut. A bead over the old seal can’t bond or flex. Full removal and preparation is in every quote. Halls, stores and units around places like Micheldever may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.

Expansion joint sealing around Micheldever: what changes locally
Micheldever is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints. Micheldever is about 56 miles from central London. The roads out of London are lined with trade parks and distribution sheds; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift.
For floors and slabs around Micheldever, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint.

After the work
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
- Check joints after long freezing spells
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
Every joint we seal is backed by a 12-month guarantee on workmanship. Keep the handover details, product and date with your O&M records, so the next reseal starts with the facts.
When one joint fails, others of the same age are rarely far behind. Inspecting the whole run is worth the effort so you can prioritise and budget. We can suggest an order, worst joints first.
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.
Car park decks and ramps
Failed deck joints often show as leaks on the level below. We strip the old seal, prepare the edges and seal again flagging broken edges along the way.
From enquiry to sign-off
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work usually takes anything from part of a day to a couple of weeks, depending on joint lengths, widths and access. Smaller jobs around Micheldever can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- 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.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Confirm the product named in the specification
