About our expansion joint sealing in Monkwood
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 while depth is limited by backing rod or, in shallow joints, a bond-breaker. For wider joints, the width-to-depth ratio is often around 2:1, as the manufacturer advises. Most enquiries involve joints where the bead has lost adhesion and water dripping through deck or ramp joints, on podiums and floor movement joints, car park decks and ramps and brickwork movement joints. For commercial sealant work in Monkwood, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Monkwood have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will arrange a return visit.

Why it’s worth doing now in Monkwood
Doing joint resealing alongside other planned works can save on access. But joints already letting water in shouldn’t wait for a programme because damage continues. Urgent joints now, the rest later, is often the sensible plan. Halls, stores and units around places like Monkwood may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

When to call us in Monkwood
The edges of the material can fail rather than the sealant. If the edge of the joint is friable, the bond fails with it.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Chipped joint edges on forklift routes
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
Hospitals like Alton Community Hospital (5.5 miles north-east of Monkwood) have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock.
What your quote should include
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?

Questions about Monkwood
Is a smaller place like Monkwood outside your area?
Not at all. Monkwood is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Alton Community Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
What if the joint edges are damaged?
The edges have to be sound. If they’re damaged, we’ll say so before any sealing so you’re not paying for a bead that won’t hold.
Can you seal car park deck joints?
Yes. Tell us how the car park is used and which areas must stay open.
What do you charge?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with a description of the work.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Our process
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. If others near Monkwood need work, visits can be combined. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We start with photographs, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability and tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Send your site hours and access windows

Surface by surface
Internal floor movement joints
Floor joints include saw-cut joints and construction joints. Trafficked floor joints often get a semi-rigid filler.
Car park decks and ramps
Car park joints are some of the hardest-working joints in any building. We use a sealant made for wheel loads and the expected movement.
Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Monkwood
Monkwood sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint. Monkwood lies roughly 51 miles out 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.
For buildings at a park such as Mansfield Business Park, 3 miles to the north of Monkwood, brick and panel movement joints are easy to forget until one leaks.
