Expansion joint sealing in Mortimer
Joints in car park decks and ramps are among the hardest-working in any building. Wheel loads, grit and de-icing salts attack the seal and the concrete either side; water dripping through to the deck below is often the first sign. We reseal deck and ramp joints with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement. The enquiries we see most involve water getting into the wall through a failed joint and weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes, on car park decks and ramps, brickwork movement joints and podiums and floor movement joints. Most enquiries from Mortimer start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Around places the size of Mortimer, joints that need sealing tend to be in rural business units, farm buildings put to commercial use, schools and community buildings. Concrete floors and yards in these buildings move and crack like any others.

On site: what to expect
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Work in places the size of Mortimer is planned as a single visit where we can. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- We start with photos, 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.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Advice
When to call us in Mortimer
With no backing rod or bond-breaker in place, sealant grips the base of the joint too. Sealant fixed to the base and sides can’t flex, so it tears.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
In a school such as Mortimer St John's C.E. Infant School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
Before you book anyone
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the existing material will be dealt with
What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think before you book.

Where floor joints take the most wear near Mortimer
Mortimer lies roughly 43 miles out from central London. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.
For an occupier at a site such as Stacey Industrial Park, 2.9 miles south-west of Mortimer, the joints at loading doors and dock levellers normally see the hardest wear.
Mortimer is about 4 miles north-east of Tadley, in West Berkshire. Looking for expansion joint sealing in Mortimer? We can help. Mortimer is one of 140 places in West Berkshire on our list for movement joints. There’s a separate page for Reading, roughly 6 miles from Mortimer.

Green spaces nearby include Hosehill Lake.
Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
Fresh joint sealant needs its full cure time before it takes traffic or water. The time varies with product, conditions and joint depth. Barriers left in place until then protect the finish.
Once debris packs a failed joint, the structure has nowhere to expand. The arrises crack and break away under the load, turning a sealant job into a repair job. Keeping the seal sound avoids all of that.

Questions we’re asked in Mortimer
Is a smaller place like Mortimer outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Must our site in Mortimer stop work while the joints are done?
In the majority of cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we’ll plan from there.
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.
What guarantee do you give on joint sealing?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails inside the 12 months, let us know.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
In the majority of cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Can you seal car park deck joints?
Yes, we do. These joints take wheels, salt and water, so product choice matters, and we’ll tell you if any edges need repairing first.
Why act early in Mortimer
Resealing is normally the answer, not replacing the element. Where the edges are sound, cutting out and resealing is enough. We’ll flag where edges need repair before sealing. Small buildings around Mortimer suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
