Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Nash Street
We cover the full range of movement joints: brickwork and blockwork joints, precast and cladding panel joints, concrete joints, car park decks and ramps, podiums and floor movement joints. Every one calls for a sealant picked for its movement, exposure and traffic. We work on podiums and floor movement joints, blockwork control joints and brickwork movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades and damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed. Most enquiries from Nash Street start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In and around smaller places like Nash Street, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Cost factors for movement joints
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The total length or number of joints
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Access and working height
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What we need to price the job
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- When you need the work done
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Keeping the joints sound
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
Every joint we seal is backed by a 12-month guarantee on workmanship. Record which product went into which joints in the building file.
On a multi-storey car park, a failed joint typically shows up as a leak onto the deck underneath. Salty water dripping through stains soffits and lands on parked vehicles, which is bad news for the concrete and the people parking below. Resealing early limits the damage.
How a job runs
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. If others near Nash Street need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We start with photos, 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.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Your questions answered
Do you cover business parks and estates near Nash Street, such as Oakwood Business Park?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Nash Street, Oakwood Business Park among them, are all within reach. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Nash Street too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Nash Street is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
What causes movement joint sealant to fail?
The way it has failed typically tells us why: tearing down the centre means too much movement, and lifting off one side means poor adhesion. Broken edges are a third possibility.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
Surface by surface
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast panels often have surface residues that sealant won’t bond to. Proper cleaning and primer where specified give a sound bond.
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 with bays done in phases so the car park keeps running.

When it isn’t the sealant
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
