Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in North Marston
Our movement joint work takes in walls, panels, decks and floors: vertical joints in brick and block facades, joints between precast or cladding panels, concrete slab and deck joints, ramps, podiums and internal floors. The product depends on the movement, the weather and anything that runs over it and we name it in the quote. Site teams most often ask us about leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below and layers of sealant in a movement joint, across podiums and floor movement joints, cladding panel joints and blockwork control joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in North Marston is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like North Marston have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

When to call us in North Marston
Weathering wears down sealant on exposed elevations and decks. UV hardens the surface, and the sealant loses its ability to stretch.
Look out for the following:
- Leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below
- Debris jammed in movement joints
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
For a school such as North Marston Church of England School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.

How the job changes by surface
Car park decks and ramps
Car park joints are some of the hardest-working joints in any building. A trafficable sealant suited to the movement goes in.
Podium joints
Podium decks are exposed and often trafficked. A sealant suited to both traffic and exposure is used.
After the work
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
Movement joints belong on the planned maintenance inspection list. Early splits and edges starting to lift show up on a routine check and long before edges start to break. If anything looks wrong, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us with photos.
Rain gets into walls through torn brick and block movement joints. The first sign is often a damp patch indoors, well after the seal first opened. Resealing promptly prevents internal damage.
How a job runs
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work usually takes a few hours to several weeks, depending on how many metres of joint there are and how much old sealant or filler needs removing, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For a building around North Marston, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take and tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.

Your questions answered
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Royal Buckinghamshire Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Must our site in North Marston 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. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
What happens if it rains on the day?
Outside work depends on conditions because a damp or frozen joint won’t take a proper bond. Indoor joints can typically carry on regardless.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Which product is best for expansion joints?
Whatever suits the joint and the specification. The quote states the sealant and its movement class, so you know what’s going in.
