Different surfaces, different methods
Car park decks and ramps
Deck and ramp joints take tyre loads, grit and de-icing salts. A trafficable sealant suited to the movement goes in.
Joints between different materials
Hybrid or MS polymer sealants bond to many substrates. We pick the product for the materials and the movement.
How we handle expansion joint sealing in North Weald Bassett
Long runs of brick or block have movement joints built in that most people only notice when the sealant has gone. Failed sealant here lets rain into the wall and can leave the joint full of debris. The old seal comes out, backing goes in and a sealant with the right movement class is applied with primer where the maker calls for it. We work on cladding panel joints, blockwork control joints and brickwork movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are layers of sealant in a movement joint and leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below. Searching for sealant specialists in North Weald Bassett? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.

What sealant work can’t fix
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Is colour matching possible?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Which product is best for expansion joints?

When to call us in North Weald Bassett
Three-sided adhesion is a common cause of early failure. Sealant fixed to the base and sides can’t flex, so it tears so backing is set before sealing.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
- Joints packed with grit and debris
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
For a school such as St Andrew's CofE Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.

On site: what to expect
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself usually taking a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases. Work in places the size of North Weald Bassett is planned as a single visit where we can. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
Getting a fixed quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
