After the work
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
Debris does more harm to joint sealant than most people realise. Grit trodden or driven into the joint works at the surface until it tears and decks and floors suffer most. Regular sweeping keeps joint lines clear.
A failed deck joint lets water straight through to the level below. 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.
Expansion joint sealing in Northbridge Street
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. A sealant suited to traffic and the expected movement goes in. If you’re dealing with previous reseals laid over old sealant and joints where the bead has lost adhesion, we can help. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Northbridge Street, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Northbridge Street have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.

Should maintenance staff do it?
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
How the quote is worked out
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Location, for remote and island sites
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Before you send an enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Access details, including height
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The site address and postcode
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
From enquiry to sign-off
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Jobs in and around smaller places like Northbridge Street are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- 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.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
Quotes
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Advice
Do you need expansion joint sealing in Northbridge Street?
Sun, rain and frost age external movement joints. In time the bead chalks, stiffens and cracks, so it can’t follow the movement any more.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
A healthcare site such as Ticehurst House Hospital, 5.4 miles to the north-west of Northbridge Street, depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.
Before you book anyone
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- How joint depth will be controlled
- How the existing material will be dealt with
Owners, agents and contractors
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
FAQs: Northbridge Street
Is a smaller place like Northbridge Street 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.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Ticehurst House Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can you work on car park ramps and decks?
Yes. Deck and ramp joints are resealed with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement, and phased work can be planned so parts of the car park stay in use.
Does the weather affect joint sealing?
A wet joint can’t be sealed properly. We agree a revised date with you.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
What hours do you work?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
