Surface by surface
Internal floor movement joints
Wheeled traffic chips floor joint edges that aren’t supported. The right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement protects them.
Car park decks and ramps
Water coming through deck joints is the usual first sign. We strip the old seal, prepare the edges and seal again, and we will tell you if any edges need repairing first.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Northway can form part of a wider programme.
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Northway
At about 52 miles from central London, Northway is within reach of the capital. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors. Northway is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External joints still wait for dry conditions, while winter salting gets into any joint left open.
Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Horspath Road Industrial Estate (2.5 miles south-east of Northway): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time. Centres like Clarendon Shopping Centre, 2.1 miles south-west of Northway, have mall floors and service decks whose joints carry steady traffic.

Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Northway
When a bead pulls away from one face, it has lost adhesion. Dusty, damp or contaminated faces, a missing primer and three-sided adhesion are the usual causes.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
- Leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below
On industrial estates such as Shotover Trading Estate, which lies south-east of Northway, saw-cut floor joints, loading bay slabs and yard joints take the heaviest traffic.
What your quote should include
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Who will actually carry out the work
- How they’ll work around occupants
Our process
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. For a job in Northway, the main thing is a clear picture of the work, so send photographs of each area. You will then get a fixed price for the work.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Advice
Why act early in Northway
Doing joint resealing alongside other planned works can save on access. Leaking joints need sealing now, as damage continues meanwhile. Urgent joints now, the rest later, is often the sensible plan. In a smaller place such as Northway, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
What you get with us
- Sealing commercial buildings since 2005

Is Shotover Trading Estate, near Northway, within your area?

Is Northway too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Northway are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
Is colour matching possible?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Is movement joint sealing guaranteed?
Each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship. Damage from later works or traffic loads outside the joint’s design isn’t a workmanship fault.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Usually, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
