Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Expansion joint sealing in Oakthorpe Park
Internal floor joints take trolleys, pallet trucks and forklifts. Unsupported edges break up under wheels so the product has to suit both the traffic and the movement. We’ll tell you if the edges need repairing before sealing, and phased work keeps areas in use. Most enquiries involve weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes and previous reseals laid over old sealant, on brickwork movement joints, car park decks and ramps and precast concrete panel joints. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Oakthorpe Park from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Areas such as a loading bay or car park deck in Oakthorpe Park typically have to stay in use. We work through joints a section at a time, closing small areas in turn, at times agreed with the building manager.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

What we can’t put right
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Cladding panel joints
What happens if it’s left?
A torn seal left alone typically gets worse. Grit and water fill the gap and the material either side breaks up. Acting at the first split keeps the cost down. In Oakthorpe Park, each extra visit means more notices, permits and disruption, so cutting the old sealant out fully and doing it right once is the better route.

What else we do in Oakthorpe Park
Diagnose, treat, sign off
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and 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. Planning a London job such as one in Oakthorpe Park starts with access. Give us the hours we can be on site and we’ll schedule to suit.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability, and flag anything that needs an engineer.
- 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.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you

After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
Movement joints belong on the planned maintenance inspection list. A periodic look picks up tears and lifting before water gets in and long before edges start to break. Should you spot a problem, you can call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and send a picture.
Unsupported floor joint edges spall under forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Broken arrises jolt trucks, loads and drivers and the broken length grows with every pass. Keeping the filler or sealant sound protects the floor.
