External joints still wait for dry conditions, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.
Schools such as Thurstable School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.

FAQs: Oxley Green
Is a smaller place like Oxley Green outside your area?
Not at all. Oxley Green is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do we have to stop operations in Oxley Green while the joints are sealed?
Usually not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Do you guarantee expansion joint work?
The workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months from sign-off and we hold public liability insurance. Keeping joints clear of debris helps them last.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Are expansion joints and movement joints the same thing?
Put simply, it’s a planned break in a wall, slab or deck so the materials can move. Many people call it an expansion joint.
Can you send site paperwork?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. Rural sites near Oxley Green may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- We assess the joints on site or from photographs, noting widths and how each has failed.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Point out any areas we must not close
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Advice
Honest limits
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Why it’s worth doing now in Oxley Green
On a car park, resealing joints in phases keeps the deck open. Phased work by bay or zone lets the rest stay in use, compared with a full closure. Tell us what has to stay open and we’ll plan around it. Converted and older buildings near places like Oxley Green tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.

Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
Fresh joint sealant needs its full cure time before it takes traffic or water. How long that takes depends on the product, the temperature and the depth of the joint. Barriers left in place until then protect the finish.
An open joint fills with grit, and a joint full of grit can’t close. The arrises crack and break away under the load. Keeping the seal sound avoids all of that.
Common problems we fix in Oxley Green
When a bead pulls away from one face, it has lost adhesion. Poor preparation, a skipped primer, or sealant bonded to the back of the joint are typical reasons.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- Joints packed with grit and debris
Parks like Beckingham Business Park, 2.2 miles south-west of Oxley Green, combine paved areas, car parks and building elevations, each with joints that move.
