Floors, slabs and movement joints in Parker's Green

How the job changes by surface
Car park decks and ramps
Car park joints are some of the hardest-working joints in any building. We use a sealant made for wheel loads and the expected movement.
Cladding panel joints
Metal and composite panels shift considerably as temperatures change. The joints need a low-modulus sealant with enough movement capability in a colour confirmed for that product.
Work for main contractors and building owners
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Parker's Green can form part of a wider programme.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
On site: what to expect
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Smaller jobs around Parker's Green can be grouped with others nearby. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We start with photos, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability and tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- 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.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need

Advice
Doing it in-house
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
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 typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Check joints after long freezing spells
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
Movement joints belong on the planned maintenance inspection list. Early splits and edges starting to lift show up on a routine check. If anything looks wrong, phone 01277 525 020 or email us with photos.
External wall joints that fail let rain into the masonry and cavity. The first sign is often a damp patch indoors, well after the seal first opened. Resealing promptly prevents internal damage.

When something else is needed
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Questions we’re asked in Parker's Green
Is a hospital such as Hollanden Park Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Will our site in Parker's Green have to close for joint sealing?
In the majority of cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we’ll plan from there.
What sealant do you use in movement joints?
Whatever suits the joint and the specification. We name the proposed product in the quote so there are no surprises.
What causes movement joint sealant to fail?
The way it has failed normally tells us why: a split through the middle points to over-stretching, while peeling from one face points to preparation or primer. Sometimes the edge material itself has failed.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Do you reseal car park expansion joints?
Yes. These joints take wheels, salt and water, so product choice matters, and we’ll tell you if any edges need repairing first.
