Keeping the joints sound
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
On car parks, winter clearance can damage deck joint sealant. Raising blades over joints where possible protects the seal.
Once debris packs a failed joint, the structure has nowhere to expand. The arrises crack and break away under the load, turning a sealant job into a repair job. A sound seal keeps the joint working.
How we handle expansion joint sealing in Paslow Wood Common
Joints in car park decks and ramps are among the hardest-working in any building. Tyres load the edges, and de-icing salts and water work into any gap, so failed seals soon lead to leaks onto the level below and broken edges. We reseal deck and ramp joints with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement. Site teams most often ask us about previous reseals laid over old sealant and hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades, on car park decks and ramps, brickwork movement joints and cladding panel joints. Whoever orders the work in Paslow Wood Common, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Paslow Wood Common have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

FAQs: Paslow Wood Common
Is Paslow Wood Common too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Paslow Wood Common are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you work at a site such as Hallsford Bridge Industrial Estate, by Paslow Wood Common?

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 will confirm them with the quote.
What guarantee do you give on joint sealing?
Each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship. The guarantee covers how we sealed, not damage caused afterwards.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Is colour matching possible?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Do you take on small jobs?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding panel joints
Access to cladding joints is agreed before the price is fixed. Photos taken near the joints help us price accurately.
Podium joints
On podiums, the joint can belong to a larger waterproofing detail. We reseal the joint where sealant is the specified fix, and tell you if the problem looks like the waterproofing below.
What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Cladding panel joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Car park decks and ramps
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. For a building around Paslow Wood Common, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- 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.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
