About our expansion joint sealing in Pegsdon
A movement joint only works while its seal does. When the sealant splits or lets go, the gap fills with dirt and water; the joint jams, its edges take the load and the arrises spall. Resealing at the first signs of failure is far cheaper than repairing the material either side. We work on blockwork control joints, cladding panel joints and precast concrete panel joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are arrises breaking up along floor joints and water dripping through deck or ramp joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Pegsdon is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around smaller places such as Pegsdon, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Leave it or put it right?
On a car park, resealing joints in phases keeps the deck open. Phased work by bay or zone lets the rest stay in use without shutting the whole car park. Tell us what has to stay open and we will plan around it. Older rural buildings around Pegsdon move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

Different surfaces, different methods
Internal floor movement joints
Wheeled traffic chips floor joint edges that aren’t supported. We match the product to the traffic and the movement, and tell you if edges need repairing first.
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.
Looking after the joints
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
Add every elevation, deck and floor joint to your inspection round. Early splits and edges starting to lift show up on a routine check. Should you spot a problem, you can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and send a picture.
A failed deck joint lets water straight through to the level below. That water often carries de-icing salts with it, which is bad news for the concrete and the people parking below. Resealing early limits the damage.
What we’re called out for in Pegsdon
Repeated failure often traces back to the wrong product. A stiff or general-purpose sealant across a joint with large movement won’t cope. BS EN ISO 11600 classifies building sealants by movement capability.
Look out for the following:
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Debris jammed in movement joints
- Chipped joint edges on forklift routes
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
Hospitals like Keech Hospice Care (to the south-west of Pegsdon) have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock.

How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Can you quote from photos?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact.
How long will the joint resealing take?
Expect a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases, with phasing where areas must stay open. We’ll confirm when each area can be used again.
