Expansion joint sealing in Roundbush
Few joints take as much punishment as those in a car park. Wheel loads, grit and de-icing salts attack the seal and the concrete either side, 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 and the work can be phased so parts of the car park stay open. If you’re dealing with torn sealant in brick or block movement joints and spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks, we can put it right. For commercial sealant work in Roundbush, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
In and around smaller places like Roundbush, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

We follow your site rules from the start: 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.

- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- Where the maker calls for primer, it’s applied first, then the bead goes in and is tooled to a concave finish.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Why act early in Roundbush
Leaving a failed movement joint rarely stays a small problem. Grit and water fill the gap and the material either side breaks up. Resealing early keeps the work to sealant. Older rural buildings around Roundbush move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

What the job involves on each surface
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast and concrete panel joints move daily. The sealant needs the right movement capability and a controlled depth.
Internal floor movement joints
Wheeled traffic chips floor joint edges that aren’t supported. We match the product to the traffic and the movement flagging broken arrises before sealing.
Your questions answered
Does a coastal location like Roundbush affect which sealant is used?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Is Roundbush too far out for you?
Not at all. Roundbush is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
When can you be on site?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
How much does the work cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Why has the sealant in our expansion joints split?
Most often the movement is too much for the product or the joint width. We review the joint design as well as the sealant before pricing, rather than replacing like for like.
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. Expansion joint is a name often used for the same thing, and either way it needs a sound seal.
Doing it in-house
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
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.

Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Mayfair Industrial Estate (1.2 miles south-east of Roundbush): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time. Schools like Cold Norton Primary School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.

- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them

Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Roundbush
On trafficked joints, wheels and salts do the damage. Wheel loads stress the sealant and the arrises, while grit and salts work into any gap. A sealant that isn’t trafficable won’t last there.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
Estates like Mapledean Industrial Estate (to the south-east of Roundbush) combine warehouse slabs, yards and loading bays, all with joints under wheels.
