Questions about Steventon End
Is Steventon End too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Is The Mount Business Park, near Steventon End, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Steventon End, The Mount Business Park among them, are all within reach. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
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.
When can you be on site?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Do you reseal car park expansion joints?
Yes. Deck and ramp joints are resealed with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement.
Do you use silicone or polyurethane in movement joints?
The specification comes first, then the joint’s movement and exposure. We name the proposed product in the quote so there are no surprises.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
About our expansion joint sealing in Steventon End
The seal is what lets a movement joint do its job. Once it fails, water, grit and debris get in, the joint can’t close properly and its edges begin to crumble. Resealing at the first signs of failure is far cheaper than repairing the material either side. If you have new sealant over old, now failing and weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes, we can help, on precast concrete panel joints, car park decks and ramps and blockwork control joints alike. Whoever orders the work in Steventon End, the brief is usually the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Jobs around smaller places like Steventon End are planned so the whole job is done in one visit. Tell us the joint widths if you can, and what drives or walks over them.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Floors, slabs and movement joints in Steventon End
Steventon End is about 43 miles from central London. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors. Steventon End is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.
In a school such as Ashdon Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. Large sites such as Saffron Walden Community Hospital, 3.9 miles to the south-west of Steventon End, have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels. For buildings at a park such as The Mount Business Park, 2.7 miles north of Steventon End, brick and panel movement joints are easy to forget until one leaks.
Steventon End is about 4 miles north-east of Saffron Walden, in Essex. We cover commercial sites throughout Steventon End, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. Our Essex coverage takes in 644 places, large and small. We also cover London, some 43 miles away.

Surface by surface
Podium joints
Podium joints often sit within a waterproofing system. Where the specification calls for sealant, we reseal.
Internal floor movement joints
Wheeled traffic chips floor joint edges that aren’t supported. The right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement protects them flagging broken arrises before sealing.
How a job runs
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we’re cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. If others near Steventon End need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Advice
After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. Record which product went into which joints in the building file, so the next reseal starts with the facts.
External wall joints that fail let rain into the masonry and cavity. It can surface inside as damp a long way from the joint. Resealing promptly prevents internal damage.

What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. 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.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
