What the job involves on each surface
Joints between different materials
Some mixed-material joints suit a hybrid sealant. The choice depends on the substrates and how much the joint moves.
Car park decks and ramps
Car park joints are some of the hardest-working joints in any building. A trafficable sealant suited to the movement goes in with bays done in phases so the car park keeps running.

On site: what to expect
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. If others near Stony Green need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- 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.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces, 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.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

FAQs: Stony Green
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like The Chiltern Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Does a site in Stony Green have to shut while its joints are sealed?
In most cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
What’s the difference between an expansion joint and a movement joint?
It’s a deliberate gap that lets the structure move without cracking. Many people call it an expansion joint and both need a flexible seal.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Usually, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
Why has the sealant in our expansion joints split?
Normally the joint is moving more than the sealant can take. We review the joint design as well as the sealant before pricing.
Traffic, movement and joints around Stony Green
Stony Green lies roughly 31 miles out from central London. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London. Rainfall across the South East, Stony Green included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.
Sites like The Chiltern Hospital, 2.5 miles east of Stony Green, carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints. Schools such as Prestwood Junior School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook. A campus such as Buckinghamshire New University (4.2 miles south of Stony Green) has long runs of movement joint in its buildings, decks and paving.

Aftercare for building managers
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
Keep wheels, feet and water off new joints until the sealant has cured. How long that takes depends on the product, the temperature and the depth of the joint and we will tell you when each bay or area can reopen. Keeping the area coned off until then avoids tyre marks and damage.
An open joint fills with grit, and a joint full of grit can’t close. The edges then take the pressure and start to spall and the reseal becomes an edge repair as well. A sound seal keeps the joint working.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Why deal with it now?
Resealing is normally the answer, not replacing the element. If the material either side is sound, a properly prepared reseal restores the joint. We’ll flag where edges need repair before sealing. Older rural buildings around Stony Green 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.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
