Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
Grit is the slow enemy of a joint seal. Grit trodden or driven into the joint works at the surface until it tears. Regular sweeping keeps joint lines clear.
On a multi-storey car park, a failed joint usually shows up as a leak onto the deck underneath. That water often carries de-icing salts with it. Resealing early limits the damage.

Questions about Stotfold Common
Do we have to stop operations in Stotfold Common while the joints are sealed?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Fairfield Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
That depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
How do I request a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
How long will the joint resealing take?
It normally takes 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. Cure time before reopening is confirmed on the day.
When can you be on site?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Do you take on small jobs?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.

Joints that move: notes for Stotfold Common

What the job involves on each surface
Podium joints
On podiums, the joint can belong to a larger waterproofing detail. We reseal the joint where sealant is the specified fix and flag it if the membrane looks like the source.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Masonry faces are often porous, dusty or crumbly. Faces are prepared and primed wherever the sealant maker calls for it.

Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
