Expansion joint sealing in Tendring Green
Joints in car park decks and ramps are among the hardest-working in any building. Wheel loads, grit and de-icing salts attack the seal and the concrete either side; water dripping through to the deck below is often the first sign. We reseal deck and ramp joints with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement, phasing bays so the car park can stay in use. The enquiries we see most involve movement joints with split or torn sealant and water getting into the wall through a failed joint, across brickwork movement joints, cladding panel joints and car park decks and ramps. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Tendring Green tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around smaller places such as Tendring Green, 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.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application.

Common questions from Tendring Green clients
Is Oak Business Park, near Tendring Green, within your area?
Yes. We cover Tendring Green and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Oak Business Park. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Is Tendring Green off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
How much does the work cost?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Can you seal car park deck joints?
Yes. Tyre loads, grit and de-icing salts make these some of the hardest joints to keep sealed and broken edges are flagged before sealing.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit.
Can you seal joints in cold or wet weather?
Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range. Cold, damp or frosty mornings can stop work outside, so we plan with the forecast in mind.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Owners, agents and contractors
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Tendring Green. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Looking after the joints
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
Add every elevation, deck and floor joint to your inspection round. A periodic look picks up tears and lifting before water gets in. Should you spot a problem, you can ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and send a picture.
When one joint fails, others of the same age are rarely far behind. Inspecting the whole run is worth the effort. We can suggest an order, worst joints first.
When something else is needed
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Brickwork movement joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Blockwork control joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
What the job involves on each surface
Car park decks and ramps
Water coming through deck joints is the usual first sign. The old seal comes out, the edges are prepared and the joint resealed flagging broken edges along the way.
Podium joints
Podium decks are exposed and often trafficked. A sealant suited to both traffic and exposure is used.
Warehouse floors and decks around Tendring Green
Tendring Green is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.

The roads out of London are lined with trade parks and distribution sheds; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we’re in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use.
