Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
On car parks, winter clearance can damage deck joint sealant. Raising blades over joints where possible protects the seal, and it’s worth checking joints once the cold weather has passed.
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. Keeping the seal sound avoids all of that.
About our expansion joint sealing in West End
Joint design counts for as much as the sealant itself. Joint width must suit the movement and the movement class of the sealant, and depth is controlled using closed-cell backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints. For wider joints, many sealant makers recommend a width-to-depth ratio, often around 2:1, and the bead is tooled so it grips the two faces alone. We work on precast concrete panel joints, podiums and floor movement joints and cladding panel joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are rain penetration at brick or block movement joints and sealant pulling off the joint face. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in West End, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around places the size of West End, joints that need sealing tend to be in rural business units, farm buildings put to commercial use, schools and community buildings. Concrete floors and yards in these buildings move and crack like any others.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Common problems we fix in West End
Three-sided adhesion is a common cause of early failure. Bonded on three faces, it can’t stretch evenly when the joint opens.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Debris jammed in movement joints
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
For a school such as Holy Trinity CofE Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.

Related advice
General trades versus a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: 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.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
What we can’t put right
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
- 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
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Common questions from West End clients
Is a smaller place like West End outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Does your area include sites such as Goldsworth Park Trading Estate, near West End?
Yes. We cover West End and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Goldsworth Park Trading Estate. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
How long will the joint resealing take?
That depends on joint lengths, widths, access and how much old sealant or filler needs removing. Typically it takes a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
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.
Why has the sealant in our expansion joints split?
Most often the movement is too much for the product or the joint width. That’s why we check width, depth and movement class before quoting, rather than replacing like for like.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.

Expansion joint sealing in West End: the local picture
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint. At about 26 miles from central London, West End is within reach of the capital. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift.
Estates like Goldsworth Park Trading Estate, 2.4 miles to the south-east of West End, combine warehouse slabs, yards and loading bays, all with joints under wheels. A healthcare site such as The Priory Hospital, 1.3 miles south-east of West End, depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.
