Keeping the joints sound
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
Fresh joint sealant needs its full cure time before it takes traffic or water. How long that takes depends on the product, the temperature and the depth of the joint. Barriers left in place until then protect the finish.
Floor joints with failed fillers break up quickly under wheels. Damaged edges make the floor rough and wear wheels faster and the broken length grows with every pass. Keeping the filler or sealant sound protects the floor.
Your questions answered
Which documents can you supply for work in West Tisted?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Will our site in West Tisted have to close for joint sealing?
Typically not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
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.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Is colour matching possible?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
What sealant work can’t fix
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we are called out for in West Tisted
Car park decks and floors face loads that walls never see. Wheel loads stress the sealant and the arrises. The product has to be suited to the traffic.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
- Leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
Once a joint near West Tisted opens up, grit and water get in and the edges start to break; we’ll tell you if the edges need repairing first.
