About our expansion joint sealing in Westcroft
Few joints take as much punishment as those in a car park. Wheel loads, grit and de-icing salts attack the seal and the concrete either side. A sealant suited to traffic and the expected movement goes in, phasing bays so the car park can stay in use. Site teams most often ask us about arrises breaking up along floor joints and joints where the bead has lost adhesion, on brickwork movement joints, cladding panel joints and blockwork control joints. Most enquiries from Westcroft start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In a smaller place such as Westcroft, floor and movement joints are often in agricultural and rural business units, schools and the odd small industrial yard. Concrete floors and yards in these buildings move and crack like any others.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Leave it or put it right?
Some quotes just add sealant over the old bead. A bead laid on top of the failed one neither grips nor flexes properly, so it fails quickly. We cut out the old seal and prepare the faces every time. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.

What else we do in Westcroft
Doing it in-house
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Certain joints really need a specialist: 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.
What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think.

Your questions answered
Is Westcroft too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Does your area include sites such as North Furzton Shopping Centre, near Westcroft?
Yes. We cover Westcroft and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as North Furzton Shopping Centre. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
Why has the sealant in our expansion joints split?
Adhesion failure, cohesive failure, edge breakdown and UV ageing account for most cases. We diagnose which one it is before resealing, because the fix differs.
Can you send site paperwork?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
What sets the cost
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Phasing around occupants
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Before you send an enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The product your specification calls for
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. To take the first step, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Our process
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, and the work typically takes a few hours to several weeks, depending on how many metres of joint there are and how much old sealant or filler needs removing. For a site in Westcroft, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- We assess the joints on site or from photographs, noting widths and how each has failed.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
What we need from you
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Move anything stored against the joints

Advice
Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
Debris does more harm to joint sealant than most people realise. Stones pressed into the bead by wheels or feet can puncture it. A routine sweep is the simplest protection.
Joints sealed at the same time generally fail around the same time. It pays to check every joint, not just the obvious one so you can prioritise and budget. We can suggest an order, worst joints first.
