Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Your questions answered
Is Wethersfield off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Must our site in Wethersfield stop work while the joints are done?
In the majority of cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we’ll plan from there.
Do you reseal car park expansion joints?
Yes. Tell us how the car park is used and which areas must stay open.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
Typically, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
Will you quote for a small job?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
What hours do you work?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Can a joint be sealed if the edges are broken?
The edges have to be sound. Where they’ve broken up, we will tell you they need repairing first.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area.

Advice
Joints that move: notes for Wethersfield
Wethersfield is about 40 miles from central London. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London. Wethersfield sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, while winter salting gets into any joint left open.
Hospitals like Braintree Community Hospital (5.5 miles south-east of Wethersfield) have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock.
Wethersfield is about 6 miles north-west of Braintree, in Essex. Any commercial site in Wethersfield is covered. Wethersfield is one of 644 places in Essex on our list for movement joints. We also cover London, around 40 miles from Wethersfield.

Just outside Wethersfield, we also work in Finchingfield (2 miles north-west), Great Bardfield (2 miles west), Bardfield Saling (3 miles south-west), Little Bardfield (3 miles west) and Crow's Green (3 miles south).

Common problems we fix in Wethersfield
Car park decks and floors face loads that walls never see. Tyres and wheels press on the edges and the sealant, while grit and salts work into any gap. The product has to be suited to the traffic.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below
- New sealant over old, now failing
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
In and around Wethersfield, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.
What to look for in a quote
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- What site paperwork they can supply
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
What the job involves on each surface
Joints between different materials
Junctions between brick and render, or concrete and cladding, move independently. We choose a sealant that grips both faces, with primer where specified.
Car park decks and ramps
Car park joints are some of the hardest-working joints in any building. A trafficable sealant suited to the movement goes in, phased so parts of the car park stay open.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Brickwork movement joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Precast concrete panel joints
