What the job involves on each surface
Podium joints
Podium decks are exposed and often trafficked. We choose a product that copes with feet, wheels and weather.
Car park decks and ramps
Car park joints are some of the hardest-working joints in any building. We use a sealant made for wheel loads and the expected movement.
About our expansion joint sealing in Wildridings
Our movement joint work takes in walls, panels, decks and floors: brickwork and blockwork joints, precast and cladding panel joints, concrete joints, car park decks and ramps, podiums and floor movement joints. Every one calls for a sealant picked for its movement, exposure and traffic, and we will confirm the choice in the quote. We work on brickwork movement joints, podiums and floor movement joints and cladding panel joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are debris jammed in movement joints and new sealant over old, now failing. For commercial sealant work in Wildridings, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
In a smaller place such as Wildridings, 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.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Do you need expansion joint sealing in Wildridings?
When a bead pulls away from one face, it has lost adhesion. Poor preparation, a skipped primer, or sealant bonded to the back of the joint are typical reasons and it often shows on rushed work.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Debris jammed in movement joints
- Leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
Parks like Bracknell Enterprise Centre, 0.6 miles to the north of Wildridings, combine paved areas, car parks and building elevations, each with joints that move.

Maintenance after handover
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
Keep wheels, feet and water off new joints until the sealant has cured. How long that takes depends on the product, the temperature and the depth of the joint and we will tell you when each bay or area can reopen. Keeping the area coned off until then avoids tyre marks and damage.
Joints sealed at the same time generally fail around the same time. Inspecting the whole run is worth the effort. We can suggest an order, worst joints first.

From enquiry to sign-off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Wildridings need work too, visits can be combined. Mention the building’s opening times and we will work within them.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need

Cost factors for movement joints
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Access and working height
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Sending details for a quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, ring 01277 525 020 or email us.
Common questions from Wildridings clients
Are the floor joints in an older unit in Bracknell worth resealing?
Typically, yes, as long as the joint edges are still sound. We’ll advise on the product for your traffic and flag any edges that need repair first.
Would you work within a site like Broadmoor Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
What timescale should we allow for resealing expansion joints?
Allow a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases. We confirm the timescale with the quote, including any phasing.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
How do we ask for a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
Do you reseal car park expansion joints?
Yes. Deck and ramp joints are resealed with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement with bays phased so the car park keeps operating.

Wildridings has two named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest.
