Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Womenswold
Joint design counts for as much as the sealant itself. The joint has to be wide enough for the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability while depth is limited by backing rod or, in shallow joints, a bond-breaker. For wider joints, many sealant makers recommend a width-to-depth ratio, often around 2:1. The enquiries we see most involve torn sealant in brick or block movement joints and leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below, across cladding panel joints, podiums and floor movement joints and blockwork control joints.

When to call us in Womenswold
Some joints were never sealed with the right product. A stiff or general-purpose sealant across a joint with large movement won’t cope. Movement capability is set out in BS EN ISO 11600, and specifications often refer to it.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
Sites like St Martins Hospital (to the north-west of Womenswold) carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints.

Floors, slabs and movement joints in Womenswold
Rainfall across the South East, Womenswold included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint. Less than 3 miles from Womenswold there are at least three named estates and business parks. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints.

Across sites such as CT3 Business Park, 0.9 miles north of Womenswold, floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working.

From enquiry to sign-off
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. For work around Womenswold, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take and tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site

- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Advice
Questions about Womenswold
Is Womenswold off your patch?
Not at all. Womenswold is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Is a hospital such as St Martins Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
When can you be on site?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
Will you quote for a small job?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
What if the joint edges are damaged?
Spalled edges need repairing before a new seal will last. Sealing over them leads to early failure.
What will the job cost?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
Leave it or put it right?
A torn seal left alone normally gets worse. Grit and water fill the gap and the material either side breaks up. Acting at the first split keeps the cost down. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Womenswold, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

After the work
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
Snow ploughs and scrapers catch on joint lines. Raising blades over joints where possible protects the seal, and it’s worth checking joints once the cold weather has passed.
When one joint fails, others of the same age are rarely far behind. It pays to check every joint, not just the obvious one. We can suggest an order, worst joints first.
