Expansion joint sealing for Yarbridge sites
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Keeping the joints sound
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
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 confirm it for each area before we leave. 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 damage spreads along the joint. Sealing early protects the edges.
About our expansion joint sealing in Yarbridge
Few joints take as much punishment as those in a car park. Tyres load the edges, and de-icing salts and water work into any gap; water dripping through to the deck below is often the first sign. A sealant suited to traffic and the expected movement goes in, phasing bays so the car park can stay in use. If you have rain penetration at brick or block movement joints and chipped joint edges on forklift routes, we can put it right, on cladding panel joints, podiums and floor movement joints and blockwork control joints alike. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Yarbridge first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Yarbridge have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
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’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

On site: what to expect
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Rural sites near Yarbridge may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- 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.
- Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

What sealant work can’t fix
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Precast concrete panel joints
What happens if it’s left?
On a car park, resealing joints in phases keeps the deck open. Work can be planned so parts of the deck stay open. Tell us what has to stay open and we will plan around it. Around Yarbridge, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- The product specified
- The size and state of each joint
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- When you need the work done
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Where the site is, with the postcode
For a fixed quote, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the site address and an outline of the work. Our quote form is another easy route.
How the job changes by surface
Car park decks and ramps
Deck and ramp joints take tyre loads, grit and de-icing salts. We use a sealant made for wheel loads and the expected movement.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Brick and block edges need careful preparation. Faces are prepared and primed wherever the sealant maker calls for it, then seal and tool the joint.
Common questions from Yarbridge clients
Do you cover business parks and estates near Yarbridge, such as Spithead Business Centre?
Yes, sites like Spithead Business Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Yarbridge. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Yarbridge too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Which product is best for expansion joints?
We choose a sealant with a movement capability that suits the joint as set out in BS EN ISO 11600. Hybrid or MS polymer products suit some mixed-material joints.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
What hours do you work?
We’re in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.

Warehouse floors and decks around Yarbridge
Yarbridge is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, and edges left open tend to break up faster. Rainfall across the South East, Yarbridge included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.
Large sites such as Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children (to the south-west of Yarbridge) have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels. In a school such as Brading Church of England Controlled Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Whitecross Business Centre (2.7 miles south-west of Yarbridge): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time.
