Expert expansion joint sealant services

Our expansion joint sealant application and repair services provide a flexible, long-lasting solution to prevent cracking, water ingress, and separation.

Building facades

Ensures flexibility between structural elements, preventing cracks due to thermal expansion and contraction.

Car parks

Allows movement in large concrete slabs, reducing the risk of surface cracks and prolonging the lifespan of high-traffic areas.

Bridges & roads

Accommodates constant structural movement caused by temperature changes, heavy loads, and vibration.

Underground structures

Maintains a watertight seal while allowing for shifts in soil pressure and structural expansion.

Airports & transport hubs

Prevents surface cracks in runways, terminals, and concourses exposed to high footfall and vehicle movement.

Industrial facilities

Ensures flexibility in large industrial flooring and wall joints to prevent damage from machinery and environmental conditions.

Public buildings

Supports structural integrity in large education and healthcare buildings by absorbing movement and preventing deterioration over time.

Swimming pools

Provides a watertight barrier in tiled and concrete structures exposed to constant water pressure and environmental changes.

What is the purpose of expansion joint sealant?

Expansion joint sealant allows structures to expand and contract with temperature changes, vibrations, and building movement. It helps prevent cracks, separation, and water ingress, protecting the integrity of the structure.

Where are expansion joint sealants used?

Expansion joint sealants are commonly applied in concrete slabs, building facades, bridges, tunnels, car parks, airports, and high-traffic commercial and industrial structures. They ensure flexibility and durability while preventing damage caused by movement.

How do I know if my expansion joint sealant needs replacing?

If you notice cracking, peeling, gaps forming, or water leaking through the joints, it’s a sign that the sealant is deteriorating. Timely replacement helps prevent costly structural issues.

Can expansion joint sealant improve waterproofing?

Yes, properly applied expansion joint sealant provides a watertight barrier, preventing water penetration in areas exposed to moisture, such as bridges, tunnels, and building exteriors.

How long does expansion joint sealant last?

The lifespan depends on environmental exposure, traffic load, and movement frequency. High-quality sealants can last many years, but periodic inspection and maintenance ensure ongoing effectiveness.

Is repairing expansion joint sealant more cost-effective than replacement?

In many cases, repairing or resealing expansion joints is a cost-effective solution that prevents further deterioration, avoiding costly structural repairs or replacements.
