Joint Sealing
Failed joints and cracked surfaces causing surface water ingress can result in significant damage to concrete and asphalt surfaces, especially on areas such as Airfields, Highways and other concrete pavement areas where safety and durability are crucial. If left untreated, these can require full-depth repairs or replacement, a process that will be time-consuming, expensive, and disruptive to operations.
Our joint sealing services in combination with other preventative maintenance work offer an excellent alternative, helping you to safeguard your concrete and asphalt surfaces against unwanted damage and dilapidation, extending their lifespan and reducing maintenance costs.
How concrete joint sealing is used
Joint sealing is a vital process for ensuring the longevity of concrete and asphalt surfaces. It involves the application of sealant material to expansion or contraction joints, which allows the concrete or asphalt to move through natural expansion and contraction heat cycles while maintaining a seal, preventing water and contaminate ingress into the joint and slab sub-base. Joint sealing can be done during construction, or completed on failed joints by raking out existing material, preparing the joint and then re-sealing.
We provide high-quality joint sealing services using either bitumen-based N1, N2 and 95.25 Oxidised products or Polysulphide cold pour fuel-resistant material for use where fuel or oil spills may occur. Our team of experts has the equipment and experience to tackle any sealing job, including cable chasing and sealing, with both hot and cold pour capabilities.

Ironwork Reinstatement
Repairs to road ironworks are a costly and time-wasting drain on authorities, not to mention inconvenient to road users. But IKO Pacopatch offers a practical, one-time solution. Designed to reinstate failing surfaces surrounding manholes, drainage gullies and other public utilities ironworks, it uses two state-of-the-art materials, the IKO Pacopatch Brick and the IKO Pacopatch Grout, which work hand in hand to create an impermeable system made to last.
Firstly, a layer of grout is installed and then the blocks introduced with more grout to fill the voids to the top of the blocks. Dependant on the depth of the repair more layers of grout and blocks are added and then a final layer of grout with bitumen coated stones introduced and pushed into the grout to provide a high grip and wearing surface.
The blocks not only provide strength to the repair but they also absorb the heat from the grout allowing for the quick return to service. And it gets better, because this is a compaction free solution - no roller or plate compactor is required, so no damage is done to the existing ironwork. Overall the process is quick and easy to do, providing a quick return to service within 1-2 hours.

Floor Stripping
Floor stripping is a quick and effective way to remove tiled or continuous floor coverings. The covering is removed using a blade at the front of the machine that can be lowered into position. The stripping machines are either 110v or battery powered, walk behind or ride on dependent on application and volume of work. The floor stripping machines is ergonomically friendly which makes it versatile for access via lifts and/or working in confined areas.
The stripping is quick, clean allowing projects undertaken to be completed in a minimum time. The method is effective on both concrete and integral screed, stripping the material back clean to the subfloor.

Data centre infrastructure partners
Data Centre Infrastructure Partners
Castle and Pryor are your perfect Data Centre Infrastructure partner. Using our electrical or battery powered machinery and utilising diamond cutting technology, we can drill, cut, breakout, dig and remove spoil generated to prepare reinforced concrete structures. Using our various services, we can partner with you to help create the ideal space and environment for your data centre, helping to move it from conception to operational.
We can:
- Form accurate and precise chases and recesses to accept Data Centre services.
- Form trenches to accept power, data, drainage and air conditioning services.
- Provide fixing and anchor load testing.
- Provide various Floor Preparation services preparing surfaces for new floor systems.
- With a fully electric or battery powered fleet of plant and equipment, we are capable of completing any environmentally sensitive internal works without the risk of toxic fumes build up.
- We pride ourselves on our Health and Safety record and demand all our works are completed to a high health and safety standard. We continue to invest heavily in remote controlled, autonomous equipment, allowing the operator to be removed from manual handling heavy tasks and from the point of work and potentially hazardous environments.
- All our operatives are trained to NVQ Level 2 standards, as set out by the Construction Industry Training Board.
- During early planning and design stages, using our Vac-Ex excavation services, we can safely find and identify existing services, avoiding potentially disruptive and expensive service strikes.
