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.

Diamond Floor Grinding is an efficient and dust free method of preparing concrete surfaces. The machines use either 415v 3-phase or 110v power and comes in various sizes depending on the application and volume of work. The diamond floor grinding machines have diamond tooling configured beneath the grinding head that rotate in a single or planetary motion.

The operation is clean and fully self-contained allowing sensitive projects to be completed with little or no impact on surrounding areas of work. The diamond floor grinding method is effective on concrete leaving an open smooth profile for products and materials to adhere to.

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.
