Movement Joints In Liverpool

Movement joints, also known as expansion joints or control joints, are crucial in preventing cracks and structural stress in brickwork, blockwork and concrete. These joints allow for natural expansion and contraction caused by temperature changes, moisture and ground movement. In Liverpool, where buildings range from historic brick terraces to modern commercial structures, installing proper movement joints is essential to preserve structural integrity. Without them, rigid masonry can crack under pressure, leading to unsightly and potentially dangerous damage. At ASRS Ltd, we assess each structure to determine where movement joints are needed, how far apart they should be, and what type is best suited to the building’s materials and age. Whether you’re managing a new build or an older property that lacks proper expansion gaps, our team provides effective solutions that reduce stress and prolong the life of your structure. We’ve worked on a wide range of Liverpool properties and understand how to implement movement joints correctly and discreetly.

Over time, existing movement joints can deteriorate, especially if poor materials were used or the joints were never properly installed. In Liverpool’s older properties and industrial buildings, we often see joints that have split, failed or become clogged with debris, allowing moisture to seep in and cause internal damage. ASRS Ltd offers expert movement joint repair and replacement services, restoring their function and protecting your structure from further damage. We carefully remove degraded mastic or compressible filler materials and replace them with modern, durable products that can flex with the building as it moves. This is especially important in areas with repeated freeze-thaw cycles or structural settlement. Whether you need a single joint replaced or an entire building upgraded with new expansion joints, we’ll ensure your property is protected. Our team works cleanly and efficiently, delivering professional results across domestic, commercial and public buildings throughout Liverpool. We bring local knowledge, quality materials and structural expertise to every repair job.
