Expansion Joints Cutting FAQs

What is expansion joint cutting?

Expansion joint cutting is the process of sawing controlled joints into concrete slabs to manage natural movement caused by temperature changes, shrinkage and loading. These joints help prevent uncontrolled cracking and extend the lifespan of concrete floors.

Why are expansion joints important in concrete floors?

Expansion joints allow concrete to expand and contract safely without cracking. Properly cut joints protect structural integrity, improve durability and reduce long-term repair costs, particularly on large commercial and industrial floors.

When should expansion joint cutting be carried out?

Expansion joint cutting is typically carried out within 24 hours of the concrete being poured, depending on weather conditions and slab thickness. Cutting at the correct time is critical to control cracking effectively.

What types of projects require expansion joint cutting?

Expansion joint cutting is commonly required on warehouses, distribution centres, factories, retail units, car parks, external yards and super-flat floor installations where tight tolerances are essential.

Can expansion joints be cut to precise tolerances?

Yes. National Drilling Services specialise in cutting expansion joints to tight tolerances, including super-flat floor specifications. Our experienced operators use specialist equipment to ensure accuracy and consistency.

Do you work alongside floor laying contractors?

Yes. We regularly work alongside some of the UK’s largest floor laying contractors, coordinating cutting schedules to ensure seamless project delivery and minimal disruption to other trades.

Do you offer expansion joint cutting nationwide?

Yes. National Drilling Services provides expansion joint cutting services across the UK, with teams experienced in both internal floors and large external concrete areas.
