I am after advice on how best to repair the expansion joint on the footpath that has deteriorated over time.
Hello @Ryan1980
I propose digging out a bit of the soil and debris between the footpaths. Once the gap is relatively clean, I propose inserting Moroday 15mm x 5m White Gap Filler Rod at least 5mm past the surface. The purpose of the rod is to prevent the filler from sinking too far into the gap. I recommend using Sika 300ml Concrete Grey Sikaflex 11FC Purform. This will prevent rainwater from entering the footpaths gap.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Thanks Eric.
Also what would you recommend for a driveway expansion joint that has been damaged and now just fills up w dirt?
Hello @Ryan1980
If the expansion foam has totally perished, I suggest doing a bit of an investigation to see how deep the expansion foam is. The replacement piece is known as Sika 10 x 50mm 6m Abelflex Expansion Joint Filler Foam. The old expansion foam is removed and the new one pushed into the gap. Just like the foot path expansion gap, push the foam 5mm past the surface and fill it in with Sika 11FC.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.
