Expansion joint sealing in Aldermaston: the local picture
Aldermaston is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, while winter salting gets into any joint left open. Central London is about 46 miles from Aldermaston. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital.
On a site such as Fronds Park Business Park, 0.8 miles to the north of Aldermaston, the movement joints are in car park slabs, paving and building elevations. At places like Youngs Industrial Estate, 0.9 miles south of Aldermaston, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.

Expansion joint sealing in Aldermaston
Joints in car park decks and ramps are among the hardest-working in any building. Tyres load the edges, and de-icing salts and water work into any gap. A sealant suited to traffic and the expected movement goes in, phasing bays so the car park can stay in use. We work on brickwork movement joints, podiums and floor movement joints and cladding panel joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are chipped joint edges on forklift routes and car park joints leaking onto vehicles below. Whoever orders the work in Aldermaston, the brief is usually the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Aldermaston have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Any specification or named product
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

Our process
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. If others near Aldermaston need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Related advice
Common problems we fix in Aldermaston
On trafficked joints, wheels and salts do the damage. Tyres and wheels press on the edges and the sealant, while grit and salts work into any gap. A sealant that isn’t trafficable won’t last there.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
Schools like Aldermaston C.E. Primary School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.
Questions to ask before you book

- Their public liability cover
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Leave it or put it right?
Resealing is normally the answer, not replacing the element. Where the edges are sound, cutting out and resealing is enough. If the edges have broken up, we will tell you they need repairing first. For buildings around smaller places like Aldermaston, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Questions we are asked in Aldermaston
Is Aldermaston off your patch?
Not at all. Aldermaston is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Is Fronds Park Business Park, near Aldermaston, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Aldermaston, Fronds Park Business Park among them, are all within reach. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
When can you be on site?
We’re in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Are you insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
