Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Amen Corner
Our movement joint work takes in walls, panels, decks and floors: vertical joints in brick and block facades, joints between precast or cladding panels, concrete slab and deck joints, ramps, podiums and internal floors. The product depends on the movement, the weather and anything that runs over it. If you have new sealant over old, now failing and sealant peeling off one face of the joint, we can put it right.

What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly.

We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How much there is to seal

No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Expansion joint sealing around Amen Corner: what changes locally
Central London is about 30 miles from Amen Corner. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day. Rainfall across the South East, Amen Corner included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.
At places like Bracknell Enterprise Centre, 0.9 miles to the east of Amen Corner, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on. For a school such as Jennett's Park CofE Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.
Amen Corner is about 1 mile west of Bracknell, in Bracknell Forest.

Is Longshot Lane Industrial Estate, near Amen Corner, within your area?

Would you work within a site like Wokingham Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Do you guarantee expansion joint work?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails inside the 12 months, let us know.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
What sealant do you use in movement joints?
The right product depends on the joint. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many facade joints, while polyurethane is common in trafficked floor and deck joints unless the specification names something else.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
What’s the difference between an expansion joint and a movement joint?
They’re closely related. A movement joint allows for expansion, contraction, shrinkage and loading, and the seal across it keeps water and debris out.
Common problems we fix in Amen Corner
When the movement exceeds the sealant’s capability, the bead tears. Cohesive failure, a split through the centre, normally means the joint or product wasn’t right for the movement. The same product in the same joint tends to fail again unless width and product are reviewed.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Joints packed with grit and debris
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
Sites like Wokingham Hospital (2.7 miles west of Amen Corner) carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints.
Questions to ask before you book
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
Our process
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Several jobs near Amen Corner can be grouped on one trip. Mention the building’s opening times and we will work within them.
- We assess the joints on site or from photos, noting widths and how each has failed.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

Related advice
Why deal with it now?
Closing a car park for a reseal is rarely an option. Work can be planned so parts of the deck stay open, compared with a full closure. We agree phasing with you before work starts. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote when you are ready.

What the job involves on each surface
Car park decks and ramps
Water coming through deck joints is the usual first sign. We strip the old seal, prepare the edges and seal again, and we will tell you if any edges need repairing first.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Masonry faces are often porous, dusty or crumbly. Faces are prepared and primed wherever the sealant maker calls for it.
