How expansion joint sealing works in Buckinghamshire

If you need expansion joint sealing in Buckinghamshire, start with photographs and joint lengths. Send them through our quote form, and we will arrange a site visit if needed, then send a fixed quote that names the sealant. To discuss the joints first, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us. We work on precast concrete panel joints, brickwork movement joints and cladding panel joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below and weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes.

Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly.

We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
Where the maker calls for primer, it’s applied first, then the bead goes in and is tooled to a concave finish.
Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.

What you will pay

Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

Expansion joint sealing across Buckinghamshire: the area picture

Sites across Buckinghamshire rarely stop for joint work, so we work in phases and hand areas back as they cure.

Around the motorway corridors of the South East, business parks and industrial estates are common, and Buckinghamshire is part of the area we cover.

Aylesbury: Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as The Vale Hundreds Retail Park (under half a mile east of Aylesbury): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time. Centres like Friars Square, less than half a mile south-east of Aylesbury, have mall floors and service decks whose joints carry steady traffic.

Common problems we fix in Buckinghamshire

Sometimes the sealant holds but the substrate breaks away. Weak or crumbling concrete, brick or render edges give the sealant nothing sound to grip.

Most enquiries start with something like this:

Leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below
Arrises breaking up along floor joints
Layers of sealant in a movement joint
Water getting into the wall through a failed joint

Building owners, agents and FMs in Buckinghamshire

Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.

Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.

Different surfaces, different methods

Podium joints

Podium decks are exposed and often trafficked. A sealant suited to both traffic and exposure is used.

Internal floor movement joints

Floor joints include saw-cut joints and construction joints. A semi-rigid filler is common in trafficked industrial floors.

Leave it or put it right?

Patching the worst lengths of a joint can make sense short term. The remaining sealant is often close to failing too, and a second visit means paying for access again. Where it helps, we quote both options.

What affects the price in Buckinghamshire

These are the things that shape the price:

The size and state of each joint
Travel to remote or island sites
Quantities, in metres or numbers
Site requirements such as inductions and permits

The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.

Before you send an enquiry

We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:

What the building is and how it’s used
Asbestos survey details if the building is older
A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Any dates the work must fit around

Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.

FAQs: Buckinghamshire

Why has the sealant in our expansion joints split?

The common causes are poor preparation, three-sided adhesion, the wrong movement class and weathering. We diagnose which one it is before resealing.

What exactly is a movement joint?

Put simply, it’s a planned break in a wall, slab or deck so the materials can move. Expansion joint is a name often used for the same thing, and either way it needs a sound seal.

How do you choose the sealant?

A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.

Can you work on car park ramps and decks?

Yes. We use a sealant designed for wheel loads and the expected movement.

Do you take on multi-site work?

Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.

How long does movement joint sealing take?

Allow a short visit for a handful of joints, or several days or more for a car park deck or long runs of facade joints. Timings are set out in the quote.

Can a joint be sealed if the edges are broken?

Spalled edges need repairing before a new seal will last. A bead on a broken edge soon lets go.
