Expansion joint sealing across Ashbank
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal

How we handle expansion joint sealing in Ashbank
We cover the full range of movement joints: brickwork and blockwork joints, precast and cladding panel joints, concrete joints, car park decks and ramps, podiums and floor movement joints. Every one calls for a sealant picked for its movement, exposure and traffic. If you have joints where the bead has lost adhesion and rain penetration at brick or block movement joints, we can put it right, on precast concrete panel joints, car park decks and ramps and blockwork control joints alike. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Ashbank is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
For a site near Ashbank, measurements and photos up front mean one trip where possible, with the right materials on hand. Tell us the joint widths if you can, and what drives or walks over them.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Commercial clients in Ashbank
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Should maintenance staff do it?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Surface by surface
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast and concrete panel joints move daily. The sealant needs the right movement capability and a controlled depth.
Podium joints
On podiums, the joint can belong to a larger waterproofing detail. Where the specification calls for sealant, we reseal and flag it if the membrane looks like the source.
Questions we’re asked in Ashbank
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as KIMS hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is a smaller place like Ashbank outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
Does the weather affect joint sealing?
Outside work depends on conditions: rain, frost and condensation all stop sealant bonding. Indoor joints can usually carry on regardless.
Can a joint be sealed if the edges are broken?
Broken arrises have to be put right before resealing and we’ll flag every length affected. Sealing over them leads to early failure.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
On site: what to expect
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For a building around Ashbank, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability, and flag anything that needs an engineer.
- Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Make sure the joints can be reached
Getting a fixed quote

Why it’s worth doing now in Ashbank
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. We can price a patch and a full reseal side by side. Around Ashbank, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
