Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
What sets the cost
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Any access equipment needed
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- How much there is to seal
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Access details, including height
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Where the site is, with the postcode
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
About our expansion joint sealing in Ashford Common
We’ve been sealing expansion and movement joints for over 20 years for contractors, facilities managers and owners. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and we carry five million pounds of public liability insurance. Each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship. We work on cladding panel joints, podiums and floor movement joints and blockwork control joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are chipped joint edges on forklift routes and damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Ashford Common it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around Ashford Common, most floor and movement joint jobs are single buildings or yards. Getting widths, depths and traffic details up front means one visit, not two.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
Add every elevation, deck and floor joint to your inspection round. A periodic look picks up tears and lifting before water gets in, when they’re still cheap to deal with. Should you spot a problem, you can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and send a picture.
Floor joints with failed fillers break up quickly under wheels. Damaged edges make the floor rough and wear wheels faster. Sealing early protects the edges.
Your questions answered
Is Ashford Common off your patch?
No. Places such as Ashford Common are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you work at a site such as Sunbury Business Park, by Ashford Common?
Yes, sites like Sunbury Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Ashford Common. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
How do we ask for a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, as long as we plan it. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
What hours do you work?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Cladding panel joints
Why act early in Ashford Common
Some quotes just add sealant over the old bead. A bead laid on top of the failed one neither grips nor flexes properly. Full removal and preparation is in every quote. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Why appoint us
- Failed material removed, not covered up
- Fully insured
- Colour options checked against the specified product
- Standard and matched colours in many product ranges

Our process
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. Work in places the size of Ashford Common is planned as a single visit where we can. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Arrange parking or a loading space

Advice
Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Ashford Common
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.
Look out for the following:
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
- Debris jammed in movement joints
Campuses like St Mary's University (4.6 miles east of Ashford Common) mix old and new buildings, with movement joints wherever they meet.
Before you book anyone
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
