Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Avongrove
For movement joints in Avongrove, photos and approximate lengths are the best start. We will come and look where photographs don’t show enough, then send a fixed quote that names the sealant. You can also phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email to talk the joints through. The enquiries we see most involve hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades and leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below, across podiums and floor movement joints, blockwork control joints and cladding panel joints.

Weather windows decide external joint work around a place like Avongrove: sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within its range. Inside slabs aren’t affected and can be scheduled around the occupier.
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.

Our process
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Jobs near Avongrove are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- 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.
- Closed-cell backing rod is set to depth, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Make sure the joints can be reached
Ask for a quote
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.

What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Cladding panel joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
What we’re called out for in Avongrove
Weathering wears down sealant on exposed elevations and decks. UV hardens the surface, and the sealant loses its ability to stretch, so it can’t follow the movement any more.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- New sealant over old, now failing
- Debris jammed in movement joints
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
Another example is Allanshaw Industrial Estate, which lies north of Avongrove, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
Should maintenance staff do it?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.

What happens if it’s left?
A failed joint seal doesn’t mean the slab, panel or wall needs replacing. If the material either side is sound, a properly prepared reseal restores the joint. We will flag where edges need repair before sealing. For buildings near Avongrove, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Why appoint us
- 12-month guarantee on workmanship

Cost factors for movement joints
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The product specified
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Any access equipment needed
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What to include in your enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Access details, including height
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Questions about Avongrove
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Udston Hospital, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is Barncluith Business Centre, near Avongrove, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Avongrove and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Barncluith Business Centre included. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
How do I request a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
How long does movement joint sealing take?
It normally takes a few hours to several weeks, depending on how many metres of joint there are and how much old sealant or filler needs removing, with phasing where areas must stay open. Cure time before reopening is confirmed on the day.
