Bagnor: questions and answers

Does your area include sites such as Parkway Shopping Centre, near Bagnor?

Yes. We cover Bagnor and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Parkway Shopping Centre. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.

Is a smaller place like Bagnor outside your area?

No. Places such as Bagnor are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.

Will you quote for a small job?

We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.

Do you use silicone or polyurethane in movement joints?

We choose a sealant with a movement capability that suits the joint as set out in BS EN ISO 11600. Hybrid or MS polymer products suit some mixed-material joints.

Can you seal car park deck joints?

Yes. Tell us how the car park is used and which areas must stay open, and we’ll plan the phasing around it.

What guarantee do you give on joint sealing?

Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. Damage from later works or traffic loads outside the joint’s design isn’t a workmanship fault.

How soon can the area be used again?

Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.

How we handle expansion joint sealing in Bagnor

Few joints take as much punishment as those in a car park. Wheel loads, grit and de-icing salts attack the seal and the concrete either side. A sealant suited to traffic and the expected movement goes in, phasing bays so the car park can stay in use. If you’re dealing with water getting into the wall through a failed joint and new sealant over old, now failing, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Bagnor it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.

For a site near Bagnor, measurements and photos up front mean one trip where possible. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we will take it from there.

Work we carry out in West Berkshire comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, call 01277 525 020 or email us and we will arrange a return visit.

What sealant work can’t fix

We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:

  • Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
  • Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
  • Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)

Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly.

What we seal

  • Brickwork movement joints
  • Podiums and floor movement joints
  • Car park decks and ramps
  • Blockwork control joints
  • Precast concrete panel joints
  • Cladding panel joints

Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Bagnor

Bagnor is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint. The 3 miles around Bagnor take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints.

Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Riverpark Industrial Estate (1.7 miles east of Bagnor): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time. At a retail site such as Parkway Shopping Centre, which lies east of Bagnor, joints in car parks, service yards and sales floors carry cars, cages and trolleys every day.

Bagnor is about 1 mile north-west of Newbury, in West Berkshire. Looking for expansion joint sealing in Bagnor? We can help. 140 places across West Berkshire fall within our area, Bagnor among them. We also cover Reading, around 16 miles from Bagnor.

Surface by surface

Joints between different materials

Junctions between brick and render, or concrete and cladding, move independently. The product must bond to both substrates and cope with the movement priming where the maker calls for it.

Internal floor movement joints

Wheeled traffic chips floor joint edges that aren’t supported. We match the product to the traffic and the movement, and tell you if edges need repairing first.

Do you need expansion joint sealing in Bagnor?

Weathering wears down sealant on exposed elevations and decks. UV hardens the surface, and the sealant loses its ability to stretch.

Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:

  • Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
  • Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
  • Arrises breaking up along floor joints
  • Movement joints with split or torn sealant

In a school such as Robert Sandilands Primary School and Nursery, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.

Choosing a commercial sealant contractor

Cost factors for movement joints

The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:

  • Site requirements such as inductions and permits
  • How much there is to seal
  • The product specified
  • Location, for remote and island sites

Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

Before you send an enquiry

A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:

  • Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
  • The type of building and who uses it
  • Asbestos survey details if the building is older
  • Anything awkward about access or site hours

For a fixed quote, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. You can also send details through our quote form.

When to bring in a specialist

Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. 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.

Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.

From enquiry to sign-off

Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Rural sites near Bagnor may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.

  1. First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
  2. A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
  3. Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
  4. We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
  5. Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
  6. We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.

Preparing the site

  • Point out parking and an unloading spot
  • Let us know about inductions and permits
  • Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
