Common questions from Beedon clients
Will our site in Beedon have to close for joint sealing?
In the majority of cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
What site paperwork comes with a job in Beedon?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we will confirm it with the quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
Expansion joint sealing in Beedon
Joint design counts for as much as the sealant itself. The joint has to be wide enough for the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability, and depth is controlled using closed-cell backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints. For wider joints, the width-to-depth ratio is often around 2:1, as the manufacturer advises and the bead bonds to the sides, never the back. The enquiries we see most involve sealant pulling off the joint face and damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed, across blockwork control joints, car park decks and ramps and cladding panel joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Beedon, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Beedon have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
Fresh joint sealant needs its full cure time before it takes traffic or water. The time varies with product, conditions and joint depth and we’ll tell you when each bay or area can reopen. Keeping the area coned off until then avoids tyre marks and damage.
An open joint fills with grit, and a joint full of grit can’t close. The edges then take the pressure and start to spall. A sound seal keeps the joint working.
How a job runs
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself normally takes a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases, and we clear our waste as we work. If others near Beedon need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Warehouse floors and decks around Beedon
Beedon sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints. Central London is about 52 miles from Beedon. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift.
In a school such as Beedon C.E. (Controlled) Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
Beedon is about 7 miles north of Thatcham, in West Berkshire. Across the RG20 postcode area, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee.

Why deal with it now?
On a car park, resealing joints in phases keeps the deck open. Work can be planned so parts of the deck stay open without shutting the whole car park. We agree phasing with you before work starts. For buildings around smaller places like Beedon, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

What affects the price in Beedon
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Any access equipment needed
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
