Doing it in-house
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
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.

Questions we’re asked in Bishop's Green
Does your area include sites such as New Greenham Business Park, near Bishop's Green?
Yes, sites like New Greenham Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Bishop's Green. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as West Berkshire Community 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.
Can you work on car park ramps and decks?
Yes. Tyre loads, grit and de-icing salts make these some of the hardest joints to keep sealed.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Why has the sealant in our expansion joints split?
The way it has failed usually tells us why: a split through the middle points to over-stretching, while peeling from one face points to preparation or primer. Sometimes the edge material itself has failed.
Can you send site paperwork?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
In the majority of cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.

Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.

How a job runs
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself usually taking a short visit for a handful of joints, or several days or more for a car park deck or long runs of facade joints. For work around Bishop's Green, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Agree which areas must stay open

Keeping the joints sound
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. Keep the handover details, product and date with your O&M records so future maintenance isn’t guesswork.
Once debris packs a failed joint, the structure has nowhere to expand. The edges then take the pressure and start to spall and the reseal becomes an edge repair as well. A sound seal keeps the joint working.
Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Bishop's Green
Sealant peeling cleanly off one side is an adhesion failure. Poor preparation, a skipped primer, or sealant bonded to the back of the joint are typical reasons and it often shows on rushed work.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- New sealant over old, now failing
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
Parks like New Greenham Business Park, 0.8 miles to the north of Bishop's Green, combine paved areas, car parks and building elevations, each with joints that move.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Their public liability cover
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
How the quote is worked out
These are the things that shape the price:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Any access equipment needed
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- How much there is to seal
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.
Details that help us quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
