If you’re dealing with expansion joints filled with dirt and stones and expansion joints split through the centre of the bead, we can put it right, whatever the surface.

Around smaller places such as Blenheim, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

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 Blenheim need work, visits can be combined. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- 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.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Advice
When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Cladding panel joints
General trades versus a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Owners, agents and contractors
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Blenheim. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.

Common questions from Blenheim clients
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as NHS Oxfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Blenheim too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
Typically, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
Do you guarantee expansion joint work?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. Tell us right away if a joint we sealed gives trouble in that time.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Can a joint be sealed if the edges are broken?
A bond is only as strong as the material behind it, so we will tell you if the edges need repairing before sealing. Where it’s visible beforehand, we will say so when we quote.
What affects the price in Blenheim
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Access and working height
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Working within restricted access windows
- The total length or number of joints
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Before you send an enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Specification clauses that apply
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
When to call us in Blenheim
Repeated failure often traces back to the wrong product. Products not classed for the movement fail early. Movement capability is set out in BS EN ISO 11600, and specifications often refer to it.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
- Chipped joint edges on forklift routes
On a site such as The Boundary Business Park, 0.5 miles north-east of Blenheim, the movement joints are in car park slabs, paving and building elevations.

Joints that move: notes for Blenheim
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints. Blenheim lies roughly 48 miles out from central London. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day.
Campuses like Oxford Brookes University, 3.6 miles north-west of Blenheim, mix old and new buildings, with movement joints wherever they meet. At places like Cowley Business Centre (1.6 miles west of Blenheim), joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.
