Expansion joint sealing across Bradley
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Surface by surface
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Long brick and block elevations have movement joints at intervals. They take a low-modulus sealant with a movement class to suit, with backing rod setting the depth.
Podium joints
Podium joints often sit within a waterproofing system. Where the specification calls for sealant, we reseal, and tell you if the problem looks like the waterproofing below.

Warehouse floors and decks around Bradley
Rainfall across the South East, Bradley included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. 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. Bradley lies roughly 49 miles out from central London. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London.
For an estate such as Alton Community Hospital, which lies south-east of Bradley, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time. For an occupier at a site such as Barton Industrial Estate, which lies south of Bradley, the joints at loading doors and dock levellers usually see the hardest wear.
Bradley is about 5 miles west of Alton, in Hampshire. Anywhere in SO24, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Across Hampshire, 723 places are covered, including Bradley. Our Reading page has more on work in that area.

Our process
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before we move to the next. Rural sites near Bradley may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Agree which areas must stay open
Quotes
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
Advice
Should maintenance staff do it?
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Cost factors for movement joints
Before we quote, we look at:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Working within restricted access windows
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Sending details for a quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- When you need the work done
To get a fixed quote, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. Our quote form is another easy route.
Common questions from Bradley clients
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Alton Community Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is Bradley too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Bradley are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Does the weather affect the 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. Internal work is far less affected.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bradley
A failed joint seal doesn’t mean the slab, panel or wall needs replacing. Where the edges are sound, cutting out and resealing is enough. If the edges have broken up, we will tell you they need repairing first. Around Bradley, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Why clients in Bradley choose us
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available
- Colours confirmed for the specified product
- Fixed quotes based on photographs, drawings or a visit

Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Check joints after long freezing spells
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
Add every elevation, deck and floor joint to your inspection round. A periodic look picks up tears and lifting before water gets in. If anything looks wrong, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over with photographs.
An open joint fills with grit, and a joint full of grit can’t close. The arrises crack and break away under the load, turning a sealant job into a repair job. Keeping the seal sound avoids all of that.
