When to call us in Brockhill
The edges of the material can fail rather than the sealant. Weak or crumbling concrete, brick or render edges give the sealant nothing sound to grip, so we tell you if the edges need repairing first.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Debris jammed in movement joints

Traffic, movement and joints around Brockhill
Brockhill is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in. Two named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Brockhill. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment.
For buildings at a park such as Bracknell Enterprise Centre, 2.6 miles to the south-west of Brockhill, brick and panel movement joints are easy to forget until one leaks. A campus such as Imperial College Silwood Park Campus, 3.6 miles south-east of Brockhill, has long runs of movement joint in its buildings, decks and paving.
Brockhill is about 3 miles north-east of Bracknell, in Bracknell Forest. Anywhere in RG42, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee.

Leave it or put it right?
Patching the worst lengths of a joint can make sense short term. The remaining sealant is often close to failing too and repeated access costs add up. We can price a patch and a full reseal side by side. For buildings around smaller places like Brockhill, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

Cost factors for movement joints
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Phasing around occupants
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
What to include in your enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Specification clauses that apply
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 will fill any gaps with a visit.
Owners, agents and contractors
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Common questions from Brockhill clients
Does your area include sites such as Bracknell Enterprise Centre, near Brockhill?
Yes. Our area takes in Brockhill and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Bracknell Enterprise Centre included. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Heatherwood Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
What happens if it rains on the day?
Sealing onto a damp surface leads to adhesion failure. We agree a revised date with you.
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. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
How long does movement joint sealing take?
Allow a short visit for a handful of joints, or several days or more for a car park deck or long runs of facade joints. We confirm the timescale with the quote along with the phasing plan.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
What else we do in Brockhill
Our process
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Jobs in and around smaller places like Brockhill are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- 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.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- 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.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
Getting a fixed quote
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to call 01277 525 020 or email us.
Advice
Doing it in-house
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. 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.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
