About our expansion joint sealing in Broughton Crossing
Long runs of brick or block have movement joints built in that most people only notice when the sealant has gone. Failed sealant here lets rain into the wall and can leave the joint full of debris. The old seal is cut away, backing rod goes in at depth, and a low-modulus masonry sealant is gunned and tooled with primer where the maker calls for it. If you are dealing with water getting into the wall through a failed joint and arrises breaking up along floor joints, we can help. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Broughton Crossing from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Broughton Crossing have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Buckinghamshire. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll come back to it.

How a job runs
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself usually takes a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Smaller jobs around Broughton Crossing can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You will 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.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- Where the maker calls for primer, it’s applied first, then the bead goes in and is tooled to a concave finish.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
Getting a fixed quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Broughton Crossing
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Broughton Crossing can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Maintenance after handover
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
- Note which joints were done, when, and with what
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
In warehouses, forklift and pallet-truck routes take the most wear. Avoid standing heavy loads or racking legs on the joints.
When one joint fails, others of the same age are rarely far behind. Inspecting the whole run is worth the effort so you can prioritise and budget. We will tell you which movement joints need doing now and which can wait.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, 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. 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.
FAQs: Broughton Crossing
Is Broughton Crossing off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you work at a site such as Vale Retail Park, by Broughton Crossing?
Yes. Our area takes in Broughton Crossing and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Vale Retail Park included. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Usually, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
What do you charge?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. Send photographs or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.

Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Travel to remote or island sites

The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Your programme or deadline
- The type of building and who uses it
- Any specification or named product
- The postcode of the building
Pricing a project or setting a maintenance budget? We’ll quote against your scope and drawings you can plan around. If you have questions first, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly.
