Questions about Bunkers Hill
Will our site in Bunkers Hill have to close for joint sealing?
Usually not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we’ll plan from there.
Can you work at a site such as Oxford Spires Business Park, by Bunkers Hill?
Yes, sites like Oxford Spires Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Bunkers Hill. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
What happens if it rains on the day?
A wet joint can’t be sealed properly. The work is simply moved to the next suitable day.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Do you reseal car park expansion joints?
Yes. Deck and ramp joints are resealed with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement, and phased work can be planned so parts of the car park stay in use.
What guarantee do you give on joint sealing?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails inside the 12 months, let us know.
Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Bunkers Hill
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 comes out, backing goes in and a sealant with the right movement class is applied with primer where the maker calls for it. If you have water dripping through deck or ramp joints and expansion joints split through the centre of the bead, we can put it right, on cladding panel joints, precast concrete panel joints and car park decks and ramps alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Bunkers Hill, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Bunkers Hill have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

What happens if it’s left?
A torn seal left alone typically gets worse. Grit and water fill the gap and the material either side breaks up, so a reseal turns into an edge repair as well. Acting at the first split keeps the cost down. Converted and older buildings near places like Bunkers Hill tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.

Expansion joint sealing around Bunkers Hill: what changes locally
Bunkers Hill sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, while winter salting gets into any joint left open. Bunkers Hill lies roughly 58 miles out from central London. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital.
Schools like Marlborough School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly. At places like Station Field Industrial Estate, 2 miles to the south of Bunkers Hill, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.
Bunkers Hill is about 7 miles south-west of Bicester, in Oxfordshire.

When to call us in Bunkers Hill
Repeated failure often traces back to the wrong product. A stiff or general-purpose sealant across a joint with large movement won’t cope. BS EN ISO 11600 classifies building sealants by movement capability.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
- Joints packed with grit and debris
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
On a site such as Oxford Spires Business Park, which lies south of Bunkers Hill, the movement joints are in car park slabs, paving and building elevations.
What your quote should include
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
On site: what to expect
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. Rural sites near Bunkers Hill may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- We assess the joints on site or from photos, noting widths and how each has failed.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- 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.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in

Advice
What affects the price in Bunkers Hill
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- How much there is to seal
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Joint width, depth and condition
A quote for movement joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Details that help us quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Access details, including height
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The site address and postcode
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer.
