About our expansion joint sealing in Burcott
Brickwork and blockwork walls have vertical movement joints at intervals. 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, primed where the manufacturer specifies. We work on precast concrete panel joints, car park decks and ramps and blockwork control joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades and joints where the bead has lost adhesion. Searching for sealant specialists in Burcott? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Burcott have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

What we can’t put right
Some faults sit outside our scope, 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
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Cladding panel joints
Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding panel joints
Cladding panels move more than masonry as they heat and cool. The joints need a low-modulus sealant with enough movement capability in a colour confirmed for that product.
Podium joints
Podium joints often sit within a waterproofing system. We reseal the joint where sealant is the specified fix and flag it if the membrane looks like the source.
How the quote is worked out
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- The site’s rules and procedures
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What to include in your enquiry
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Your programme or deadline
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us if you’d rather talk the job through.
When to bring in a 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.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.

The 3 miles around Burcott take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints. Burcott is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.
A healthcare site such as Royal Buckinghamshire Hospital (to the west of Burcott) depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day. Retail sites such as Vale Retail Park (to the south-west of Burcott) have car park, service yard and shop floor joints under constant traffic.

When to call us in Burcott
Weathering wears down sealant on exposed elevations and decks. UV hardens the surface, and the sealant loses its ability to stretch and opens at the next temperature swing.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
- Joints packed with grit and debris
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
At places like The Vale Hundreds Retail Park, 1.4 miles south-west of Burcott, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.
