Expansion joint sealing in Bury's Bank
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
What sets the cost
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- The site’s rules and procedures
Pricing movement joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you are working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.
What to include in your enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Specification clauses that apply
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The type of building and who uses it

Expansion joint sealing in Bury's Bank, done properly
Joints in car park decks and ramps are among the hardest-working in any building. Tyres load the edges, and de-icing salts and water work into any gap; water dripping through to the deck below is often the first sign. A sealant suited to traffic and the expected movement goes in and the work can be phased so parts of the car park stay open. We work on blockwork control joints, precast concrete panel joints and car park decks and ramps, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are car park joints leaking onto vehicles below and expansion joints filled with dirt and stones. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Bury's Bank, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
For a site near Bury's Bank, measurements and photographs up front mean one trip where possible, with the right materials on hand. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we will take it from there.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure

FAQs: Bury's Bank
Is Bury's Bank too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Bury's Bank is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you work on a hospital site such as West Berkshire Community Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Are expansion joints and movement joints the same thing?
The general name is movement joint, and expansion joint is one common type. In everyday use the two names are often swapped.
How the job changes by surface
Podium joints
Podium joints often sit within a waterproofing system. Where the specification calls for sealant, we reseal and flag it if the membrane looks like the source.
Cladding panel joints
Access to cladding joints is agreed before the price is fixed. Close-up photographs help us judge the joints.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Jobs in and around smaller places like Bury's Bank 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.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry.
- Closed-cell backing rod is set to depth, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
Getting a fixed quote
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, call 01277 525 020 or email us.
Advice
Why act early in Bury's Bank
Re-sealing with the same product that failed is often a false economy. If the joint is too narrow or the product wrong for the movement, it needs a different approach. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Bury's Bank. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
