Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Expansion joint sealing in Cliddesden, done properly
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. The enquiries we see most involve previous reseals laid over old sealant and torn sealant in brick or block movement joints, on precast concrete panel joints, cladding panel joints and car park decks and ramps. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Cliddesden first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
For a site near Cliddesden, measurements and photographs up front mean one trip where possible. Tell us the joint widths if you can, and what drives or walks over them.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Joints that move: notes for Cliddesden
Cliddesden sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints. At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Cliddesden. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment.

How a job runs
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work typically takes a short visit for a handful of joints, or several days or more for a car park deck or long runs of facade joints, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. If others near Cliddesden need work, visits can be combined. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take, and flag anything that needs an engineer.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in

Cliddesden: questions and answers
Is Cliddesden too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is colour matching possible?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Can a joint be sealed if the edges are broken?
The edges have to be sound. Where they’ve broken up, we will tell you they need repairing first, so the new seal has something to grip.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.

Why it’s worth doing now in Cliddesden
Sealing over a failed movement joint is a common shortcut. A bead laid on top of the failed one neither grips nor flexes properly, so it fails quickly. We cut out the old seal and prepare the faces every time. Older rural buildings around Cliddesden move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
A quote for movement joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you are working to. Call for a quote.

What sets the cost
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Whether the work must be split into stages
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Sending details for a quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form if you’d rather talk the job through.
After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
- Note which joints were done, when, and with what
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
Movement joints belong on the planned maintenance inspection list. Early splits and edges starting to lift show up on a routine check and long before edges start to break. Should you spot a problem, you can call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and send a picture.
An open joint fills with grit, and a joint full of grit can’t close. The edges then take the pressure and start to spall. A sound seal keeps the joint working.
