Questions we are asked in Clifton Hampden

Would you work within a site like Abingdon Community Hospital?

Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.

Will you take on work at estates like Abingdon Science Park, close to Clifton Hampden?

Yes, sites like Abingdon Science Park are within our area, along with the rest of Clifton Hampden. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.

How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?

The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.

General trades versus a specialist

Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.

General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.

Owners, agents and contractors

Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.

Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.

After the work

Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:

  • Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
  • Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
  • Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
  • Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant

Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. Keep the handover details, product and date with your O&M records so future maintenance isn’t guesswork.

Unsupported floor joint edges spall under forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Damaged edges make the floor rough and wear wheels faster and the broken length grows with every pass. Sealing early protects the edges.

How a job runs

In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. For work around Clifton Hampden, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.

  1. First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
  2. Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
  3. We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces.
  4. Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
  5. Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
  6. We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.

What we need from you

  • Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
  • Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
  • Flag any permit to work we’ll need

Ask for a quote

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

Expansion joint sealing around Clifton Hampden: how the place shapes the job

Clifton Hampden is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, while winter salting gets into any joint left open. Clifton Hampden has two named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic.

Another example is Radley Road Industrial Estate, which lies north-west of Clifton Hampden, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers. For a school such as Clifton Hampden Church of England Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays. Office parks like Abingdon Science Park (2.5 miles north-west of Clifton Hampden) have decks, ramps and clad elevations whose joints take movement every day.

Different surfaces, different methods

Podium joints

Podiums take foot traffic, planters and weather. A sealant suited to both traffic and exposure is used.

Car park decks and ramps

Car park joints are some of the hardest-working joints in any building. A trafficable sealant suited to the movement goes in with bays done in phases so the car park keeps running.

Why deal with it now?

Spot repairs can be useful on a tight budget. The remaining sealant is often close to failing too. We can price a patch and a full reseal side by side. Around Clifton Hampden, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Send photos of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.

A quote for movement joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Ask us for a fixed quote.
