About our expansion joint sealing in Coombe
We have been sealing expansion and movement joints for over 20 years, for main contractors, FMs, managing agents and building owners. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, we’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and we carry five million pounds of public liability insurance. Each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship. If you have sealant pulling off the joint face and rain penetration at brick or block movement joints, we can help, on precast concrete panel joints, podiums and floor movement joints and brickwork movement joints alike. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Coombe from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Coombe have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
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.

Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Coombe
Coombe 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 about 34 miles from central London, Coombe is within reach of the capital. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift.
Sites like The Paddocks Hospital, 2.5 miles south-west of Coombe, carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints. At places like Weston Way Industrial Estate (2.7 miles north of Coombe), joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.
Coombe is about 5 miles south of Aylesbury, in Buckinghamshire. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Coombe can call on us for movement joints, as part of our coverage of Buckinghamshire.

Surface by surface
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast and concrete panel joints move daily. The sealant needs the right movement capability and a controlled depth.
Car park decks and ramps
Deck and ramp joints take tyre loads, grit and de-icing salts. A trafficable sealant suited to the movement goes in, phased so parts of the car park stay open.

When to call us in Coombe
When a bead pulls away from one face, it has lost adhesion. Poor preparation, a skipped primer, or sealant bonded to the back of the joint are typical reasons, and it’s common on joints sealed in a hurry.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- New sealant over old, now failing
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
Office parks like Station Approach Business Park, 1.5 miles north-east of Coombe, have decks, ramps and clad elevations whose joints take movement every day.
What to look for in a quote
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
Doing it in-house
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Why it’s worth doing now in Coombe
A failed joint seal doesn’t mean the slab, panel or wall needs replacing. If the material either side is sound, a properly prepared reseal restores the joint. If the edges have broken up, we’ll tell you they need repairing first. Older rural buildings around Coombe move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

- CHAS accredited
- Fixed quotes based on photographs, drawings or a visit

When it isn’t the sealant
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in

On site: what to expect
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. Jobs in and around smaller places like Coombe are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
