When to call us in Crockham Heath
Some joints were never sealed with the right product. Products not classed for the movement fail early. BS EN ISO 11600 classifies building sealants by movement capability, and specifications often refer to it.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
- Chipped joint edges on forklift routes
Schools like Enborne C.E. Primary School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.

Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Crockham Heath
Our movement joint work takes in walls, panels, decks and floors: vertical joints in brick and block facades, joints between precast or cladding panels, concrete slab and deck joints, ramps, podiums and internal floors. Every one calls for a sealant picked for its movement, exposure and traffic, and we’ll confirm the choice in the quote. If you have torn sealant in brick or block movement joints and sealant peeling off one face of the joint, we can help, on cladding panel joints, precast concrete panel joints and blockwork control joints alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Crockham Heath, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Around smaller places such as Crockham Heath, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Precast concrete panel joints

FAQs: Crockham Heath
Is Crockham Heath too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Crockham Heath is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you work on a hospital site such as West Berkshire Community Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
What hours do you work?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Is movement joint sealing guaranteed?
The workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months from sign-off, and we are fully insured for public liability. Regular sweeping and inspection help the joints last.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Leave it or put it right?
Resealing is normally the answer, not replacing the element. Where the edges are sound, cutting out and resealing is enough. If the edges have broken up, we’ll tell you they need repairing first. Converted and older buildings near places like Crockham Heath tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
Floor joints on main traffic routes need watching more closely than the rest. Keep racking feet and heavy point loads off joint lines.
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, turning a sealant job into a repair job. Keeping the seal sound avoids all of that.
