Common questions from Curridge clients
Will you take on work at estates like Red Shute Hill Industrial Estate, close to Curridge?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Curridge, Red Shute Hill Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you work on a hospital site such as West Berkshire Community Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
What if the joint edges are damaged?
Sealant needs sound faces to bond to, so we will tell you if the edges need repairing before sealing. Where it’s visible beforehand, we’ll say so when we quote.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Curridge
If you need expansion joint sealing in Curridge, start with photos and joint lengths. Send them through our quote form, and we’ll arrange a site visit if needed before issuing a fixed quote. To discuss the joints first, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form. Site teams most often ask us about expansion joints filled with dirt and stones and torn sealant in brick or block movement joints, on cladding panel joints, car park decks and ramps and brickwork movement joints. Most enquiries from Curridge start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around smaller places such as Curridge, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

How the job changes by surface
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Vertical movement joints in brick and block walls let the masonry grow and shrink. They take a low-modulus sealant with a movement class to suit laid over backing rod at the correct depth.
Joints between different materials
Some mixed-material joints suit a hybrid sealant. We pick the product for the materials and the movement, and confirm it in the quote.
Doing it in-house
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Warehouse floors and decks around Curridge
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints. Central London is about 52 miles from Curridge. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors.
For a centre such as 9Yards Retail Park (2.9 miles south of Curridge), the service yard and car park joints typically need attention first. At places like Turnpike Road Industrial Estate, 2.4 miles to the south of Curridge, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on. In a school such as Curridge Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.

On site: what to expect
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Rural sites near Curridge may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- A fixed quote follows, naming the sealant and its movement class.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- Where the maker calls for primer, it’s applied first, then the bead goes in and is tooled to a concave finish.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Flag any permit to work we will need
Ask for a quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

Owners, agents and contractors
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Keeping the joints sound
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
Add every elevation, deck and floor joint to your inspection round. Early splits and edges starting to lift show up on a routine check. If anything looks wrong, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with photos.
When one joint fails, others of the same age are rarely far behind. Inspecting the whole run is worth the effort so you can prioritise and budget. We can suggest an order, worst joints first.
Why deal with it now?
Patching the worst lengths of a joint can make sense short term. But if the rest of the run is the same age and product, it’s typically not far behind, and a second visit means paying for access again. We can price a patch and a full reseal side by side. Converted and older buildings near places like Curridge tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
