How we handle expansion joint sealing in Dedworth
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 comes out, backing goes in and a sealant with the right movement class is applied. We work on cladding panel joints, podiums and floor movement joints and blockwork control joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks and expansion joints filled with dirt and stones. Whoever orders the work in Dedworth, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Small units near places like Dedworth are often converted farm buildings with new concrete floors. Saw-cut and construction joints in those floors need the right filler or sealant for the forklifts and trolleys that use them.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Dedworth as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

How a job runs
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work normally 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. For a job in Dedworth, the main thing is a clear picture of the work, so send photographs of each area. You’ll then get a fixed price for the work.
- We assess the joints on site or from photographs, noting widths and how each has failed.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

What else we do in Dedworth
Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Dedworth
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.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
Campuses like Imperial College Silwood Park Campus (4.6 miles south of Dedworth) mix old and new buildings, with movement joints wherever they meet.
Questions to ask before you book
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What sets the cost
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Phasing around occupants
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Which sealant the job calls for
- The site’s rules and procedures
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
What we need to price the job
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Specification clauses that apply
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Your programme or deadline
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

Questions we are asked in Dedworth
Will you take on work at estates like Bray Business Centre, close to Dedworth?
Yes. Our area takes in Dedworth and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Bray Business Centre included. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you work on a hospital site such as King Edward VII Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Are expansion joints and movement joints the same thing?
It’s a deliberate gap that lets the structure move without cracking. Many people call it an expansion joint.
Can you work on car park ramps and decks?
Yes. These joints take wheels, salt and water, so product choice matters.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
How much does the work cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with a description of the work.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
After the work
After handover, these steps help:
- Check joints after long freezing spells
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
In warehouses, forklift and pallet-truck routes take the most wear. Avoid standing heavy loads or racking legs on the joints.
A failed deck joint lets water straight through to the level below. That water often carries de-icing salts with it. Sealing the joint promptly stops it at source.
