How we handle expansion joint sealing in Dorney
Brickwork and blockwork walls have vertical movement joints at intervals. Once the seal fails, rain reaches the cavity and the joint can no longer close. The old seal comes out, backing goes in and a sealant with the right movement class is applied, primed where the manufacturer specifies. We work on cladding panel joints, precast concrete panel joints and blockwork control joints, and what we’re called in for most is torn sealant in brick or block movement joints and rain penetration at brick or block movement joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Dorney, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Dorney have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Buckinghamshire. Should something we installed fail, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll come back to it.

Honest limits
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)

What the job involves on each surface
Cladding panel joints
We confirm what access is in place before pricing. Photos taken near the joints help us price accurately, or we visit if they don’t show enough.
Podium joints
On podiums, the joint can belong to a larger waterproofing detail. We reseal the joint where sealant is the specified fix, and tell you if the problem looks like the waterproofing below.
From enquiry to sign-off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself typically 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, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For work around Dorney, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Related advice
Why act early in Dorney
Combining joint work with other maintenance reduces set-up costs. Leaking joints need sealing now, as damage continues meanwhile. We can split the scope into urgent and planned. Around Dorney, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Dorney: questions and answers
Is Dorney off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Upton Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
What guarantee do you give on joint sealing?
Each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship. Damage from later works or traffic loads outside the joint’s design isn’t a workmanship fault.
Will you quote for a small job?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
What happens if it rains on the day?
The joint has to be dry, and the air and surface temperature inside the product’s limits. Cold, damp or frosty mornings can stop work outside, so we plan with the forecast in mind.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
What hours do you work?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
What affects the price in Dorney
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Access and working height
- The product specified
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What we need to price the job
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Any specification or named product
- The site address and postcode
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
