About our expansion joint sealing in East Hagbourne
We cover the full range of movement joints: brickwork and blockwork joints, precast and cladding panel joints, concrete joints, car park decks and ramps, podiums and floor movement joints. The product depends on the movement, the weather and anything that runs over it, and we will confirm the choice in the quote. We work on car park decks and ramps, blockwork control joints and brickwork movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are new sealant over old, now failing and leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below. Looking for mastic applicators who cover East Hagbourne? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around East Hagbourne have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

After the work
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
Keep wheels, feet and water off new joints until the sealant has cured. How long that takes depends on the product, the temperature and the depth of the joint and we will tell you when each bay or area can reopen. Barriers left in place until then protect the finish.
Unsupported floor joint edges spall under forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Broken arrises jolt trucks, loads and drivers and the broken length grows with every pass. Sealing early protects the edges.
Cost factors for movement joints
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- How much existing material needs removing
- The size and state of each joint
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Which sealant the job calls for
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Details that help us quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
Honest limits
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Slabs, ramps and loading bays in East Hagbourne
Central London is about 50 miles from East Hagbourne. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift. East Hagbourne sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, while winter salting gets into any joint left open.
Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Southmead Industrial Estate (1.9 miles north of East Hagbourne): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time. Hospitals like Didcot Hospital (1.1 miles north-west of East Hagbourne) have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock. In a school such as Hagbourne Church of England Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.

How the job changes by surface
Cladding panel joints
Cladding panels move more than masonry as they heat and cool. The joints need a low-modulus sealant with enough movement capability, and we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast and concrete panel joints move daily. We use a sealant classed for the movement, laid over backing to depth.
Your questions answered
Is Market Place Shopping Centre, near East Hagbourne, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around East Hagbourne, Market Place Shopping Centre among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is East Hagbourne too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
Can a joint be sealed if the edges are broken?
Sound edges are essential. If they’re damaged, we’ll say so before any sealing.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
Can you seal joints in cold or wet weather?
Sealing onto a damp surface leads to adhesion failure, so external work waits for suitable conditions. We agree a revised date with you.
