Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Expansion joint sealing in Enslow
Long runs of brick or block have movement joints built in. Once the seal fails, rain reaches the cavity and the joint can no longer close. The old seal is cut away, backing rod goes in at depth, and a low-modulus masonry sealant is gunned and tooled with primer where the maker calls for it. If you have rain penetration at brick or block movement joints and brittle, chalky sealant on external joints, we can help, on blockwork control joints, podiums and floor movement joints and brickwork movement joints alike. For commercial sealant work in Enslow, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
In and around smaller places like Enslow, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:

- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems

Doing it in-house
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Why act early in Enslow
Doing joint resealing alongside other planned works can save on access. Leaking joints need sealing now, as damage continues meanwhile. We can split the scope into urgent and planned. Older rural buildings around Enslow move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

FAQs: Enslow
Is Oxford Spires Business Park, near Enslow, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Enslow and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Oxford Spires Business Park included. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Does a site in Enslow have to shut while its joints are sealed?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
What sealant do you use in movement joints?
We choose a sealant with a movement capability that suits the joint. Where two different materials meet, a hybrid sealant can be the better choice.
How do you choose the sealant?
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.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
How long before the joints can be used?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
What sets the cost
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- The total length or number of joints
- Any access equipment needed
- Phasing around occupants
- Joint width, depth and condition
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What we need to price the job
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- The product your specification calls for
For a fixed quote, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us with the site address and an outline of the work. You can also send details through our quote form.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Enslow. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
How a job runs
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work normally takes a few hours to several weeks, depending on how many metres of joint there are and how much old sealant or filler needs removing. Rural sites near Enslow may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- We assess the joints on site or from photos, noting widths and how each has failed.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
What we need from you
