Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Foxcotte
We cover the full range of movement joints: vertical joints in brick and block facades, joints between precast or cladding panels, concrete slab and deck joints, ramps, podiums and internal floors. The product depends on the movement, the weather and anything that runs over it. The enquiries we see most involve car park joints leaking onto vehicles below and joints where the bead has lost adhesion, on precast concrete panel joints, blockwork control joints and car park decks and ramps. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Foxcotte first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Foxcotte have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
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.

When to call us in Foxcotte
Sun, rain and frost age external movement joints. In time the bead chalks, stiffens and cracks.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
Schools such as Harrow Way Community School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.
Questions to ask before you book
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
What the job involves on each surface
Joints between different materials
Junctions between brick and render, or concrete and cladding, move independently. The product must bond to both substrates and cope with the movement.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Joints between precast panels open and close with temperature and loading. We use a sealant classed for the movement, laid over backing to depth.
Honest limits
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer.

Doing it in-house
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Joint width, depth and condition
- How much existing material needs removing
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Before you send an enquiry
We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Any specification or named product
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.

Foxcotte: questions and answers
Is Foxcotte off your patch?
Not at all. Foxcotte is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Andover War Memorial Hospital, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
What sealant do you use in movement joints?
It depends on the movement, exposure and traffic. Facades often take a low-modulus silicone; floors and decks usually need a polyurethane.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
