When it isn’t the sealant
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How we handle expansion joint sealing in Goose Hill
Internal floor joints take trolleys, pallet trucks and forklifts. Unsupported edges break up under wheels so the product has to suit both the traffic and the movement. We’ll tell you if the edges need repairing before sealing. If you have weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes and water getting into the wall through a failed joint, we can help, whatever the surface. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Goose Hill it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Goose Hill have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Hampshire. Should something we installed fail, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll come back to it.

Cost factors for movement joints
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- The total length or number of joints
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Which sealant the job calls for
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Sending details for a quote
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Any dates the work must fit around
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
On site: what to expect
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed before the next one starts. For a building around Goose Hill, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- Where the maker calls for primer, it’s applied first, then the bead goes in and is tooled to a concave finish.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Move anything stored against the joints

Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.

Joints that move: notes for Goose Hill
Goose Hill is about 50 miles from central London. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital. Goose Hill sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.
Schools such as Ashford Hill Primary School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook. At places like Colthrop Industrial Estate (2.2 miles north of Goose Hill), joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on. Office parks like Scion Business Park (1.7 miles east of Goose Hill) have decks, ramps and clad elevations whose joints take movement every day.
Goose Hill is about 3 miles south-east of Thatcham, in Hampshire. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Goose Hill use us for work on movement joints. Across Hampshire, 723 places are covered, Goose Hill among them. Reading is covered too, around 12 miles from Goose Hill.
We cover the RG19 postcode districts. Just outside Goose Hill, we also work in Mill Green (1 mile west), Plastow Green (1 mile south-west), Crookham (1 mile north-east), Hyde End (1 mile north-east) and Headley (1 mile west). Bigger towns within reach include Basingstoke (9 miles south-east), Andover (15 miles south-west), Tadley (4 miles east), Hook (13 miles south-east), Popley (8 miles south-east) and Kempshott (9 miles south-east).
Local landmarks in Goose Hill
Recent enquiries here include premises near The Hurst School, Cheam School and The Travellers Friend pub and the streets around them.

Well-known places in the area include West Berkshire Community Hospital (4.1 miles north-west) and Old Chapel Textile Centre (2.3 miles west). Not far away are Thatcham Reed Beds.
Why act early in Goose Hill
Leaving a failed movement joint rarely stays a small problem. Water and debris get in, the joint jams and the edges spall and the job grows to repairs as well as sealing. Acting at the first split keeps the cost down. Converted and older buildings near places like Goose Hill tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you’re ready.

Questions we’re asked in Goose Hill
Is Goose Hill too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you work at a site such as Scion Business Park, by Goose Hill?
Yes. We cover Goose Hill and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Scion Business Park. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Can you work on car park ramps and decks?
Yes. Let us know the opening hours and which levels or bays have to stay available.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. 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.
Can you quote from photographs?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit.
How long before the joints can be used?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
After the work
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
Snow ploughs and scrapers catch on joint lines. Lifting the blade at each joint avoids tearing the bead and a look at the joints after winter catches any damage.
Floor joints with failed fillers break up quickly under wheels. Broken arrises jolt trucks, loads and drivers and the broken length grows with every pass. Sealing early protects the edges.
Different surfaces, different methods
Car park decks and ramps
Water coming through deck joints is the usual first sign. We strip the old seal, prepare the edges and seal again, and we’ll tell you if any edges need repairing first.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast panels often have surface residues that sealant won’t bond to. We prepare the faces thoroughly and prime where the maker calls for it.
