About our expansion joint sealing in Goring-by-Sea
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. Every one calls for a sealant picked for its movement, exposure and traffic. Site teams most often ask us about weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes and debris jammed in movement joints, on precast concrete panel joints, blockwork control joints and podiums and floor 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 Goring-by-Sea, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In a smaller place such as Goring-by-Sea, floor and movement joints are often in agricultural and rural business units, schools and the odd small industrial yard. Their slabs and walls still need movement joints that work.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

How the quote is worked out
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- How accessible the joints are
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Specification clauses that apply
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving a failed movement joint rarely stays a small problem. Water and debris get in, the joint jams and the edges spall. Resealing early keeps the work to sealant. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.

Do you need expansion joint sealing in Goring-by-Sea?
On trafficked joints, wheels and salts do the damage. Tyres and wheels press on the edges and the sealant. A sealant that isn’t trafficable won’t last there.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
In a school such as Goring-By-Sea CofE (Aided) Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
Before you book anyone
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
Honest limits
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems

Questions we’re asked in Goring-by-Sea
Can you work on a hospital site such as Goring Hall Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Our building in Goring-by-Sea is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit before quoting.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
How do I request a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, call 01277 525 020 or email us. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
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.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Warehouse floors and decks around Goring-by-Sea
With the shore within about 1 mile, Goring-by-Sea counts as a coastal location. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner.

For buildings at a park such as Goring Business Park, less than half a mile to the north-east of Goring-by-Sea, brick and panel movement joints are easy to forget until one leaks. Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Gosling Croft Business Centre (2.4 miles north-west of Goring-by-Sea): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time.

Different surfaces, different methods
Joints between different materials
Different materials meeting at a joint rarely move in step. We choose a sealant that grips both faces priming where the maker calls for it.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast and concrete panel joints move daily. The sealant needs the right movement capability and a controlled depth.

Our process
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we are cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. For a job in Goring-by-Sea, the main thing is a clear picture of the work. A fixed quote follows.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- A fixed quote follows, naming the sealant and its movement class.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry.
- Closed-cell backing rod is set to depth, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
