Expansion joint sealing in Goring
Floor movement joints in warehouses, retail and public buildings carry wheeled traffic. Without a sound filler, joint edges chip and spall under load. If the arrises are already broken, we will say so before sealing. The enquiries we see most involve arrises breaking up along floor joints and sealant pulling off the joint face, across cladding panel joints, blockwork control joints and car park decks and ramps. For commercial sealant work in Goring, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Around Goring, most floor and movement joint jobs are single buildings or yards. Getting widths, depths and traffic details up front means one visit, not two.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Goring
Repeated failure often traces back to the wrong product. Products not classed for the movement fail early. BS EN ISO 11600 classifies building sealants by movement capability, and specifications often refer to it.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
Schools like Goring Church of England Aided Primary School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their public liability cover
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think.

Traffic, movement and joints around Goring
Central London is about 45 miles from Goring. The roads out of London are lined with trade parks and distribution sheds. Goring is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.
In and around Goring, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.

On site: what to expect
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Goring need work too, visits can be combined. Mention the building’s opening times and we’ll work within them.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- 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.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Questions we’re asked in Goring
Does a site in Goring have to shut while its joints are sealed?
Normally not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we’ll plan from there.
Is Goring too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. 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.
What hours do you work?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
What guarantee do you give on joint sealing?
The workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months from sign-off. Keeping joints clear of debris helps them last.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Are expansion joints and movement joints the same thing?
Put simply, it’s a planned break in a wall, slab or deck so the materials can move. Many people call it an expansion joint.
What will the job cost?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. Send photographs or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
Surface by surface
Concrete and precast panel joints
Concrete edges can be weak or carry release agents that stop adhesion. We prepare the faces thoroughly and prime where the maker calls for it, so the new seal holds.
Internal floor movement joints
Floor joints include saw-cut joints and construction joints. A semi-rigid filler is common in trafficked industrial floors.
Doing it in-house
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
How the quote is worked out
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Whether the work must be split into stages
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
What we need to price the job
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Any dates the work must fit around
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or call 01277 525 020 or email the details over if you’d rather talk the job through.
