Expansion joint sealing near Great Coxwell
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
- Note which joints were done, when, and with what
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
Keep wheels, feet and water off new joints until the sealant has cured. How long that takes depends on the product, the temperature and the depth of the joint, and we confirm it for each area before we leave. Barriers left in place until then protect the finish.
Joints sealed at the same time generally fail around the same time. It pays to check every joint, not just the obvious one so you can prioritise and budget. We will tell you which movement joints need doing now and which can wait.

From enquiry to sign-off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Rural sites near Great Coxwell may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- 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, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

What we are called out for in Great Coxwell
With no backing rod or bond-breaker in place, sealant grips the base of the joint too. Sealant fixed to the base and sides can’t flex, so it tears so backing is set before sealing.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
At places like Shrivenham Hundred Business Park, 2.4 miles to the south-west of Great Coxwell, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.

Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Great Coxwell

Schools such as Faringdon Community College have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook. Hospital campuses such as Faringdon Day Hospital (1.4 miles north-east of Great Coxwell) grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.

When to bring in a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
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 and the job grows to repairs as well as sealing. Resealing early keeps the work to sealant. Converted and older buildings near places like Great Coxwell tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.

Great Coxwell: questions and answers
Is Great Coxwell off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Faringdon Day Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
What if the joint edges are damaged?
A bond is only as strong as the material behind it, so broken or crumbling edges have to be repaired first. Where it’s visible beforehand, we’ll say so when we quote.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Quoting for work in Great Coxwell
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Phasing around occupants
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What we need to price the job
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Access details, including height
- The type of building and who uses it
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings if you’d rather talk the job through.
