Expansion joint sealing for Great Totham sites
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
General trades versus a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Expansion joint sealing in Great Totham, done properly
If you need expansion joint sealing in Great Totham, start with photographs and joint lengths. We will come and look where photographs don’t show enough, then send a fixed quote that names the sealant. You can also give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form to talk the joints through. If you have water getting into the wall through a failed joint and movement joints with split or torn sealant, we can put it right, whatever the surface. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Great Totham, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Work in a smaller place like Great Totham is typically one building at a time. Getting widths, depths and traffic details up front means one visit, not two.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

What happens if it’s left?
Combining joint work with other maintenance reduces set-up costs. Leaking joints need sealing now, as damage continues meanwhile. Urgent joints now, the rest later, is often the sensible plan. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.
A quote for movement joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you’re working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Different surfaces, different methods
Car park decks and ramps
Car park joints are some of the hardest-working joints in any building. A trafficable sealant suited to the movement goes in, phased so parts of the car park stay open.
Internal floor movement joints
Forklift and pallet-truck wheels break unsupported joint edges. We match the product to the traffic and the movement.
Floors, slabs and movement joints in Great Totham
Rainfall across the South East, Great Totham included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. 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. Great Totham lies roughly 39 miles out from central London. The roads out of London are lined with trade parks and distribution sheds.
Another example is Leigh Industrial Estate, 2.5 miles south of Great Totham, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers. Estates like The Causeway Industrial Estate (2.4 miles south of Great Totham) combine warehouse slabs, yards and loading bays, all with joints under wheels. In a school such as Great Totham Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work usually takes a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases.

- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take.
- Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.

- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.

How the quote is worked out
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- The product specified
- Access and working height
- The total length or number of joints
- Working within restricted access windows
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Details that help us quote
However big the job, the same details help:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Specification clauses that apply
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
