Do you need expansion joint sealing in Leigh?
Most movement joint failures come down to the joint stretching further than the sealant can take. Cohesive failure, a split through the centre, usually means the joint or product wasn’t right for the movement. Resealing like for like often fails the same way unless width and product are reviewed.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- Joints packed with grit and debris
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
At places like Chesterfield Business Park, which lies north of Leigh, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.

General trades versus a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Any access equipment needed
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.
Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- The site address and postcode
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Any specification or named product
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
How a job runs
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. Jobs in and around smaller places like Leigh are typically planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Common questions from Leigh clients
Is Leigh too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Leigh are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as East Surrey Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Can you seal car park deck joints?
Yes. Tell us how the car park is used and which areas must stay open.
How much does the work cost?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Do the joint edges need to be sound before sealing?
Broken arrises have to be put right before resealing, and we will point out where that’s the case. A bead on a broken edge soon lets go.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
What else we do in Leigh
What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Car park decks and ramps
