From enquiry to sign-off
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. Rural sites near Lillingstone Lovell may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- Closed-cell backing rod is set to depth, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints.
- Where the maker calls for primer, it’s applied first, then the bead goes in and is tooled to a concave finish.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Lillingstone Lovell
Buildings and slabs are never completely still: they expand in the heat, shrink as they dry, and shift under load. Expansion and movement joints are built in so the structure can move without cracking, and the sealant in them keeps water and debris out. We seal and reseal movement joints in walls, panels, decks and floors. Most enquiries involve hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades and leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below, across car park decks and ramps, cladding panel joints and precast concrete panel joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Lillingstone Lovell, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around smaller places such as Lillingstone Lovell, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Buckinghamshire. Should something we installed fail, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll come back to it.

What sealant work can’t fix
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work in Lillingstone Lovell
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Brickwork movement joints
- Blockwork control joints
Looking after the joints
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Note which joints were done, when, and with what
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. Keep the handover details, product and date with your O&M records.
Floor joints with failed fillers break up quickly under wheels. Damaged edges make the floor rough and wear wheels faster, and the damage spreads along the joint. Keeping the filler or sealant sound protects the floor.
What sets the cost
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Phasing around occupants
- The total length or number of joints
- Any access equipment needed
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Sending details for a quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
For a fixed quote, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the site address and an outline of the work. You can also send details through our quote form.

What else we do in Lillingstone Lovell
Your questions answered
Is Lillingstone Lovell off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Buckingham Community Hospital, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
How do we ask for a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
Yes, as long as we plan it. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
What will the job cost?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll price it properly.
Can a joint be sealed if the edges are broken?
Spalled edges need repairing before a new seal will last, and we’ll point out where that’s the case. A bead on a broken edge soon lets go.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
Why it’s worth doing now in Lillingstone Lovell
Spot repairs can be useful on a tight budget. But if the rest of the run is the same age and product, it’s usually not far behind and repeated access costs add up. We can price a patch and a full reseal side by side. Halls, stores and units around places like Lillingstone Lovell may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you’re ready.
