About our expansion joint sealing in Little Sandhurst
The seal is what lets a movement joint do its job. Once it fails, water, grit and debris get in, the joint can’t close properly and its edges begin to crumble. Resealing at the first signs of failure is far cheaper than repairing the material either side. Site teams most often ask us about expansion joints filled with dirt and stones and rain penetration at brick or block movement joints, on precast concrete panel joints, car park decks and ramps and cladding panel joints. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Little Sandhurst? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Around places the size of Little Sandhurst, joints that need sealing tend to be in rural business units, farm buildings put to commercial use, schools and community buildings. Concrete floors and yards in these buildings move and crack like any others.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will arrange a return visit.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. What matters most for a job in Little Sandhurst is a clear list of what needs doing. You will then get a fixed price for the work.
- We start with photos, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability and tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- 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.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Send your site hours and access windows
Quotes
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Advice
Common questions from Little Sandhurst clients
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Broadmoor Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is Little Sandhurst too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. 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.
Will you come and look before quoting?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
What’s the difference between an expansion joint and a movement joint?
The terms overlap a great deal. Both let materials grow and shrink with temperature, moisture and load, and the seal across it keeps water and debris out.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
How much does the work cost?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Little Sandhurst
Re-sealing with the same product that failed is often a false economy. A higher movement class, or a design change by the engineer, may be needed and we’ll tell you honestly. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
A quote for movement joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you are working to. Call for a quote.

Aftercare for building managers
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
- Check joints after long freezing spells
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
Add every elevation, deck and floor joint to your inspection round. A periodic look picks up tears and lifting before water gets in. If anything looks wrong, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with photos.
An open joint fills with grit, and a joint full of grit can’t close. The edges then take the pressure and start to spall, turning a sealant job into a repair job. Keeping the seal sound avoids all of that.
Quoting for work in Little Sandhurst
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- The size and state of each joint
- How much there is to seal
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Working within restricted access windows
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.

A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Your programme or deadline
- The type of building and who uses it
- Where the site is, with the postcode
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with what you know.

Internal floor movement joints
Wheeled traffic chips floor joint edges that aren’t supported. We match the product to the traffic and the movement flagging broken arrises before sealing.
Joints between different materials
Hybrid or MS polymer sealants bond to many substrates. The choice depends on the substrates and how much the joint moves, and confirm it in the quote.
