About our expansion joint sealing in Little Tew
Our movement joint work takes in walls, panels, decks and floors: brickwork and blockwork joints, precast and cladding panel joints, concrete joints, car park decks and ramps, podiums and floor movement joints. The product depends on the movement, the weather and anything that runs over it. If you are dealing with hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades and water getting into the wall through a failed joint, we can put it right, whatever the surface. For commercial sealant work in Little Tew, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Little Tew have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Common problems we fix in Little Tew
Repeated failure often traces back to the wrong product. A stiff or general-purpose sealant across a joint with large movement won’t cope. BS EN ISO 11600 classifies building sealants by movement capability, and specifications often refer to it.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- New sealant over old, now failing
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
Estates like Enstone Airfield Industrial Estate, 2 miles south of Little Tew, combine warehouse slabs, yards and loading bays, all with joints under wheels.
What your quote should include
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- What site paperwork they can supply
Your questions answered
Is a smaller place like Little Tew outside your area?
No. Places such as Little Tew are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you work at a site such as Enstone Airfield Industrial Estate, by Little Tew?
Yes, sites like Enstone Airfield Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Little Tew. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can you seal car park deck joints?
Yes. We use a sealant designed for wheel loads and the expected movement with bays phased so the car park keeps operating.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, and bigger or more complex jobs typically get a visit.
What happens if it rains on the day?
A wet joint can’t be sealed properly so we’d rather rearrange than seal in the rain. We agree a revised date with you.
Why act early in Little Tew
A failed joint seal doesn’t mean the slab, panel or wall needs replacing. Where the edges are sound, cutting out and resealing is enough. If the edges have broken up, we will tell you they need repairing first. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Little Tew. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Why appoint us
- Over 20 years of commercial sealing
- CSCS-carded applicators
- One phone line for London, the South East and Scotland
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows

What sealant work can’t fix
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Car park decks and ramps
- Blockwork control joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Precast concrete panel joints

Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off.

Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.

- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
