Different surfaces, different methods
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Brick and block edges need careful preparation. We clean them back to sound material and prime where the manufacturer specifies.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Concrete edges can be weak or carry release agents that stop adhesion. We prepare the faces thoroughly and prime where the maker calls for it and check the edges for soundness as we go.
When to call us in Longcot
Sun, rain and frost age external movement joints. UV hardens the surface, and the sealant loses its ability to stretch and opens at the next temperature swing.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
For buildings at a park such as Faringdon Business Park, 1.4 miles north of Longcot, brick and panel movement joints are easy to forget until one leaks.

Your questions answered
Does your area include sites such as Faringdon Business Park, near Longcot?
Yes. We cover Longcot and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Faringdon Business Park. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Faringdon Day Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is movement joint sealing guaranteed?
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. The guarantee covers how we sealed, not damage caused afterwards.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Quoting for work in Longcot
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How much there is to seal
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Whether the work must be split into stages
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Sending details for a quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- How the joints are reached, and at what height

When something else is needed
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Car park decks and ramps
- Brickwork movement joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Blockwork control joints
On site: what to expect
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, 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, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Smaller jobs around Longcot can be grouped with others nearby. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability, and flag anything that needs an engineer.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Arrange parking or a loading space
