Expansion joint sealing in Marsh Gibbon
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How accessible the joints are
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
Before you send an enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:

Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
Movement joints belong on the planned maintenance inspection list. Early splits and edges starting to lift show up on a routine check and long before edges start to break. If anything looks wrong, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with photos.
On a multi-storey car park, a failed joint normally shows up as a leak onto the deck underneath. Salty water dripping through stains soffits and lands on parked vehicles, which is bad news for the concrete and the people parking below. Resealing early limits the damage.
Questions we’re asked in Marsh Gibbon
Would you work within a site like Bicester Community Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is Marsh Gibbon too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Do you use silicone or polyurethane in movement joints?
The right product depends on the joint. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many facade joints, while polyurethane is common in trafficked floor and deck joints, and the specification has the final say.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
On site: what to expect
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. If others near Marsh Gibbon need work, visits can be combined. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We assess the joints on site or from photos, noting widths and how each has failed.
- 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.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- 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 what induction or permit system the site runs
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.

What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Cladding panel joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Car park decks and ramps
How the job changes by surface
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Mortar snots and debris in the joint stop it working. We clear the joint fully before sealing, and tell you if the joint looks too narrow for the movement.
Podium joints
On podiums, the joint can belong to a larger waterproofing detail. We reseal the joint where sealant is the specified fix, and tell you if the problem looks like the waterproofing below.
