Expansion joint sealing in Owslebury Bottom
We have been sealing expansion and movement joints for over 20 years for contractors, facilities managers and owners. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and we carry five million pounds of public liability insurance. Each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship. If you’re dealing with sealant pulling off the joint face and expansion joints split through the centre of the bead, we can put it right. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Owslebury Bottom, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Owslebury Bottom have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

For managing agents and facilities managers
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
On site: what to expect
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Rural sites near Owslebury Bottom may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- We assess the joints on site or from photographs, noting widths and how each has failed.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Getting the site ready
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Arrange parking or a loading space
Quotes
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

Honest limits
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Cladding panel joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints

Common questions from Owslebury Bottom clients
Is Owslebury Bottom too far out for you?
No. Places such as Owslebury Bottom are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you work on a hospital site such as St John's Rooms And Chapel?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
What sealant do you use in movement joints?
It depends on the movement, exposure and traffic. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many facade joints, while polyurethane is common in trafficked floor and deck joints.
What guarantee do you give on joint sealing?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. Tell us straight away if a joint we sealed gives trouble in that time.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
How do we ask for a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.

After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
- Note which joints were done, when, and with what
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
Snow ploughs and scrapers catch on joint lines. Lifting the blade at each joint avoids tearing the bead, and it’s worth checking joints once the cold weather has passed.
On a multi-storey car park, a failed joint typically shows up as a leak onto the deck underneath. That water often carries de-icing salts with it, which is bad news for the concrete and the people parking below. Resealing early limits the damage.
Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Owslebury Bottom
Sun, rain and frost age external movement joints. In time the bead chalks, stiffens and cracks, so it can’t follow the movement any more.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Joints packed with grit and debris
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
A healthcare site such as St John's Rooms And Chapel (to the north-west of Owslebury Bottom) depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.
