Why it’s worth doing now in Oxhey
Spot repairs can be useful on a tight budget. The remaining sealant is often close to failing too, and a second visit means paying for access again. Where it helps, we quote both options. Small buildings around Oxhey suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

Oxhey: questions and answers
Do you cover business parks and estates near Oxhey, such as Colne Valley Retail Park?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Oxhey, Colne Valley Retail Park among them, are all within reach. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is a hospital such as Watford General Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can you seal joints in cold or wet weather?
Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range. Cold, damp or frosty mornings can stop work outside, so we plan with the forecast in mind.
Are expansion joints and movement joints the same thing?
The general name is movement joint, and expansion joint is one common type. In everyday use the two names are often swapped and the way they’re sealed is similar.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
What do you charge?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with a description of the work.
Can a joint be sealed if the edges are broken?
Sealant needs sound faces to bond to, so we’ll tell you if the edges need repairing before sealing. Where it’s visible beforehand, we’ll say so when we quote.
Our process
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, and the work usually takes a few hours to several weeks, depending on how many metres of joint there are and how much old sealant or filler needs removing. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Oxhey need work too, visits can be combined. Tell us your site hours and we’ll plan around them.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- Where the maker calls for primer, it’s applied first, then the bead goes in and is tooled to a concave finish.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Agree which areas must stay open

What we can’t put right
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Car park decks and ramps
- Cladding panel joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
Surface by surface
Car park decks and ramps
Water coming through deck joints is the usual first sign. We strip the old seal, prepare the edges and seal again, and we’ll tell you if any edges need repairing first.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Long brick and block elevations have movement joints at intervals. We use a sealant rated for the movement, normally low-modulus.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
