What the job involves on each surface
Car park decks and ramps
Car park joints are some of the hardest-working joints in any building. A trafficable sealant suited to the movement goes in, phased so parts of the car park stay open.
Internal floor movement joints
Floor joints include saw-cut joints and construction joints. Trafficked floor joints often get a semi-rigid filler.
About our expansion joint sealing in Pangbourne
Our movement joint work takes in walls, panels, decks and floors: vertical joints in brick and block facades, joints between precast or cladding panels, concrete slab and deck joints, ramps, podiums and internal floors. The product depends on the movement, the weather and anything that runs over it, and we will confirm the choice in the quote. The enquiries we see most involve water getting into the wall through a failed joint and chipped joint edges on forklift routes, on brickwork movement joints, blockwork control joints and precast concrete panel joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Pangbourne is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around Pangbourne, most floor and movement joint jobs are single buildings or yards. That way the right materials come on the day and the job is done in one visit where possible.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Why act early in Pangbourne
Some quotes just add sealant over the old bead. A bead over the old seal can’t bond or flex, so it fails quickly. Full removal and preparation is in every quote. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.

What sets the cost
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Access and working height
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Working within restricted access windows
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
Pricing movement joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.
What we need to price the job
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Access details, including height
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Any dates the work must fit around
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Questions we’re asked in Pangbourne
Can you work at a site such as Turnhams Green Business Park, by Pangbourne?
Yes. Our area takes in Pangbourne and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Turnhams Green Business Park included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is Pangbourne too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
When can you be on site?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Can a joint be sealed if the edges are broken?
The edges have to be sound. Where they’ve broken up, we’ll tell you they need repairing first, so the new seal has something to grip.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
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 unless the specification names something else.
Joints that move: notes for Pangbourne
Pangbourne has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic. At about 43 miles from central London, Pangbourne is within reach of the capital. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift.
In a school such as Pangbourne Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. Business parks such as Turnhams Green Business Park, 2.8 miles to the south of Pangbourne, have car parks, paved areas and long brick and panel elevations, all with movement joints. Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Pincents Kiln Industrial Park (2.8 miles south of Pangbourne): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time.

On site: what to expect
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Several jobs near Pangbourne can be grouped on one trip. Mention the building’s opening times and we will work within them.
- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry.
- Closed-cell backing rod is set to depth, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Make sure the joints can be reached

When something else is needed
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
