Expansion joint sealing for Rowstock sites
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Some quotes just add sealant over the old bead. A bead laid on top of the failed one neither grips nor flexes properly and soon lets go. We cut out the old seal and prepare the faces every time. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Rowstock, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

Expansion joint sealing in Rowstock
We have been sealing expansion and movement joints for over 20 years, for main contractors, FMs, managing agents and building 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 have expansion joints split through the centre of the bead and joints where the bead has lost adhesion, we can help. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Rowstock, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Around smaller places such as Rowstock, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

What the job involves on each surface
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Mortar snots and debris in the joint stop it working. We clear the joint fully before sealing.
Internal floor movement joints
Floor joints include saw-cut joints and construction joints. Trafficked floor joints often get a semi-rigid filler, with a flexible sealant where movement is larger.
When something else is needed
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer.

Our process
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we are cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. If others near Rowstock need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We start with photographs, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability.
- Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Work for main contractors and building owners
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
What sets the cost
What shapes the price:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Any access equipment needed
- The total length or number of joints
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
What we need to price the job
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Any specification or named product
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
Rowstock: questions and answers
Is a hospital such as Didcot Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Rowstock off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. 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.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
What if the joint edges are damaged?
Broken arrises have to be put right before resealing and we’ll flag every length affected. A bead on a broken edge soon lets go.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
