Expansion joint sealing for businesses in Sandford-on-Thames
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
Movement joints belong on the planned maintenance inspection list. A periodic look picks up tears and lifting before water gets in. Should you spot a problem, you can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and send a picture.
Floor joints with failed fillers break up quickly under wheels. Broken arrises jolt trucks, loads and drivers, and the damage spreads along the joint. Keeping the filler or sealant sound protects the floor.

Questions about Sandford-on-Thames
Is Sandford-on-Thames too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Sandford-on-Thames is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Churchill Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Do you reseal car park expansion joints?
Yes. Deck and ramp joints are resealed with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement, and phased work can be planned so parts of the car park stay in use.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
That depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
What sets the cost
Before we quote, we look at:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The size and state of each joint
- Phasing around occupants
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
Sending details for a quote
However big the job, the same details help:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Your programme or deadline
- The product your specification calls for
- Where the site is, with the postcode
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
How the job changes by surface
Internal floor movement joints
Floor joints include saw-cut joints and construction joints. Trafficked floor joints often get a semi-rigid filler and a flexible sealant where the joint moves more.
Cladding panel joints
We confirm what access is in place before pricing. Close-up photographs help us judge the joints, or we visit if they don’t show enough.

- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure

On site: what to expect
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Jobs in and around smaller places like Sandford-on-Thames are typically planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
What we need from you
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Move anything stored against the joints
