Doing it in-house
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
How we handle expansion joint sealing in South Newington
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 name it in the quote. Most enquiries involve sealant peeling off one face of the joint and torn sealant in brick or block movement joints, across brickwork movement joints, cladding panel joints and podiums and floor movement joints. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in South Newington from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Jobs around smaller places like South Newington are planned so the whole job is done in one visit, with the right materials on hand. Tell us the joint widths if you can, and what drives or walks over them.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Why deal with it now?
Combining joint work with other maintenance reduces set-up costs. Leaking joints need sealing now, as damage continues meanwhile. Urgent joints now, the rest later, is often the sensible plan. Older rural buildings around South Newington move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

When something else is needed
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think before you book.

How a job runs
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work usually takes a short visit for a handful of joints, or several days or more for a car park deck or long runs of facade joints, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Jobs in and around smaller places like South Newington are typically planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability and tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Questions we’re asked in South Newington
Is a hospital such as Horton General Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Do we have to stop operations in South Newington while the joints are sealed?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we will plan from there.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
What exactly is a movement joint?
Movement joint is the broad term for any joint built in to let a structure move. In everyday use the two names are often swapped and the way they’re sealed is similar.
What happens if it rains on the day?
The joint has to be dry, and the air and surface temperature inside the product’s limits. Cold, damp or frosty mornings can stop work outside.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
What will the job cost?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
How the job changes by surface
Cladding panel joints
Metal and composite panels shift considerably as temperatures change. A sealant with the right movement class is chosen.
Joints between different materials
Different materials meeting at a joint rarely move in step. The product must bond to both substrates and cope with the movement priming where the maker calls for it.
