Owners, agents and contractors
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Blockwork control joints
Common problems we fix in Stockcross
The edges of the material can fail rather than the sealant. If the edge of the joint is friable, the bond fails with it.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
- Chipped joint edges on forklift routes
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
Across sites such as Riverpark Industrial Estate, 2.9 miles east of Stockcross, floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working.
Before you book anyone
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
Leave it or put it right?
Spot repairs can be useful on a tight budget. The remaining sealant is often close to failing too and repeated access costs add up. We can price a patch and a full reseal side by side. Halls, stores and units around places like Stockcross may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

Your questions answered
Is Stockcross too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Stockcross are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Is a hospital such as West Berkshire Community Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
What happens if it rains on the day?
Outside work depends on conditions because a damp or frozen joint won’t take a proper bond. Indoor joints can usually carry on regardless.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
How soon can the area be used again?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
How a job runs
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we’re in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. If others near Stockcross need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We start with photographs, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take 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.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Aftercare for building managers
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
- Check joints after long freezing spells
Debris does more harm to joint sealant than most people realise. Grit trodden or driven into the joint works at the surface until it tears. A routine sweep is the simplest protection.
Floor joints with failed fillers break up quickly under wheels. Damaged edges make the floor rough and wear wheels faster. Keeping the filler or sealant sound protects the floor.
