Expansion joint sealing across Tangley
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The product specified
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
Sending details for a quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- The product your specification calls for
- The postcode of the building
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Expansion joint sealing in Tangley
A movement joint only works while its seal does. When the sealant splits or lets go, the gap fills with dirt and water; the joint jams, its edges take the load and the arrises spall. Resealing at the first signs of failure is far cheaper than repairing the material either side. We work on cladding panel joints, precast concrete panel joints and car park decks and ramps, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are expansion joints split through the centre of the bead and spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Tangley is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Jobs around smaller places like Tangley 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.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Tangley
When a bead pulls away from one face, it has lost adhesion. Poor preparation, a skipped primer, or sealant bonded to the back of the joint are typical reasons and it often shows on rushed work.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
Large sites such as Andover War Memorial Hospital, 4.3 miles to the south of Tangley, have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels.

What happens if it’s left?
On a car park, resealing joints in phases keeps the deck open. Work can be planned so parts of the deck stay open. Tell us what has to stay open and we’ll plan around it. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Tangley, rather than one at a time. Send photos of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.

On site: what to expect
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work usually takes anything from part of a day to a couple of weeks, depending on joint lengths, widths and access, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Jobs in and around smaller places like Tangley are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take, and flag anything that needs an engineer.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- 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
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Tangley

External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint. Central London is about 64 miles from Tangley.

When to bring in a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Honest limits
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What else we do in Tangley
Tangley: questions and answers
Will our site in Tangley have to close for joint sealing?
In the majority of cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Andover War Memorial Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
How do we ask for a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
Can you send site paperwork?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Can you seal car park deck joints?
Yes. Tyre loads, grit and de-icing salts make these some of the hardest joints to keep sealed, and we’ll tell you if any edges need repairing first.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
What do you charge?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. Send photographs or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
