How we handle expansion joint sealing in Temple
Buildings and slabs are never completely still: temperature, moisture, shrinkage and loading all make materials grow and shrink. Movement joints are where that movement is absorbed, and the sealant in them keeps water and debris out. We seal and reseal movement joints in walls, panels, decks and floors. Most enquiries involve water dripping through deck or ramp joints and movement joints with split or torn sealant, on podiums and floor movement joints, cladding panel joints and car park decks and ramps. Searching for sealant specialists in Temple? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Temple have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Our process
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. For a building around Temple, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- We assess the joints on site or from photos, noting widths and how each has failed.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
Quotes
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Advice
Your questions answered
Is Temple too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Does your area include sites such as Rashleighs Business Centre, near Temple?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Temple, Rashleighs Business Centre among them, are all within reach. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll plan around them. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it.
What do you charge?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. Send photographs or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
Looking after the joints
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. Keep the handover details, product and date with your O&M records so future maintenance isn’t guesswork.
Once debris packs a failed joint, the structure has nowhere to expand. The arrises crack and break away under the load and the reseal becomes an edge repair as well. A sound seal keeps the joint working.
Should maintenance staff do it?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
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. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Why it’s worth doing now in Temple
Doing joint resealing alongside other planned works can save on access. Leaking joints need sealing now because damage continues. We can split the scope into urgent and planned. Older rural buildings around Temple move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Pricing movement joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you’re working to. Call for a quote.

Traffic, movement and joints around Temple
Temple sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, while winter salting gets into any joint left open. The 3 miles around Temple take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment.
In a school such as Bisham Church of England Academy, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. Another example is Globe Business Park (1.8 miles north-east of Temple), where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers.
Temple is about 2 miles south of Marlow, in Windsor and Maidenhead. Commercial clients in Temple use us for work on movement joints. Our Windsor and Maidenhead coverage takes in 60 places, from busy centres to rural villages. For work in that direction, see our Reading page, about 11 miles away.

When to call us in Temple
The edges of the material can fail rather than the sealant. If the edge of the joint is friable, the bond fails with it, so we tell you if the edges need repairing first.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
