Expansion joint sealing for Tongham sites
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think.

How we handle expansion joint sealing in Tongham
Joint design counts for as much as the sealant itself. Joint width must suit the movement and the movement class of the sealant. For wider joints, the width-to-depth ratio is often around 2:1, as the manufacturer advises, and the bead is tooled so it grips the two faces alone. We work on car park decks and ramps, blockwork control joints and precast concrete panel joints, and what we’re called in for most is hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades and damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Tongham it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Rural business units around smaller places such as Tongham often have new slabs laid inside older buildings. Saw-cut and construction joints in those floors need the right filler or sealant for the forklifts and trolleys that use them.

Our process
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before the next one starts. What matters most for a job in Tongham is a clear list of what needs doing. You will then get a fixed price for the work.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- A fixed quote follows, naming the sealant and its movement class.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- Closed-cell backing rod is set to depth, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints.
- Where the maker calls for primer, it’s applied first, then the bead goes in and is tooled to a concave finish.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Let us know about inductions and permits

How the job changes by surface
Podium joints
Podium joints often sit within a waterproofing system. Where the specification calls for sealant, we reseal, and tell you if the problem looks like the waterproofing below.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Joints between precast panels open and close with temperature and loading. The sealant needs the right movement capability and a controlled depth.

What else we do in Tongham
Doing it in-house
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.
Floors, slabs and movement joints in Tongham
At about 33 miles from central London, Tongham is within reach of the capital. The roads out of London are lined with trade parks and distribution sheds, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day. The 3 miles around Tongham take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest.
University campuses such as University for the Creative Arts (3.3 miles west of Tongham) have car parks, paved walkways and building elevations with movement joints. Retail centres such as Westgate Shopping Centre (1.9 miles north-west of Tongham) have floors, service yards and car parks with joints under constant traffic. Sites like Farnham Community Hospital (to the west of Tongham) carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints.

For managing agents and facilities managers
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Tongham can form part of a wider programme.
Your questions answered
Would you work within a site like Farnham Community 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.
Is a smaller place like Tongham outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
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 us. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
What will the job cost?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll price it properly.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Which product is best for expansion joints?
The right product depends on the joint. Facades often take a low-modulus silicone; floors and decks normally need a polyurethane, and the specification has the final say.
Leave it or put it right?
A like-for-like reseal of a joint that keeps splitting rarely lasts. If the joint is too narrow or the product wrong for the movement, it needs a different approach, and we’ll say so before quoting. Small buildings around Tongham suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
