Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Towersey
Floor movement joints in warehouses, retail and public buildings carry wheeled traffic. Unsupported edges break up under wheels. If the arrises are already broken, we will say so before sealing. If you have car park joints leaking onto vehicles below and debris jammed in movement joints, we can put it right, on brickwork movement joints, blockwork control joints and car park decks and ramps alike.

Around smaller places such as Towersey, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Any access equipment needed
- Phasing around occupants
- The size and state of each joint
- Location, for remote and island sites
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Access details, including height
- Any specification or named product
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Any dates the work must fit around
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.

Common questions from Towersey clients
Is Towersey too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Towersey are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Thame Community Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Is colour matching possible?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
What the job involves on each surface
Cladding panel joints
Access to cladding joints is agreed before the price is fixed. Close-up photos help us judge the joints or a site visit fills the gaps.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast panels often have surface residues that sealant won’t bond to. Proper cleaning and primer where specified give a sound bond, so the new seal holds.
When to call us in Towersey
Repeated failure often traces back to the wrong product. A stiff or general-purpose sealant across a joint with large movement won’t cope. Movement capability is set out in BS EN ISO 11600, and specifications often refer to it.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
Sites like Thame Community Hospital (to the west of Towersey) carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints.

Other services in Towersey
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Rural sites near Towersey may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- A fixed quote follows, naming the sealant and its movement class.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Send your site hours and access windows
Ask for a quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

Honest limits
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Brickwork movement joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
Why deal with it now?
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. For buildings around smaller places like Towersey, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
