Expansion joint sealing near Twyford
Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
Our process
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Smaller jobs around Twyford can be grouped with others nearby. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability 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.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Arrange parking or a loading space

About our expansion joint sealing in Twyford
Long runs of brick or block have movement joints built in, and they’re easy to miss until the sealant fails. Once the seal fails, rain reaches the cavity and the joint can no longer close. The old seal comes out, backing goes in and a sealant with the right movement class is applied with primer where the maker calls for it. We work on brickwork movement joints, podiums and floor movement joints and blockwork control joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks and sealant peeling off one face of the joint. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Twyford, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For a site near Twyford, measurements and photographs up front mean one trip where possible. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we will take it from there.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Your questions answered
Is a hospital such as Wessex Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Does your area include sites such as Hazeley Enterprise Park, near Twyford?
Yes. Our area takes in Twyford and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Hazeley Enterprise Park included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Why do our movement joints keep failing?
The common causes are poor preparation, three-sided adhesion, the wrong movement class and weathering. Working out the cause comes first, because the fix differs.
What hours do you work?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
What timescale should we allow for resealing expansion joints?
It typically takes anything from part of a day to a couple of weeks, depending on joint lengths, widths and access. We confirm the timescale with the quote along with the phasing plan.
Do you cover Twyford?
Yes. We cover Twyford, and you can phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email to get started.
When it isn’t the sealant
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Why deal with it now?
A torn seal left alone typically gets worse. Grit and water fill the gap and the material either side breaks up. Acting at the first split keeps the cost down. Halls, stores and units around places like Twyford may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

- Sealant pulling off the joint face
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
- Leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below

Owners, agents and contractors
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Twyford. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
Should maintenance staff do it?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
