Work for main contractors and building owners
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Upper Eddington can sit alongside others in a wider programme across West Berkshire.
Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Upper Eddington
Floor movement joints in warehouses, retail and public buildings carry wheeled traffic. Without a sound filler, joint edges chip and spall under load so the product has to suit both the traffic and the movement. If the arrises are already broken, we will say so before sealing. Site teams most often ask us about torn sealant in brick or block movement joints and car park joints leaking onto vehicles below, across brickwork movement joints, precast concrete panel joints and podiums and floor movement joints. Most enquiries from Upper Eddington start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Upper Eddington have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Upper Eddington as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

How a job runs
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. If others near Upper Eddington need work, visits can be combined. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Move anything stored against the joints
Ask for a quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
Advice
General trades versus a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Cost factors for movement joints
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Any access equipment needed
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Phasing around occupants
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
Sending details for a quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Specification clauses that apply
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we will put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, phone 01277 525 020 or email us.

Questions we are asked in Upper Eddington
Will our site in Upper Eddington have to close for joint sealing?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Does your area include sites such as Charnham Business Park, near Upper Eddington?
Yes. Our area takes in Upper Eddington and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Charnham Business Park included. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
When can you be on site?
We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Will you quote for a small job?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Do the joint edges need to be sound before sealing?
Broken arrises have to be put right before resealing. Sealing over them leads to early failure.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.

When it isn’t the sealant
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Brickwork movement joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Cladding panel joints
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a failed movement joint rarely stays a small problem. Water and debris get in, the joint jams and the edges spall. Acting at the first split keeps the cost down. Around Upper Eddington, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
