Keeping the joints sound
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
- Note which joints were done, when, and with what
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
Keep wheels, feet and water off new joints until the sealant has cured. The time varies with product, conditions and joint depth and we’ll tell you when each bay or area can reopen. Keeping the area coned off until then avoids tyre marks and damage.
Joints sealed at the same time generally fail around the same time. It pays to check every joint, not just the obvious one so you can prioritise and budget. We can suggest an order, worst joints first.

If you have car park joints leaking onto vehicles below and movement joints with split or torn sealant, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Wooden Hill it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.

When to call us in Wooden Hill
Weathering wears down sealant on exposed elevations and decks. In time the bead chalks, stiffens and cracks and opens at the next temperature swing.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
Large sites such as Broadmoor Hospital, 1.5 miles south of Wooden Hill, have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels.

Doing it in-house
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Expansion joint sealing around Wooden Hill: how the place shapes the job
Bracknell, one of the planned towns of the twentieth century, takes in or adjoins Wooden Hill. Its industrial areas were laid out from the start, and units built in the same decades tend to have slabs and movement joints that age in step. Less than 3 miles from Wooden Hill there are at least three named estates and business parks. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest.
Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Bracknell Enterprise Centre (1.8 miles north of Wooden Hill): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time. For a school such as Wooden Hill Primary and Nursery School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.

What affects the price in Wooden Hill
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Sending details for a quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- Access details, including height
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Your programme or deadline
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Why act early in Wooden Hill
On a car park, resealing joints in phases keeps the deck open. Phased work by bay or zone lets the rest stay in use, compared with a full closure. We agree phasing with you before work starts. Older rural buildings around Wooden Hill move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
A quote for movement joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Call for a quote.

Your questions answered
Would you work within a site like Broadmoor Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Wooden Hill, such as Longshot Lane Industrial Estate?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Wooden Hill, Longshot Lane Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email 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 schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
What timescale should we allow for resealing expansion joints?
The metres of joint, the access and the amount of removal decide it. Typically it takes anything from part of a day to a couple of weeks, depending on joint lengths, widths and access.
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.
Do you work in Wooden Hill?
Yes. We take on work across Wooden Hill, with one number for every area we cover.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
From enquiry to sign-off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Rural sites near Wooden Hill may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
