Expansion joint sealing for Wrecclesham sites
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Expansion joint sealing in Wrecclesham, done properly
We cover the full range of movement joints: brickwork and blockwork joints, precast and cladding panel joints, concrete joints, car park decks and ramps, podiums and floor movement joints. The product depends on the movement, the weather and anything that runs over it and we name it in the quote. We work on brickwork movement joints, car park decks and ramps and blockwork control joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are water dripping through deck or ramp joints and water getting into the wall through a failed joint. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Wrecclesham it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In a smaller place such as Wrecclesham, floor and movement joints are often in agricultural and rural business units, schools and the odd small industrial yard. Concrete floors and yards in these buildings move and crack like any others.
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.

Questions we are asked in Wrecclesham
Will you take on work at estates like Grovebell Industrial Estate, close to Wrecclesham?
Yes, sites like Grovebell Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Wrecclesham. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Farnham Community Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
What’s the difference between an expansion joint and a movement joint?
Put simply, it’s a planned break in a wall, slab or deck so the materials can move. Expansion joint is a name often used for the same thing.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Do you use silicone or polyurethane in movement joints?
Movement capability matters most as set out in BS EN ISO 11600. Hybrid or MS polymer products suit some mixed-material joints.
Cost factors for movement joints
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Working within restricted access windows
- Access and working height
- The site’s rules and procedures
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What to include in your enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form to discuss it first.
What we’re called out for in Wrecclesham
Sun, rain and frost age external movement joints. In time the bead chalks, stiffens and cracks and opens at the next temperature swing.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
- Debris jammed in movement joints
At places like Coxbridge Business Park, which lies north of Wrecclesham, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Wrecclesham

Our process
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we’re in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. What matters most for a job in Wrecclesham is a clear list of what needs doing, so send photographs of each area. 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.
- 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.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Move anything stored against the joints

Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
Keep wheels, feet and water off new joints until the sealant has cured. How long that takes depends on the product, the temperature and the depth of the joint, and we confirm it for each area before we leave. Keeping the area coned off until then avoids tyre marks and damage.
Unsupported floor joint edges spall under forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Broken arrises jolt trucks, loads and drivers, and the damage spreads along the joint. Keeping the filler or sealant sound protects the floor.

Why it’s worth doing now in Wrecclesham
Sealing over a failed movement joint is a common shortcut. A bead over the old seal can’t bond or flex, so it fails quickly. Full removal and preparation is in every quote. For buildings in places like Wrecclesham, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so we’d suggest renewing all the joints that are going, not just the worst.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
