How Much Does Expansion Joint Sealing Cost?
Expansion joint sealing typically costs between £15 and £30 per linear metre. This price range depends on several factors: the type of sealant used, such as polyurethane or silicone, the complexity of the joint access, and the overall size of the project.
For instance, polyurethane sealants are often employed for exterior applications due to their UV resistance, while silicone sealants are suitable for indoor use where flexibility is crucial. The difficulty of accessing joints, especially in multi-storey buildings or where scaffolding is required, can also affect costs.
Additionally, large-scale projects might benefit from economies of scale, potentially reducing per-metre costs. We adhere to industry standards, ensuring every sealed joint withstands both thermal movement and mechanical stress.

How Long Does Expansion Joint Sealing Last?
Expansion joint sealing can typically last up to 10 to 20 years, depending on the sealing material and environmental conditions. We use different types of sealants, including polyurethane and silicone-based ones, which are chosen for their resilience and flexibility.
Proper application using equipment like caulking guns and precision applicators ensures that the sealant adheres effectively to the joint surfaces. Regular checks for wear and tear are crucial, especially in high-traffic areas or industrial settings where joints are exposed to oils and abrasives.
Factors such as exposure to weather, temperature fluctuations, and chemical exposure can impact durability. We also follow industry standards such as ASTM C920 for material specifications and application guidelines.
We provide advice on maintaining your seals for optimal performance. Contact us to ensure your expansion joints remain effective for years to come.
