About expansion joint sealing in Surrey

We cover the full range of movement joints: vertical joints in brick and block facades, joints between precast or cladding panels, concrete slab and deck joints, ramps, podiums and internal floors. Every one calls for a sealant picked for its movement, exposure and traffic. Most enquiries involve damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed and debris jammed in movement joints, across car park decks and ramps, blockwork control joints and brickwork movement joints.

Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself usually takes a few hours to several weeks, depending on how many metres of joint there are and how much old sealant or filler needs removing, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go.

We start with photos, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take 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.
Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.

Floors, slabs and movement joints across Surrey

Across Surrey, warehouse floors, loading bays and car parks in places such as Guildford, Woking and Camberley carry joints that take constant loads. Each joint needs a product suited to what runs over it and how much it moves.

Around the motorway corridors of the South East, business parks and industrial estates are common, and we cover Surrey along with the rest of the region.

Guildford: For a store at a site such as Ladymead Retail Park, which lies north-west of Guildford, the service yard and goods-in area are where joints break down first. At places like Midleton Enterprise Park, which lies west of Guildford, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.

Owners, agents and contractors

Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.

Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.

Surface by surface

Car park decks and ramps

Failed deck joints often show as leaks on the level below. The old seal comes out, the edges are prepared and the joint resealed flagging broken edges along the way.

Concrete and precast panel joints

Precast panels often have surface residues that sealant won’t bond to. We prepare the faces thoroughly and prime where the maker calls for it, so the new seal holds.

Keeping the joints sound

Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:

Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter

Floor joints on main traffic routes need watching more closely than the rest. Keep racking feet and heavy point loads off joint lines.

Joints sealed at the same time generally fail around the same time. Inspecting the whole run is worth the effort. We will tell you which movement joints need doing now and which can wait.

Signs you need expansion joint sealing

The edges of the material can fail rather than the sealant. If the edge of the joint is friable, the bond fails with it so edge repair has to come before resealing.

Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:

Sealant pulling off the joint face
Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
Chipped joint edges on forklift routes

What happens if it’s left?

A torn seal left alone usually gets worse. Grit and water fill the gap and the material either side breaks up and the job grows to repairs as well as sealing. Resealing early keeps the work to sealant.

Your questions answered

How long before the joints can be used?

Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.

Are you fully insured?

Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.

How do I request a quote?

There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.

What about RAMS and site documents?

Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.

Can you seal joints in cold or wet weather?

Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range. Cold, damp or frosty mornings can stop work outside so external dates keep some flexibility.

Will you come and look before quoting?

It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.

How long does movement joint sealing take?

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.
