Expansion joint sealing in Broadford
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
What happens if it’s left?
Closing a car park for a reseal is rarely an option. Work can be planned so parts of the deck stay open without shutting the whole car park. We agree phasing with you before work starts. Converted and older buildings near places like Broadford tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

- Fully insured, including public liability cover

Joints that move: notes for Broadford
The 3 miles around Broadford take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints. Broadford sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, while winter salting gets into any joint left open.
Parks like Broadford Business Park (less than half a mile south of Broadford) combine paved areas, car parks and building elevations, each with joints that move. Large sites such as Mount Alvernia Hospital, 1.7 miles to the north of Broadford, have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels.

Our process
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Jobs in and around smaller places like Broadford are normally planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- 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.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- Where the maker calls for primer, it’s applied first, then the bead goes in and is tooled to a concave finish.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
Ask for a quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Advice
Building owners, agents and FMs in Broadford
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Broadford can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Surrey.
Honest limits
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We’ll tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Broadford: questions and answers
Do you cover business parks and estates near Broadford, such as Broadford Business Park?
Yes, sites like Broadford Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Broadford. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Mount Alvernia Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can you send site paperwork?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.
Can you seal joints in cold or wet weather?
The joint has to be dry, and the air and surface temperature inside the product’s limits. Frost, rain and condensation on steel or concrete can hold up external work, so we plan with the forecast in mind.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
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.
When to call us in Broadford
Repeated failure often traces back to the wrong product. Products not classed for the movement fail early. Movement capability is set out in BS EN ISO 11600, and specifications often refer to it.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- Joints packed with grit and debris
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
For estates staff at a university like University of Surrey - Stag Hill Campus (2.3 miles north of Broadford), building and paving joints are part of the planned maintenance list.
