Expansion joint sealing in Brockham
The seal is what lets a movement joint do its job. When the sealant splits or lets go, the gap fills with dirt and water. Dealt with early, it stays a sealant job rather than a concrete or masonry repair. Most enquiries involve layers of sealant in a movement joint and sealant peeling off one face of the joint, across cladding panel joints, blockwork control joints and brickwork movement joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Brockham is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In and around smaller places like Brockham, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

What we can’t put right
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Where floor joints take the most wear near Brockham
Two named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Brockham. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment. At about 20 miles from central London, Brockham is within reach of the capital. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day.
Another example is Glebelands Centre Business Park (2.5 miles west of Brockham), where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers. For a school such as North Downs Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays. A healthcare site such as Dorking Community Hospital (2.3 miles west of Brockham) depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.

On site: what to expect

With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. If others near Brockham need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability 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.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.

General trades versus a specialist
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.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Common questions from Brockham clients
Do you cover business parks and estates near Brockham, such as Chesterfield Business Park?
Yes. We cover Brockham and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Chesterfield Business Park. 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 Dorking Community Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
How much does the work cost?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. Send photographs or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
Do you take on small jobs?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
Why has the sealant in our expansion joints split?
Most often the movement is too much for the product or the joint width. We review the joint design as well as the sealant before pricing, rather than replacing like for like.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, as long as we plan it. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
Floor joints on main traffic routes need watching more closely than the rest. Avoid standing heavy loads or racking legs on the joints.
When one joint fails, others of the same age are rarely far behind. It pays to check every joint, not just the obvious one. We’ll tell you which movement joints need doing now and which can wait.
What the job involves on each surface
Cladding panel joints
Metal and composite panels shift considerably as temperatures change. A sealant with the right movement class is chosen in a colour confirmed for that product.
Podium joints
On podiums, the joint can belong to a larger waterproofing detail. Where the specification calls for sealant, we reseal and flag it if the membrane looks like the source.
