How we handle expansion joint sealing in Burgh Heath
We have been sealing expansion and movement joints for over 20 years. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and we carry five million pounds of public liability insurance. Workmanship is backed by our 12-month guarantee. If you have leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below and layers of sealant in a movement joint, we can put it right, whatever the surface. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Burgh Heath, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In and around smaller places like Burgh Heath, 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.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Surrey. If an installation problem shows up, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
Debris does more harm to joint sealant than most people realise. Stones pressed into the bead by wheels or feet can puncture it and decks and floors suffer most. Regular sweeping keeps joint lines clear.
An open joint fills with grit, and a joint full of grit can’t close. The edges then take the pressure and start to spall and the reseal becomes an edge repair as well. Keeping the seal sound avoids all of that.
How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- The product specified
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- When you need the work done
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? We’ll quote against your scope and drawings you can plan around. If you have questions first, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself normally taking anything from part of a day to a couple of weeks, depending on joint lengths, widths and access. If others near Burgh Heath need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- A fixed quote follows, naming the sealant and its movement class.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Let us know about inductions and permits
Getting a fixed quote
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Advice
Floors, slabs and movement joints in Burgh Heath
Burgh Heath lies roughly 14 miles out from central London. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day. Burgh Heath sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.
For estates staff at a university like University for the Creative Arts - Epsom, 2.5 miles north-west of Burgh Heath, building and paving joints are part of the planned maintenance list. Retail centres such as The Ashley Centre, 2.8 miles north-west of Burgh Heath, have floors, service yards and car parks with joints under constant traffic. For a school such as Aberdour School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.

Surface by surface
Podium joints
On podiums, the joint can belong to a larger waterproofing detail. We reseal the joint where sealant is the specified fix and flag it if the membrane looks like the source.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Joints between precast panels open and close with temperature and loading. We use a sealant classed for the movement, laid over backing to depth.

Honest limits
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Your questions answered
Is a smaller place like Burgh Heath outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do we have to stop operations in Burgh Heath while the joints are sealed?
Typically not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Why do our movement joints keep failing?
Typically the joint is moving more than the sealant can take. We review the joint design as well as the sealant before pricing.
Do you use silicone or polyurethane in movement joints?
Movement capability matters most as set out in BS EN ISO 11600. Where two different materials meet, a hybrid sealant can be the better choice.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
Why it’s worth doing now in Burgh Heath
A torn seal left alone usually gets worse. Water and debris get in, the joint jams and the edges spall and the job grows to repairs as well as sealing. Acting at the first split keeps the cost down. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Burgh Heath. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote when you’re ready.
