Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Crockham Hill
For movement joints in Crockham Hill, photos and approximate lengths are the best start. Send them through our quote form, and we will arrange a site visit if needed before issuing a fixed quote. You can also phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email to talk the joints through. We work on precast concrete panel joints, podiums and floor movement joints and cladding panel joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are brittle, chalky sealant on external joints and previous reseals laid over old sealant. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Crockham Hill, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Crockham Hill have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Where floor joints take the most wear near Crockham Hill
Crockham Hill lies roughly 19 miles out from central London. 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. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.
Hospital campuses such as Tandridge Priory (to the north-west of Crockham Hill) grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old. For floors and slabs around Crockham Hill, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint.

Common questions from Crockham Hill clients
Is Crockham Hill too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. 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.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Tandridge Priory?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Can a joint be sealed if the edges are broken?
Spalled edges need repairing before a new seal will last, and we’ll point out where that’s the case. A bead on a broken edge soon lets go.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
What’s the difference between an expansion joint and a movement joint?
It’s a deliberate gap that lets the structure move without cracking. Expansion joint is a name often used for the same thing, and either way it needs a sound seal.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Crockham Hill
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Our process
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Rural sites near Crockham Hill may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- 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 flag anything that needs an engineer.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- 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.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
Quotes

How the job changes by surface
Internal floor movement joints
Forklift and pallet-truck wheels break unsupported joint edges. The right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement protects them.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
A brick movement joint full of old mortar or debris can’t close. We clear the joint fully before sealing and flag any joint that seems undersized.
Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
Snow ploughs and scrapers catch on joint lines. Lifting the blade at each joint avoids tearing the bead.
A failed deck joint lets water straight through to the level below. That water often carries de-icing salts with it. Sealing the joint promptly stops it at source.
What sets the cost
What shapes the price:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- The product specified
- How accessible the joints are
- How much existing material needs removing
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
What to include in your enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The product your specification calls for
- Where the site is, with the postcode
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
