About our expansion joint sealing in Dragons Green
If you need expansion joint sealing in Dragons Green, start with photographs and joint lengths. Send them through our quote form, and we will arrange a site visit if needed. To discuss the joints first, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. If you are dealing with debris jammed in movement joints and hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades, we can put it right. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Dragons Green tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In and around smaller places like Dragons Green, 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.

What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How the quote is worked out
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- The size and state of each joint
- Working within restricted access windows
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How accessible the joints are
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Before you send an enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- What the building is and how it’s used
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to discuss it first.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a failed movement joint rarely stays a small problem. Water and debris get in, the joint jams and the edges spall. Acting at the first split keeps the cost down. For buildings around smaller places like Dragons Green, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

When to call us in Dragons Green
Repeated failure often traces back to the wrong product. A stiff or general-purpose sealant across a joint with large movement won’t cope. BS EN ISO 11600 classifies building sealants by movement capability.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
Hospitals like Horsham Hospital (to the north-east of Dragons Green) have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock.
Before you book anyone
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- How joint depth will be controlled
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
Maintenance after handover
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
Every joint we seal is backed by a 12-month guarantee on workmanship. Record which product went into which joints in the building file.
Rain gets into walls through torn brick and block movement joints. The first sign is often a damp patch indoors. Catching it early keeps the water outside.
Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Dragons Green
The 3 miles around Dragons Green take in two named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest. Rainfall across the South East, Dragons Green included, is lower than in many 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.
Across sites such as Southwater Business Park, which lies north-east of Dragons Green, floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working. Business parks such as Pondtail Farm (Business Park), 1.3 miles to the east of Dragons Green, have car parks, paved areas and long brick and panel elevations, all with movement joints.

FAQs: Dragons Green
Is Dragons Green too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Horsham Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Do you reseal car park expansion joints?
Yes. Tell us how the car park is used and which areas must stay open and we’ll plan around them.
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. Cold, damp or frosty mornings can stop work outside, so we plan with the forecast in mind.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Typically, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
