What the job involves on each surface
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Mortar snots and debris in the joint stop it working. We clear the joint fully before sealing.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast panels often have surface residues that sealant won’t bond to. We prepare the faces thoroughly and prime where the maker calls for it.

Floors, slabs and movement joints in East Horsley
Rainfall across the South East, East Horsley included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints. East Horsley is about 21 miles 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.
In a school such as The Raleigh School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. Warehouse floors on estates like Bookham Industrial Estate, 2.1 miles east of East Horsley, carry pallet trucks and forklifts over every saw-cut joint.

What’s near East Horsley
Around East Horsley, our work takes us to commercial buildings near Howard of Effingham School, The Forest and the Highlands and Duke Of Wellington Public House and the streets around them.

Why deal with it now?
Re-sealing with the same product that failed is often a false economy. If the joint is too narrow or the product wrong for the movement, it needs a different approach. Small buildings around East Horsley suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

When to bring in a 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.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Common questions from East Horsley clients
Do we have to stop operations in East Horsley while the joints are sealed?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Is East Horsley off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
What’s the difference between an expansion joint and a movement joint?
Put simply, it’s a planned break in a wall, slab or deck so the materials can move. Many people call it an expansion joint and both need a flexible seal.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
Can you seal car park deck joints?
Yes. These joints take wheels, salt and water, so product choice matters and broken edges are flagged before sealing.
Do you need to see the site first?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
Our process
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For a site in East Horsley, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

After the work
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
- Note which joints were done, when, and with what
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
Snow ploughs and scrapers catch on joint lines. Raising blades over joints where possible protects the seal, and it’s worth checking joints once the cold weather has passed.
A failed deck joint lets water straight through to the level below. Salty water dripping through stains soffits and lands on parked vehicles and it can affect the structure over time. Resealing early limits the damage.
