Expansion joint sealing in Egham Hythe
Floor movement joints in warehouses, retail and public buildings carry wheeled traffic. Unsupported edges break up under wheels so the product has to suit both the traffic and the movement. If the arrises are already broken, we will say so before sealing and phasing can keep areas working. Site teams most often ask us about joints packed with grit and debris and water dripping through deck or ramp joints, across car park decks and ramps, podiums and floor movement joints and cladding panel joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Egham Hythe it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Around Egham Hythe, most floor and movement joint jobs are single buildings or yards, so we gather photographs and measurements first. That way the right materials come on the day and the job is done in one visit where possible.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Leave it or put it right?
Sealing over a failed movement joint is a common shortcut. A bead over the old seal can’t bond or flex and soon lets go. Full removal and preparation is in every quote. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.

Common questions from Egham Hythe clients
Is a smaller place like Egham Hythe outside your area?
Not at all. Egham Hythe is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Ashford Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Do the joint edges need to be sound before sealing?
Broken arrises have to be put right before resealing. Sealing over them leads to early failure.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit before quoting.
What’s the difference between an expansion joint and a movement joint?
It’s a deliberate gap that lets the structure move without cracking. Many people call it an expansion joint.
What guarantee do you give on joint sealing?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. Tell us right away if a joint we sealed gives trouble in that time.
How soon can the area be used again?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.

Different surfaces, different methods
Internal floor movement joints
Forklift and pallet-truck wheels break unsupported joint edges. We match the product to the traffic and the movement flagging broken arrises before sealing.
Podium joints
Podium decks are exposed and often trafficked. We choose a product that copes with feet, wheels and weather.
Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Egham Hythe
Some joints were never sealed with the right 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.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
For a school such as Thorpe Lea Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.
