Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
Add every elevation, deck and floor joint to your inspection round. A periodic look picks up tears and lifting before water gets in, when they’re still cheap to deal with. Should you spot a problem, you can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and send a picture.
Floor joints with failed fillers break up quickly under wheels. Broken arrises jolt trucks, loads and drivers, and the damage spreads along the joint. Sealing early protects the edges.
Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Epsom Downs
Brickwork and blockwork walls have vertical movement joints at intervals, and they’re easy to miss until the sealant fails. Failed sealant here lets rain into the wall and can leave the joint full of debris. The old seal is cut away, backing rod goes in at depth, and a low-modulus masonry sealant is gunned and tooled, primed where the manufacturer specifies. We work on cladding panel joints, podiums and floor movement joints and car park decks and ramps, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are torn sealant in brick or block movement joints and rain penetration at brick or block movement joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Epsom Downs tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
For a site near Epsom Downs, measurements and photographs up front mean one trip where possible, with the right materials on hand. Tell us the joint widths if you can, and what drives or walks over them.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

What else we do in Epsom Downs
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Smaller jobs around Epsom Downs can be grouped with others nearby. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- A fixed quote follows, naming the sealant and its movement class.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
Quotes
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Car park decks and ramps
Deck and ramp joints take tyre loads, grit and de-icing salts. We use a sealant made for wheel loads and the expected movement, phased so parts of the car park stay open.
Cladding panel joints
Cladding panels move more than masonry as they heat and cool. A sealant with the right movement class is chosen in a colour confirmed for that product.
Your questions answered
Would you work within a site like Epsom General Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Will you take on work at estates like Eclipse Industrial Estate, close to Epsom Downs?
Yes. Our area takes in Epsom Downs and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Eclipse Industrial Estate included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Do you use silicone or polyurethane in movement joints?
The specification comes first, then the joint’s movement and exposure. We name the proposed product in the quote so there are no surprises.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
Is Epsom Downs in your area?
Yes. We cover Epsom Downs, and you can call 01277 525 020 or email the details over to get started.
Honest limits
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.

What we’re called out for in Epsom Downs
On trafficked joints, wheels and salts do the damage. Wheel loads stress the sealant and the arrises, while grit and salts work into any gap. A sealant that isn’t trafficable won’t last there.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
On industrial estates such as Eclipse Industrial Estate, which lies north-west of Epsom Downs, saw-cut floor joints, loading bay slabs and yard joints take the heaviest traffic.
