How we handle expansion joint sealing in Fetcham
Few joints take as much punishment as those in a car park. Tyres load the edges, and de-icing salts and water work into any gap; water dripping through to the deck below is often the first sign. A sealant suited to traffic and the expected movement goes in. Most enquiries involve sealant pulling off the joint face and torn sealant in brick or block movement joints, on cladding panel joints, precast concrete panel joints and blockwork control joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Fetcham, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around places the size of Fetcham, joints that need sealing tend to be in rural business units, farm buildings put to commercial use, schools and community buildings. Their slabs and walls still need movement joints that work.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

Do you need expansion joint sealing in Fetcham?
Car park decks and floors face loads that walls never see. Tyres and wheels press on the edges and the sealant, while de-icing salts and grit attack the seal. A sealant that isn’t trafficable won’t last there.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
- Leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below
Hospital campuses such as Leatherhead Community Hospital (1.6 miles east of Fetcham) grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
Doing it in-house
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
How the job changes by surface
Internal floor movement joints
Wheeled traffic chips floor joint edges that aren’t supported. We match the product to the traffic and the movement.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
A brick movement joint full of old mortar or debris can’t close. Everything is raked out before backing and sealant go in and flag any joint that seems undersized.
What affects the price in Fetcham
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- How accessible the joints are
- Phasing around occupants
- The total length or number of joints
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.

How a job runs
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Fetcham need work too, visits can be combined. Tell us your site hours and we’ll plan around them.
- We assess the joints on site or from photos, noting widths and how each has failed.
- 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.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- 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
- Point out any areas we must not close
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Why act early in Fetcham
Resealing is typically the answer, not replacing the element. If the material either side is sound, a properly prepared reseal restores the joint. If the edges have broken up, we’ll tell you they need repairing first. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. 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.

Questions about Fetcham
Is Fetcham too far out for you?

When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
What will the job cost?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. Send photographs or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
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.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
