How we handle expansion joint sealing in Frensham
Floor movement joints in warehouses, retail and public buildings carry wheeled traffic. Without a sound filler, joint edges chip and spall under load so the product has to suit both the traffic and the movement. If the arrises are already broken, we will say so before sealing. We work on brickwork movement joints, blockwork control joints and podiums and floor movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are movement joints with split or torn sealant and layers of sealant in a movement joint. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Frensham, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Jobs around smaller places like Frensham are planned so the whole job is done in one visit. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we’ll take it from there.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Looking after the joints
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
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 ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and send a picture.
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.
Common problems we fix in Frensham
Car park decks and floors face loads that walls never see. Wheel loads stress the sealant and the arrises. The product has to be suited to the traffic.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
If you manage units on an estate such as Grovebell Industrial Estate (2.7 miles north-west of Frensham), the floor joints under forklifts and pallet trucks and the slab joints in the yard are the ones to watch.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. If others near Frensham need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability and tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Advice
What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Your questions answered
Is Frensham off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. 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.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Chase Community Hospital, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
In most cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.

Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.

Rainfall across the South East, Frensham included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.
