Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Gatton
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. We reseal deck and ramp joints with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement. We work on precast concrete panel joints, car park decks and ramps and cladding panel joints, and what we are called in for most is water dripping through deck or ramp joints and brittle, chalky sealant on external joints. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Gatton from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Around smaller places such as Gatton, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Where floor joints take the most wear near Gatton
Gatton lies roughly 17 miles out from central London. The roads out of London are lined with trade parks and distribution sheds; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift. Rainfall across the South East, Gatton 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.
For buildings at a park such as Kingsfield Business Centre (2.1 miles south of Gatton), brick and panel movement joints are easy to forget until one leaks. Schools like Lime Tree Primary School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly. For an estate such as East Surrey Hospital, which lies south of Gatton, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.
Gatton is about 2 miles north of Redhill, in Surrey. We cover commercial sites throughout Gatton, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Our Surrey coverage takes in 379 places. For work in that direction, see our London page.

Questions about Gatton
Is Kingsfield Business Centre, near Gatton, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Gatton, Kingsfield Business Centre among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you work on a hospital site such as East Surrey Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can you fit around our working hours?
We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Do you use silicone or polyurethane in movement joints?
Movement capability matters most as set out in BS EN ISO 11600. Where two different materials meet, a hybrid sealant can be the better choice.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Surface by surface
Cladding panel joints
Metal and composite panels shift considerably as temperatures change. The joints need a low-modulus sealant with enough movement capability in a colour confirmed for that product.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast and concrete panel joints move daily. We use a sealant classed for the movement, laid over backing to depth.
Maintenance after handover
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. Keep the handover details, product and date with your O&M records so future maintenance isn’t guesswork.
When one joint fails, others of the same age are rarely far behind. It pays to check every joint, not just the obvious one. We will tell you which movement joints need doing now and which can wait.
What sealant work can’t fix
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed before we move to the next. If others near Gatton need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We start with photos, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
