Expansion joint sealing in Godalming
Our movement joint work takes in walls, panels, decks and floors: vertical joints in brick and block facades, joints between precast or cladding panels, concrete slab and deck joints, ramps, podiums and internal floors. The product depends on the movement, the weather and anything that runs over it. We work on podiums and floor movement joints, blockwork control joints and cladding panel joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are previous reseals laid over old sealant and spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Godalming from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Around Godalming, most floor and movement joint jobs are single buildings or yards, so we gather photographs and measurements first. Getting widths, depths and traffic details up front means one visit, not two.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

When to bring in a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.

When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Questions about Godalming
Is Godalming off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Does your area include sites such as Godalming Business Centre, near Godalming?
Yes, sites like Godalming Business Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Godalming. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you guarantee expansion joint work?
The 12-month guarantee applies to the workmanship. Tell us right away if a joint we sealed gives trouble in that time.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
Why deal with it now?
Re-sealing with the same product that failed is often a false economy. A higher movement class, or a design change by the engineer, may be needed and we’ll tell you honestly. In a smaller place such as Godalming, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Any access equipment needed
- How much existing material needs removing
- The total length or number of joints
A quote for movement joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you’re working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Before you send an enquiry
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Your programme or deadline
- Access details, including height
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
On site: what to expect
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work typically takes anything from part of a day to a couple of weeks, depending on joint lengths, widths and access, and we clear our waste as we work. For a site in Godalming, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Clear photos and measurements help us bring the right products.
- We assess the joints on site or from photographs, noting widths and how each has failed.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Make sure the joints can be reached
