Our process
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Jobs in and around smaller places like Hatchford are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- 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 and tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

How we handle expansion joint sealing in Hatchford
The seal is what lets a movement joint do its job. Once it fails, water, grit and debris get in. Dealt with early, it stays a sealant job rather than a concrete or masonry repair. Site teams most often ask us about joints where the bead has lost adhesion and debris jammed in movement joints, on podiums and floor movement joints, blockwork control joints and cladding panel joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Hatchford is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Jobs around smaller places like Hatchford are planned so the whole job is done in one visit, with the right materials on hand. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we will take it from there.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Cost factors for movement joints
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How accessible the joints are
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
A quote for movement joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you’re working to. Call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- When you need the work done
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
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. If anything looks wrong, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with photos.
On a multi-storey car park, a failed joint typically shows up as a leak onto the deck underneath. That water often carries de-icing salts with it and it can affect the structure over time. Sealing the joint promptly stops it at source.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Questions about Hatchford
Is a hospital such as Cobham Community Hospital and Health Centre somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is Bookham Industrial Estate, near Hatchford, within your area?
Yes. We cover Hatchford and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Bookham Industrial Estate. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
What timescale should we allow for resealing expansion joints?
Expect a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases. Cure time before reopening is confirmed on the day.
Can a joint be sealed if the edges are broken?
Sealant needs sound faces to bond to, so broken or crumbling edges have to be repaired first. Where it’s visible beforehand, we will say so when we quote.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.

What we are called out for in Hatchford
Sun, rain and frost age external movement joints. UV hardens the surface, and the sealant loses its ability to stretch, so it can’t follow the movement any more.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- Leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
For an estate such as Cobham Community Hospital and Health Centre, 2.2 miles north-east of Hatchford, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.
