Each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship. Site teams most often ask us about spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks and expansion joints filled with dirt and stones, on brickwork movement joints, blockwork control joints and cladding panel joints. Searching for sealant specialists in Hindhead? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Around smaller places such as Hindhead, 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.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
Grit is the slow enemy of a joint seal. Grit trodden or driven into the joint works at the surface until it tears, especially on car park decks and warehouse floors. A routine sweep is the simplest protection.
A failed deck joint lets water straight through to the level below. Salty water dripping through stains soffits and lands on parked vehicles, which is bad news for the concrete and the people parking below. Resealing early limits the damage.

They’re closely related. A movement joint allows for expansion, contraction, shrinkage and loading while the sealant stops grit and water getting in.

For an estate such as Holy Cross Hospital (1.6 miles south of Hindhead), the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.

Different surfaces, different methods
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Long brick and block elevations have movement joints at intervals. They take a low-modulus sealant with a movement class to suit, with backing rod setting the depth.
Cladding panel joints
Cladding panels move more than masonry as they heat and cool. The joints need a low-modulus sealant with enough movement capability in a colour confirmed for that product.
What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

How a job runs
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Jobs in and around smaller places like Hindhead are typically planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We start with photographs, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability.
- Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
- 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.

Related advice
Should maintenance staff do it?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
