How we handle expansion joint sealing in Hookwood
Brickwork and blockwork walls have vertical movement joints at intervals that most people only notice when the sealant has gone. Failed sealant here lets rain into the wall and can leave the joint full of debris. The old seal is cut away, backing rod goes in at depth, and a low-modulus masonry sealant is gunned and tooled. We work on brickwork movement joints, blockwork control joints and precast concrete panel joints, and what we’re called in for most is sealant peeling off one face of the joint and joints packed with grit and debris. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Hookwood is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around smaller places such as Hookwood, 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 by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Surface by surface
Cladding panel joints
Metal and composite panels shift considerably as temperatures change. A sealant with the right movement class is chosen, and we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Mortar snots and debris in the joint stop it working. Everything is raked out before backing and sealant go in and flag any joint that seems undersized.
Honest limits
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly.

Questions about Hookwood
Is a hospital such as Spire Gatwick Park Hospital (Private) somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Hookwood too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Hookwood are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
What do you charge?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will price it properly.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
That depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
In warehouses, forklift and pallet-truck routes take the most wear. Keep racking feet and heavy point loads off joint lines and flag chipped arrises before they spread.
Floor joints with failed fillers break up quickly under wheels. Broken arrises jolt trucks, loads and drivers and the broken length grows with every pass. Keeping the filler or sealant sound protects the floor.

Joints that move: notes for Hookwood
At about 23 miles from central London, Hookwood is within reach of the capital. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift. At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Hookwood. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic.
At places like Gatwick Gate Industrial Estate, which lies south of Hookwood, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on. For a school such as Manorfield Primary and Nursery School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
When to call us in Hookwood
With no backing rod or bond-breaker in place, sealant grips the base of the joint too. Bonded on three faces, it can’t stretch evenly when the joint opens, which is why depth control matters.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Joints packed with grit and debris
- Chipped joint edges on forklift routes
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
Retail centres such as County Oak Retail Park, 2.4 miles south of Hookwood, have floors, service yards and car parks with joints under constant traffic.

Our process
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work normally takes a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases. For work around Hookwood, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Agree which areas must stay open
