For managing agents and facilities managers
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Horley can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Horley
Floor movement joints in warehouses, retail and public buildings carry wheeled traffic. Without a sound filler, joint edges chip and spall under load. If the arrises are already broken, we will say so before sealing. If you are dealing with previous reseals laid over old sealant and car park joints leaking onto vehicles below, we can help, on brickwork movement joints, precast concrete panel joints and blockwork control joints alike. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Horley is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around smaller places such as Horley, 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.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Horley as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Why deal with it now?
Resealing is usually the answer, not replacing the element. If the material either side is sound, a properly prepared reseal restores the joint. We’ll flag where edges need repair before sealing. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Horley. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Pricing movement joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you’re working to. Call for a quote.

Warehouse floors and decks around Horley
The 3 miles around Horley take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, while winter salting gets into any joint left open.
Schools such as North Oxfordshire Academy have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook. Across sites such as Beaumont Industrial Estate, 2.4 miles south-east of Horley, floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working. For buildings at a park such as Alkerton Oaks Business Park (2.4 miles west of Horley), brick and panel movement joints are easy to forget until one leaks.

How the job changes by surface
Car park decks and ramps
Car park joints are some of the hardest-working joints in any building. We use a sealant made for wheel loads and the expected movement with bays done in phases so the car park keeps running.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Masonry faces are often porous, dusty or crumbly. We clean them back to sound material and prime where the manufacturer specifies.
General trades versus a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, 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.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.

How a job runs
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Rural sites near Horley may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Agree which areas must stay open

What sealant work can’t fix
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Precast concrete panel joints

Horley: questions and answers
Will you take on work at estates like Alkerton Oaks Business Park, close to Horley?
Yes. We cover Horley and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Alkerton Oaks Business Park. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Horton General Hospital, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is movement joint sealing guaranteed?
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. Damage from later works or traffic loads outside the joint’s design isn’t a workmanship fault.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
How do we ask for a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, ring 01277 525 020 or email us. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Do you use silicone or polyurethane in movement joints?
The specification comes first, then the joint’s movement and exposure. We name the proposed product in the quote so there are no surprises.
Are expansion joints and movement joints the same thing?
The terms overlap a great deal. Both let materials grow and shrink with temperature, moisture and load, and the seal across it keeps water and debris out.
