What the job involves on each surface
Internal floor movement joints
Warehouse and retail floors have saw-cut induced joints and construction joints. Trafficked floor joints often get a semi-rigid filler, with a flexible sealant where movement is larger.
Joints between different materials
Different materials meeting at a joint rarely move in step. We choose a sealant that grips both faces, with primer where specified.
Expansion joint sealing in Hurst, done properly
Internal floor joints take trolleys, pallet trucks and forklifts. Without a sound filler, joint edges chip and spall under load so the product has to suit both the traffic and the movement. If the arrises are already broken, we will say so before sealing, and phased work keeps areas in use. If you’re dealing with rain penetration at brick or block movement joints and hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades, we can put it right, whatever the surface. For commercial sealant work in Hurst, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
In and around smaller places like Hurst, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll arrange a return visit.

What else we do in Hurst
What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work in Hurst

- Precast concrete panel joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Podiums and floor movement joints
After the work
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- 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 product details with the building records for the next reseal
In warehouses, forklift and pallet-truck routes take the most wear. Keep racking feet and heavy point loads off joint lines, and report any chipped edges early.
Unsupported floor joint edges spall under forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Damaged edges make the floor rough and wear wheels faster and the broken length grows with every pass. Keeping the filler or sealant sound protects the floor.
Warehouse floors and decks around Hurst
The 3 miles around Hurst take in two named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints. Rainfall across the South East, Hurst included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, while winter salting gets into any joint left open.
Retail parks like Loddon Vale Shopping Centre (to the west of Hurst) have long runs of car park and yard joints taking daily traffic. A campus such as University of Reading (to the north-west of Hurst) has long runs of movement joint in its buildings, decks and paving.
Hurst is about 2 miles east of Woodley, in Wokingham. We cover Hurst and the rest of Wokingham, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. Hurst is one of 42 places in Wokingham on our list.

Questions we’re asked in Hurst
Is Hurst off your patch?
No. Places such as Hurst are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Does your area include sites such as Loddon Vale Shopping Centre, near Hurst?
Yes. We cover Hurst and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Loddon Vale Shopping Centre. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Is movement joint sealing guaranteed?
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. The guarantee covers how we sealed, not damage caused afterwards.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it.
Can you work on car park ramps and decks?
Yes, we do. These joints take wheels, salt and water, so product choice matters and broken edges are flagged before sealing.
Common problems we fix in Hurst
Weathering wears down sealant on exposed elevations and decks. UV hardens the surface, and the sealant loses its ability to stretch, so it can’t follow the movement any more.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
Across sites such as Castle End Business Park, which lies north of Hurst, floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working.

- What site paperwork they can supply
- Who will actually carry out the work
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
When to bring in a specialist
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 normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
How a job runs
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint, 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 Hurst are typically planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take and tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
