Less than 3 miles from Maplehurst there are at least three named estates and business parks. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest. Maplehurst is about 35 miles from central London. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift.
Business parks such as Brook Farm Business Park, 1.8 miles south-east of Maplehurst, have car parks, paved areas and long brick and panel elevations, all with movement joints. Sites like Horsham Hospital (to the north of Maplehurst) carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints. At places like Pondtail Farm (Business Park), 2.1 miles south-west of Maplehurst, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.

About our expansion joint sealing in Maplehurst
For movement joints in Maplehurst, photos and approximate lengths are the best start. We will come and look where photos don’t show enough before issuing a fixed quote. To discuss the joints first, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. We work on brickwork movement joints, blockwork control joints and precast concrete panel joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are water dripping through deck or ramp joints and new sealant over old, now failing. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Maplehurst, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Maplehurst have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a failed movement joint rarely stays a small problem. Water and debris get in, the joint jams and the edges spall, so a reseal turns into an edge repair as well. Resealing early keeps the work to sealant. Halls, stores and units around places like Maplehurst may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

When to bring in a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
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.
On site: what to expect
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. For a building around Maplehurst, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- 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.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Cost factors for movement joints
To price the job, we consider:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Working within restricted access windows
- Access and working height
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Sending details for a quote
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The type of building and who uses it
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
When something else is needed
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work in Maplehurst
- Cladding panel joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Brickwork movement joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Blockwork control joints

Different surfaces, different methods
Brickwork and blockwork joints
A brick movement joint full of old mortar or debris can’t close. Everything is raked out before backing and sealant go in and flag any joint that seems undersized.
Podium joints
Podium decks are exposed and often trafficked. We choose a product that copes with feet, wheels and weather.
