FAQs: Meadvale
Can you work at a site such as Kingsfield Business Centre, by Meadvale?
Yes. We cover Meadvale and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Kingsfield Business Centre. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is a hospital such as East Surrey Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Do you guarantee expansion joint work?
The workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months from sign-off, and we’re fully insured for public liability. Keeping joints clear of debris helps them last.
Do you reseal car park expansion joints?
Yes. Tell us how the car park is used and which areas must stay open and we’ll plan around them.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
In the majority of cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
Expansion joint sealing in Meadvale, done properly
Brickwork and blockwork walls have vertical movement joints at intervals, and they’re easy to miss until the sealant fails. Once the seal fails, rain reaches the cavity and the joint can no longer close. The old seal is cut away, backing rod goes in at depth, and a low-modulus masonry sealant is gunned and tooled, primed where the manufacturer specifies. Most enquiries involve previous reseals laid over old sealant and joints packed with grit and debris, across brickwork movement joints, podiums and floor movement joints and cladding panel joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Meadvale first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Small units near places like Meadvale are often converted farm buildings with new concrete floors. Saw-cut and construction joints in those floors need the right filler or sealant for the forklifts and trolleys that use them.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

What happens if it’s left?
Leaving a failed movement joint rarely stays a small problem. Grit and water fill the gap and the material either side breaks up, so a reseal turns into an edge repair as well. Resealing early keeps the work to sealant. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
General trades versus a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
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. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.

Diagnose, treat, sign off

- We start with photographs, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.

Looking after the joints
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
Movement joints belong on the planned maintenance inspection list. A periodic look picks up tears and lifting before water gets in, when they’re still cheap to deal with. If anything looks wrong, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with photographs.
An open joint fills with grit, and a joint full of grit can’t close. The arrises crack and break away under the load, turning a sealant job into a repair job. A sound seal keeps the joint working.
What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think before you book.
