From enquiry to sign-off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself typically takes a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases, and we clear our waste as we work. Rural sites near Mickleham may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- We assess the joints on site or from photographs, noting widths and how each has failed.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Expansion joint sealing in Mickleham
Brickwork and blockwork walls have vertical movement joints at intervals. Failed sealant here lets rain into the wall and can leave the joint full of debris. The old seal comes out, backing goes in and a sealant with the right movement class is applied, primed where the manufacturer specifies. We work on precast concrete panel joints, cladding panel joints and podiums and floor movement joints, and what we’re called in for most is joints where the bead has lost adhesion and brittle, chalky sealant on external joints. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Mickleham, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Around smaller places such as Mickleham, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Common problems we fix in Mickleham
Three-sided adhesion is a common cause of early failure. Sealant fixed to the base and sides can’t flex, so it tears.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- New sealant over old, now failing
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
University campuses such as University for the Creative Arts - Epsom, 4.8 miles north-east of Mickleham, have car parks, paved walkways and building elevations with movement joints.

When it isn’t the sealant
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises

After the work
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
- Note which joints were done, when, and with what
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
Add every elevation, deck and floor joint to your inspection round. Early splits and edges starting to lift show up on a routine check, when they’re still cheap to deal with. If anything looks wrong, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with photos.
A failed deck joint lets water straight through to the level below. Salty water dripping through stains soffits and lands on parked vehicles and it can affect the structure over time. Resealing early limits the damage.
Why it’s worth doing now in Mickleham
Re-sealing with the same product that failed is often a false economy. If the joint is too narrow or the product wrong for the movement, it needs a different approach and we will tell you honestly. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Mickleham, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Distance, for remote addresses
- The total length or number of joints
- Which sealant the job calls for
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What to include in your enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back

Mickleham: questions and answers
Is Mickleham too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Mickleham is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Is Leatherhead Industrial Estate, near Mickleham, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Mickleham, Leatherhead Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
In most cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
Do you use silicone or polyurethane in movement joints?
The right product depends on the joint. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many facade joints, while polyurethane is common in trafficked floor and deck joints, and the specification has the final say.
Can you seal car park deck joints?
Yes. Tell us how the car park is used and which areas must stay open, and we will plan the phasing around it.
Why has the sealant in our expansion joints split?
The common causes are poor preparation, three-sided adhesion, the wrong movement class and weathering. We diagnose which one it is before resealing, because the fix differs.
Where floor joints take the most wear near Mickleham
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, while winter salting gets into any joint left open. At about 19 miles from central London, Mickleham is within reach of the capital. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day.
If you manage units on an estate such as Leatherhead Industrial Estate (1.9 miles north of Mickleham), the floor joints under forklifts and pallet trucks and the slab joints in the yard are the ones to watch. In a school such as St Michael's CofE Aided Infant School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
