When to call us in Molesey
Repeated failure often traces back to the wrong product. Products not classed for the movement fail early. Movement capability is set out in BS EN ISO 11600.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
Centres like Bentall Centre, 2.4 miles north-east of Molesey, have mall floors and service decks whose joints carry steady traffic.
What your quote should include
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
How we handle expansion joint sealing in Molesey
Joint design counts for as much as the sealant itself. Joint width must suit the movement and the movement class of the sealant, and depth is controlled using closed-cell backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints. For wider joints, the width-to-depth ratio is often around 2:1, as the manufacturer advises and the bead bonds to the sides, never the back. If you have previous reseals laid over old sealant and torn sealant in brick or block movement joints, we can help, on brickwork movement joints, podiums and floor movement joints and precast concrete panel joints alike. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Molesey it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In a smaller place such as Molesey, floor and movement joints are often in agricultural and rural business units, schools and the odd small industrial yard. Concrete floors and yards in these buildings move and crack like any others.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll come back to it.

FAQs: Molesey
Does your area include sites such as North Weylands Industrial Estate, near Molesey?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Molesey, North Weylands Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Would you work within a site like Molesey Community Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Which product is best for expansion joints?
We choose a sealant with a movement capability that suits the joint, classified under BS EN ISO 11600. Hybrid or MS polymer products suit some mixed-material joints.
On site: what to expect
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Molesey need work too, visits can be combined. Tell us your site hours and we will plan around them.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- 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.
- Where the maker calls for primer, it’s applied first, then the bead goes in and is tooled to a concave finish.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Send your site hours and access windows
Getting a fixed quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Internal floor movement joints
Warehouse and retail floors have saw-cut induced joints and construction joints. A semi-rigid filler is common in trafficked industrial floors and a flexible sealant where the joint moves more.
Cladding panel joints
Access to cladding joints is agreed before the price is fixed. Close-up photos help us judge the joints, or we visit if they don’t show enough.
What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Cladding panel joints

What else we do in Molesey
Where floor joints take the most wear near Molesey
At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Molesey. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic. Rainfall across the South East, Molesey included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.
Warehouse floors on estates like North Weylands Industrial Estate (1.8 miles south-west of Molesey) carry pallet trucks and forklifts over every saw-cut joint. Sites like Molesey Community Hospital (to the west of Molesey) carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints.
Molesey is about 6 miles west of Wimbledon, in Surrey. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Molesey use us for work on movement joints. Across Surrey, 379 places are covered, including Molesey. Sites around London have their own page, roughly 13 miles from Molesey.
