How we handle expansion joint sealing in Mytchett
The seal is what lets a movement joint do its job. When the sealant splits or lets go, the gap fills with dirt and water; the joint jams, its edges take the load and the arrises spall. Resealing at the first signs of failure is far cheaper than repairing the material either side. If you’re dealing with brittle, chalky sealant on external joints and expansion joints filled with dirt and stones, we can put it right. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Mytchett 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.
Work in a smaller place like Mytchett is typically one building at a time. That way the right materials come on the day and the job is done in one visit where possible.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Surrey. If an installation problem shows up, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll arrange a return visit.

On site: what to expect
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. What matters most for a job in Mytchett is a clear list of what needs doing. You’ll then get a fixed price for the work.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Advice
When to bring in a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Maintenance after handover
After handover, these steps help:
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Check joints after long freezing spells
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
Floor joints on main traffic routes need watching more closely than the rest. Keep racking feet and heavy point loads off joint lines.
Unsupported floor joint edges spall under forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Damaged edges make the floor rough and wear wheels faster. Sealing early protects the edges.
Do you need expansion joint sealing in Mytchett?
With no backing rod or bond-breaker in place, sealant grips the base of the joint too. Sealant fixed to the base and sides can’t flex, so it tears.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
- Joints packed with grit and debris
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
Parks like Farnborough Business Park (to the west of Mytchett) combine paved areas, car parks and building elevations, each with joints that move.
What your quote should include
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
Floors, slabs and movement joints in Mytchett
Mytchett sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints. Central London is about 31 miles from Mytchett. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day.
Across sites such as Invincible Road Industrial Estate, 1.6 miles to the west of Mytchett, floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working. Schools such as Mytchett Primary School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.

Your questions answered
Is Mytchett off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Frimley Park Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
What hours do you work?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
Will you quote for a small job?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think.
