About our expansion joint sealing in Nalderswood
Internal floor joints take trolleys, pallet trucks and forklifts. Without a sound filler, joint edges chip and spall under load, so the right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement matters. If the arrises are already broken, we’ll say so before sealing and phasing can keep areas working. If you have brittle, chalky sealant on external joints and damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed, we can help, on podiums and floor movement joints, car park decks and ramps and blockwork control joints alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Nalderswood, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Jobs around smaller places like Nalderswood are planned so the whole job is done in one visit. Tell us the joint widths if you can, and what drives or walks over them.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Surrey. If an installation problem shows up, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll arrange a return visit.

What happens if it’s left?
Combining joint work with other maintenance reduces set-up costs. But joints already letting water in shouldn’t wait for a programme, as damage continues meanwhile. We can split the scope into urgent and planned. Halls, stores and units around places like Nalderswood may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.

Expansion joint sealing around Nalderswood: what changes locally
Nalderswood sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints. The 3 miles around Nalderswood take in two named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment.
Office parks like Fontigarry Farm Business Park, 1.9 miles east of Nalderswood, have decks, ramps and clad elevations whose joints take movement every day. Another example is Gatwick Business Park, which lies south-east of Nalderswood, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers.
Nalderswood is about 3 miles west of Horley, in Surrey. Nalderswood sits inside our coverage, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. 379 places across Surrey fall within our area, including Nalderswood. London is covered too, some 22 miles away.

Local landmarks in Nalderswood

Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
Grit is the slow enemy of a joint seal. Stones pressed into the bead by wheels or feet can puncture it. Regular sweeping keeps joint lines clear.
Joints sealed at the same time generally fail around the same time. It pays to check every joint, not just the obvious one, so the work can be planned rather than rushed. We’ll tell you which movement joints need doing now and which can wait.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. For work around Nalderswood, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces.
- Closed-cell backing rod is set to depth, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

When something else is needed
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer.

Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Nalderswood
Weathering wears down sealant on exposed elevations and decks. UV hardens the surface, and the sealant loses its ability to stretch.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
In a school such as Burys Court School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
What to look for in a quote
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- How they’ll work around occupants
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
Surface by surface
Car park decks and ramps
Failed deck joints often show as leaks on the level below. The old seal comes out, the edges are prepared and the joint resealed.
Internal floor movement joints
Floor joints include saw-cut joints and construction joints. Trafficked floor joints often get a semi-rigid filler and a flexible sealant where the joint moves more.

Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Nalderswood, Fontigarry Farm Business Park among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is a hospital such as Farmfield Hospital (psychiatric) somewhere you can work?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Can a joint be sealed if the edges are broken?
The edges have to be sound. Where they’ve broken up, we’ll tell you they need repairing first, so the new seal has something to grip.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
Do you guarantee expansion joint work?
A 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship, and we’re fully insured for public liability. Keeping joints clear of debris helps them last.
Why do our movement joints keep failing?
Most often the movement is too much for the product or the joint width. That’s why we check width, depth and movement class before quoting so the same failure isn’t repeated.
What hours do you work?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll plan around them. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
