What we’re called out for in Newdigate
Sun, rain and frost age external movement joints. In time the bead chalks, stiffens and cracks.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
Schools such as Newdigate CofE Endowed Aided Infant School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.

- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
Expansion joint sealing in Newdigate
The seal is what lets a movement joint do its job. Once it fails, water, grit and debris get in. Resealing at the first signs of failure is far cheaper than repairing the material either side. We work on cladding panel joints, brickwork movement joints and podiums and floor movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades and chipped joint edges on forklift routes. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Newdigate tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around smaller places such as Newdigate, 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.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

After the work
After handover, these steps help:
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
Grit is the slow enemy of a joint seal. Grit trodden or driven into the joint works at the surface until it tears, especially on car park decks and warehouse floors. A routine sweep is the simplest protection.
On a multi-storey car park, a failed joint usually shows up as a leak onto the deck underneath. Salty water dripping through stains soffits and lands on parked vehicles. Sealing the joint promptly stops it at source.
How a job runs
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Jobs in and around smaller places like Newdigate are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- We assess the joints on site or from photos, noting widths and how each has failed.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need

Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Advice
Why deal with it now?
Doing joint resealing alongside other planned works can save on access. Leaking joints need sealing now, as damage continues meanwhile. Urgent joints now, the rest later, is often the sensible plan. For buildings around smaller places like Newdigate, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

Honest limits
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think.

Questions about Newdigate
Do we have to stop operations in Newdigate while the joints are sealed?
In the majority of cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Is Newdigate too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Normally, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Can you work on car park ramps and decks?
Yes. Deck and ramp joints are resealed with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement with bays phased so the car park keeps operating.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Owners, agents and contractors
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Newdigate can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Traffic, movement and joints around Newdigate
Central London is about 24 miles from Newdigate. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day. Newdigate sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.
A healthcare site such as Langley Green Hospital (to the south-east of Newdigate) depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.
