Questions we’re asked in Old Dean
Is a smaller place like Old Dean outside your area?
No. Places such as Old Dean are covered as much as the big 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.
Will you take on work at estates like Basepoint Business Centre, close to Old Dean?
Yes. We cover Old Dean and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Basepoint Business Centre. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Can you quote from photographs?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit before quoting.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
What sealant do you use in movement joints?
We choose a sealant with a movement capability that suits the joint. Where two different materials meet, a hybrid sealant can be the better choice.
Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Old Dean
Internal floor joints take trolleys, pallet trucks and forklifts. Unsupported edges break up under wheels, so the right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement matters. We will tell you if the edges need repairing before sealing and phasing can keep areas working. We work on cladding panel joints, blockwork control joints and car park decks and ramps, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are movement joints with split or torn sealant and rain penetration at brick or block movement joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Old Dean it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Around Old Dean, most floor and movement joint jobs are single buildings or yards. Getting widths, depths and traffic details up front means one visit, not two.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

What happens if it’s left?
Doing joint resealing alongside other planned works can save on access. But joints already letting water in shouldn’t wait for a programme, as damage continues meanwhile. Urgent joints now, the rest later, is often the sensible plan. Small buildings around Old Dean suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Expansion joint sealing in Old Dean: the local picture
Rainfall across the South East, Old Dean 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 where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in. At about 29 miles from central London, Old Dean is within reach of the capital. The roads out of London are lined with trade parks and distribution sheds.
Office parks like Basepoint Business Centre (to the south-west of Old Dean) have decks, ramps and clad elevations whose joints take movement every day. Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Watchmoor Business Park (2.4 miles south-west of Old Dean): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time.
Old Dean is about 1 mile north-east of Camberley, in Surrey. We cover Old Dean, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. Old Dean is one of 379 places in Surrey on our list. Our Reading page has more on work in that area (13 miles or so).

Should maintenance staff do it?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. For a site in Old Dean, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Clear photographs and measurements help us bring the right products.
- We start with photographs, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take and tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Do you need expansion joint sealing in Old Dean?
Three-sided adhesion is a common cause of early failure. Bonded on three faces, it can’t stretch evenly when the joint opens so backing is set before sealing.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
- Chipped joint edges on forklift routes
Hospital campuses such as Frimley Park Hospital, 2.4 miles to the south-west of Old Dean, grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.
What your quote should include
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Their public liability cover
After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
Keep wheels, feet and water off new joints until the sealant has cured. The time varies with product, conditions and joint depth, and we confirm it for each area before we leave. Keeping the area coned off until then avoids tyre marks and damage.
On a multi-storey car park, a failed joint normally shows up as a leak onto the deck underneath. Salty water dripping through stains soffits and lands on parked vehicles and it can affect the structure over time. Sealing the joint promptly stops it at source.
