About our expansion joint sealing in Old Woking
Internal floor joints take trolleys, pallet trucks and forklifts. Without a sound filler, joint edges chip and spall under load. If the arrises are already broken, we’ll say so before sealing. If you’re dealing with water dripping through deck or ramp joints and sealant peeling off one face of the joint, we can help. Whoever orders the work in Old Woking, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around smaller places such as Old Woking, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

From enquiry to sign-off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Jobs in and around smaller places like Old Woking are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We assess the joints on site or from photographs, noting widths and how each has failed.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in

Advice
FAQs: Old Woking
Is Lion Retail Park, near Old Woking, within your area?
Yes, sites like Lion Retail Park are within our area, along with the rest of Old Woking. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Woking Community Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, and bigger or more complex jobs typically get a visit.
What will the job cost?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. Send photos or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
What guarantee do you give on joint sealing?
The 12-month guarantee applies to the workmanship. If a joint we sealed fails inside the 12 months, let us know.
What causes movement joint sealant to fail?
The way it has failed normally tells us why: a split through the middle points to over-stretching, while peeling from one face points to preparation or primer. Broken edges are a third possibility.
What happens if it rains on the day?
Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range. Frost, rain and condensation on steel or concrete can hold up external work so external dates keep some flexibility.
Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Old Woking
Sealant peeling cleanly off one side is an adhesion failure. Dusty, damp or contaminated faces, a missing primer and three-sided adhesion are the usual causes.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
- Debris jammed in movement joints
Large sites such as Woking Community Hospital (1.2 miles north-west of Old Woking) have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels.
What your quote should include
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Their public liability cover
Why it’s worth doing now in Old Woking
Sealing over a failed movement joint is a common shortcut. A bead over the old seal can’t bond or flex. Full removal and preparation is in every quote. Halls, stores and units around places like Old Woking may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
Why clients in Old Woking choose us
- Public liability insurance in place

What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Podium joints
On podiums, the joint can belong to a larger waterproofing detail. Where the specification calls for sealant, we reseal, and tell you if the problem looks like the waterproofing below.
Cladding panel joints
Cladding panels move more than masonry as they heat and cool. A sealant with the right movement class is chosen in a colour confirmed for that product.
