Expansion joint sealing near Seale

Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.

Aftercare for building managers

To get the most from the new sealant:

  • Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
  • Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
  • Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
  • Note which joints were done, when, and with what

Every joint we seal is backed by a 12-month guarantee on workmanship. Record which product went into which joints in the building file, so the next reseal starts with the facts.

Joints sealed at the same time generally fail around the same time. It pays to check every joint, not just the obvious one so you can prioritise and budget. We can suggest an order, worst joints first.

Expansion joint sealing in Seale, done properly

Brickwork and blockwork walls have vertical movement joints at intervals, and they’re easy to miss until the sealant fails. Failed sealant here lets rain into the wall and can leave the joint full of debris. The old seal comes out, backing goes in and a sealant with the right movement class is applied, primed where the manufacturer specifies. If you’re dealing with car park joints leaking onto vehicles below and layers of sealant in a movement joint, we can help, whatever the surface. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Seale it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.

Smaller community and commercial buildings around Seale have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.

We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

When to call us in Seale

The edges of the material can fail rather than the sealant. If the edge of the joint is friable, the bond fails with it.

It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:

  • Debris jammed in movement joints
  • New sealant over old, now failing
  • Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
  • Movement joints with split or torn sealant

Hospitals like Farnham Community Hospital, 2.9 miles to the west of Seale, have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock.

Questions to ask before you book

  • How joint depth will be controlled
  • What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
  • Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
  • How the joint faces will be prepared and primed

Our contractor checklist

Honest limits

Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:

  • Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
  • Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
  • Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint

If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we seal

  • Cladding panel joints
  • Brickwork movement joints
  • Podiums and floor movement joints
  • Precast concrete panel joints
  • Car park decks and ramps
  • Blockwork control joints

What happens if it’s left?

Sealing over a failed movement joint is a common shortcut. A bead over the old seal can’t bond or flex, so it fails quickly. Full removal and preparation is in every quote. Converted and older buildings near places like Seale tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.

The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

What you get with us

  • Matching to RAL references, product permitting
  • Products installed to the manufacturer’s instructions
  • Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months
  • Constructionline member

Work for main contractors and building owners

We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Seale can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Surrey.

Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.

How a job runs

Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. For a building around Seale, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.

  1. We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
  2. You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
  3. The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry.
  4. Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
  5. Where the maker calls for primer, it’s applied first, then the bead goes in and is tooled to a concave finish.
  6. Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.

What we need from you

  • Warn occupants and staff about the work
  • Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
  • Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
