South Godstone: questions and answers
Is South Godstone off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you cover business parks and estates near South Godstone, such as Lambs's Business Park?
Yes. We cover South Godstone and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Lambs's Business Park. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
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 if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
What’s the difference between an expansion joint and a movement joint?
The terms overlap a great deal. Both let materials grow and shrink with temperature, moisture and load.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Do the joint edges need to be sound before sealing?
Spalled edges need repairing before a new seal will last, and we will point out where that’s the case. A bead on a broken edge soon lets go.
How we handle expansion joint sealing in South Godstone
Floor movement joints in warehouses, retail and public buildings carry wheeled traffic. Unsupported edges break up under wheels so the product has to suit both the traffic and the movement. We’ll 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 brickwork movement joints, and what we are called in for most is expansion joints split through the centre of the bead and sealant peeling off one face of the joint. A single leaking joint is often how a building in South Godstone first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around South Godstone have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

What happens if it’s left?
Doing joint resealing alongside other planned works can save on access. Leaking joints need sealing now because damage continues. We can split the scope into urgent and planned. Halls, stores and units around places like South Godstone 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.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

Surface by surface
Car park decks and ramps
Failed deck joints often show as leaks on the level below. We strip the old seal, prepare the edges and seal again flagging broken edges along the way.
Joints between different materials
Hybrid or MS polymer sealants bond to many substrates. We pick the product for the materials and the movement.
Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
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.
External wall joints that fail let rain into the masonry and cavity. It can surface inside as damp a long way from the joint by which time the joint has been open for a while. Resealing promptly prevents internal damage.
