Expansion joint sealing in South Merstham, done properly
We’ve been sealing expansion and movement joints for over 20 years, for main contractors, FMs, managing agents and building owners. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and we carry five million pounds of public liability insurance. Each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship. If you are dealing with expansion joints split through the centre of the bead and debris jammed in movement joints, we can help, whatever the surface. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in South Merstham from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Small units near places like South Merstham are often converted farm buildings with new concrete floors. Joints in those slabs need a product suited to whatever runs over them, from pallet trucks to foot 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 spell out the cover before we begin.

When something else is needed
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Your questions answered
Will you take on work at estates like Kingsfield Business Centre, close to South Merstham?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around South Merstham, Kingsfield Business Centre among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Would you work within a site like East Surrey Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can you seal car park deck joints?
Yes. Let us know the opening hours and which levels or bays have to stay available and we will plan around them.
Is any job too small?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.

If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
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 and soon lets go. We cut out the old seal and prepare the faces every time. For buildings in places like South Merstham, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so we’d suggest renewing all the joints that are going, not just the worst.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
Why us?

How the job changes by surface
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Vertical movement joints in brick and block walls let the masonry grow and shrink. They take a low-modulus sealant with a movement class to suit, with backing rod setting the depth.
Podium joints
On podiums, the joint can belong to a larger waterproofing detail. Where the specification calls for sealant, we reseal.

Advice
Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
- Check joints after long freezing spells
Every joint we seal is backed by a 12-month guarantee on workmanship. Keep the handover details, product and date with your O&M records.
When one joint fails, others of the same age are rarely far behind. Inspecting the whole run is worth the effort, so the work can be planned rather than rushed. We will tell you which movement joints need doing now and which can wait.
