Common questions from South Nutfield clients
Is a smaller place like South Nutfield outside your area?
Not at all. South Nutfield is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you work on a hospital site such as East Surrey Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
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.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
What timescale should we allow for resealing expansion joints?
Allow anything from part of a day to a couple of weeks, depending on joint lengths, widths and access. Timings are set out in the quote, including any phasing.
About our expansion joint sealing in South Nutfield
We cover the full range of movement joints: brickwork and blockwork joints, precast and cladding panel joints, concrete joints, car park decks and ramps, podiums and floor movement joints. Every one calls for a sealant picked for its movement, exposure and traffic and we name it in the quote. The enquiries we see most involve weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes and water dripping through deck or ramp joints, across blockwork control joints, car park decks and ramps and brickwork movement joints. Most enquiries from South Nutfield start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In and around smaller places like South Nutfield, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Honest limits
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think.

On site: what to expect
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. If others near South Nutfield need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We start with photographs, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability, and flag anything that needs an engineer.
- Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- 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.

Advice
Maintenance after handover
For the best life from the joints:
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
Keep wheels, feet and water off new joints until the sealant has cured. The time varies with product, conditions and joint depth and we’ll tell you when each bay or area can reopen. Barriers left in place until then protect the finish.
Once debris packs a failed joint, the structure has nowhere to expand. The edges then take the pressure and start to spall, turning a sealant job into a repair job. Keeping the seal sound avoids all of that.
What we’re called out for in South Nutfield
Sun, rain and frost age external movement joints. In time the bead chalks, stiffens and cracks.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
- Leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
Large sites such as East Surrey Hospital, 1.4 miles to the west of South Nutfield, have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels.

Surface by surface
Car park decks and ramps
Deck and ramp joints take tyre loads, grit and de-icing salts. We use a sealant made for wheel loads and the expected movement, phased so parts of the car park stay open.
Internal floor movement joints
Wheeled traffic chips floor joint edges that aren’t supported. We match the product to the traffic and the movement, and tell you if edges need repairing first.

South Nutfield is about 19 miles from central London. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.
Schools like Nutfield Church CofE Primary School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly. Another example is Perrywood Business Park, 2 miles to the south-west of South Nutfield, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers.
