Expansion joint sealing for Tandridge sites
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Cost factors for movement joints
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The total length or number of joints
- Access and working height
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Joint width, depth and condition
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Before you send an enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The product your specification calls for
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Expansion joint sealing in Tandridge
Our movement joint work takes in walls, panels, decks and floors: vertical joints in brick and block facades, joints between precast or cladding panels, concrete slab and deck joints, ramps, podiums and internal floors. The product depends on the movement, the weather and anything that runs over it and we name it in the quote. We work on podiums and floor movement joints, blockwork control joints and car park decks and ramps, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are expansion joints split through the centre of the bead and car park joints leaking onto vehicles below. Most enquiries from Tandridge start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Around smaller places such as Tandridge, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Do you need expansion joint sealing in Tandridge?
Car park decks and floors face loads that walls never see. Wheel loads stress the sealant and the arrises. A sealant that isn’t trafficable won’t last there.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
Business parks such as Lambs's Business Park, 2.1 miles south-west of Tandridge, have car parks, paved areas and long brick and panel elevations, all with movement joints.
What your quote should include

- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How they’ll work around occupants
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
From enquiry to sign-off
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work normally takes a few hours to several weeks, depending on how many metres of joint there are and how much old sealant or filler needs removing, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Smaller jobs around Tandridge can be grouped with others nearby. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We assess the joints on site or from photographs, noting widths and how each has failed.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Podiums and floor movement joints

Doing it in-house
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
Floor joints on main traffic routes need watching more closely than the rest. Avoid standing heavy loads or racking legs on the joints, and report any chipped edges early.
Rain gets into walls through torn brick and block movement joints. The first sign is often a damp patch indoors, well after the seal first opened. Catching it early keeps the water outside.

Questions we’re asked in Tandridge
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders Clinic?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Does your area include sites such as Lambs's Business Park, near Tandridge?
Yes. We cover Tandridge and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Lambs's Business Park. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
What hours do you work?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Are expansion joints and movement joints the same thing?
They’re closely related. Both let materials grow and shrink with temperature, moisture and load.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
How do I request a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
