How we handle expansion joint sealing in Tattenham Corner
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. Every one calls for a sealant picked for its movement, exposure and traffic. We work on cladding panel joints, brickwork movement joints and blockwork control joints, and what we’re called in for most is damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed and layers of sealant in a movement joint. Most enquiries from Tattenham Corner 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 Tattenham Corner, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.

When something else is needed
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Blockwork control joints

Surface by surface
Podium joints
On podiums, the joint can belong to a larger waterproofing detail. Where the specification calls for sealant, we reseal.
Car park decks and ramps
Water coming through deck joints is the usual first sign. The old seal comes out, the edges are prepared and the joint resealed.
Tattenham Corner: questions and answers
Do you cover business parks and estates near Tattenham Corner, such as Eclipse Industrial Estate?
Yes. We cover Tattenham Corner and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Eclipse Industrial Estate. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Epsom General Hospital, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
What timescale should we allow for resealing expansion joints?
The metres of joint, the access and the amount of removal decide it. Typically it takes a short visit for a handful of joints, or several days or more for a car park deck or long runs of facade joints.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
How soon can the area be used again?
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.
How a job runs
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we’re cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. For work around Tattenham Corner, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Closed-cell backing rod is set to depth, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints.
- Where the maker calls for primer, it’s applied first, then the bead goes in and is tooled to a concave finish.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need

Related advice
After the work
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Check joints after long freezing spells
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
Movement joints belong on the planned maintenance inspection list. A periodic look picks up tears and lifting before water gets in. Should you spot a problem, you can ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and send a picture.
External wall joints that fail let rain into the masonry and cavity. It can surface inside as damp a long way from the joint. Resealing promptly prevents internal damage.
When to call us in Tattenham Corner
When a bead pulls away from one face, it has lost adhesion. Dusty, damp or contaminated faces, a missing primer and three-sided adhesion are the usual causes.
Typical triggers for a call:
- New sealant over old, now failing
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
University campuses such as University for the Creative Arts - Epsom (1.7 miles north-west of Tattenham Corner) have car parks, paved walkways and building elevations with movement joints.
