Do you need expansion joint sealing in The Sands?
Sun, rain and frost age external movement joints. In time the bead chalks, stiffens and cracks and opens at the next temperature swing.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
Parks like The Sands Business Centre, less than half a mile north-west of The Sands, combine paved areas, car parks and building elevations, each with joints that move.
What your quote should include
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint

In and around smaller places like The Sands, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.

Expansion joint sealing in The Sands: the local picture
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint. The 3 miles around The Sands take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic.
Hospital campuses such as Farnham Community Hospital (to the west of The Sands) grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old. A campus such as University for the Creative Arts, 2.9 miles to the west of The Sands, has long runs of movement joint in its buildings, decks and paving.
The Sands is about 2 miles east of Farnham, in Surrey. Looking for expansion joint sealing in The Sands? We can help, as we do across Surrey. The Sands is one of 379 places we cover in Surrey for movement joints. We also cover Reading, some 19 miles away.

Our process
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. If others near The Sands need work, visits can be combined. You’ll have a fixed quote before work 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 tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- 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.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Related advice
When it isn’t the sealant
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Cladding panel joints
- Car park decks and ramps

How the job changes by surface
Podium joints
Podiums take foot traffic, planters and weather. We choose a product that copes with feet, wheels and weather.
Car park decks and ramps
Car park joints are some of the hardest-working joints in any building. A trafficable sealant suited to the movement goes in, phased so parts of the car park stay open.
The Sands: questions and answers
Does your area include sites such as The Sands Business Centre, near The Sands?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around The Sands, The Sands Business Centre among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Farnham Community Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
When can you be on site?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
What timescale should we allow for resealing expansion joints?
It typically 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. We confirm the timescale with the quote, including any phasing.
What affects the price in The Sands
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- The size and state of each joint
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The total length or number of joints
A quote for movement joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Sending details for a quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The type of building and who uses it
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
