Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Thorpe Green
We have 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. Workmanship is backed by our 12-month guarantee. We work on cladding panel joints, brickwork movement joints and podiums and floor movement joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below and weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Thorpe Green, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In and around smaller places like Thorpe Green, 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.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Common problems we fix in Thorpe Green
Repeated failure often traces back to the wrong product. A stiff or general-purpose sealant across a joint with large movement won’t cope. Movement capability is set out in BS EN ISO 11600, and specifications often refer to it.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
- Chipped joint edges on forklift routes
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Thorpe Industrial Estate (1 mile north-east of Thorpe Green): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time.

Joints that move: notes for Thorpe Green
Thorpe Green has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints. Rainfall across the South East, Thorpe Green included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.
On a site such as Egham Business Park, 0.9 miles north-east of Thorpe Green, the movement joints are in car park slabs, paving and building elevations. A healthcare site such as St Peter's Hospital (to the south of Thorpe Green) depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.
Thorpe Green is about 2 miles south of Egham, in Surrey. Commercial clients in Thorpe Green can call on us for movement joints. Our Surrey coverage takes in 379 places, large and small. We also cover Reading, some 19 miles away.

When to bring in a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- The total length or number of joints
- Access and working height
- Joint width, depth and condition
- The site’s rules and procedures
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Sending details for a quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- The type of building and who uses it
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- When you need the work done
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
From enquiry to sign-off
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. For work around Thorpe Green, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry.
- Closed-cell backing rod is set to depth, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.

Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
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.
Unsupported floor joint edges spall under forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Damaged edges make the floor rough and wear wheels faster and the broken length grows with every pass. Keeping the filler or sealant sound protects the floor.
Questions about Thorpe Green
Does your area include sites such as Egham Business Park, near Thorpe Green?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Thorpe Green, Egham Business Park among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as St Peter's Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Do the joint edges need to be sound before sealing?
Broken arrises have to be put right before resealing, and we will point out where that’s the case. Sealing over them leads to early failure.

Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
