Tilford Common: questions and answers
Is a hospital such as Milford Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is a smaller place like Tilford Common outside your area?
Not at all. Tilford Common is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Are expansion joints and movement joints the same thing?
The general name is movement joint, and expansion joint is one common type. In everyday use the two names are often swapped.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Which product is best for expansion joints?
The right product depends on the joint. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many facade joints, while polyurethane is common in trafficked floor and deck joints, and the specification has the final say.
How much does the work cost?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote.
About our expansion joint sealing in Tilford Common
The seal is what lets a movement joint do its job. When the sealant splits or lets go, the gap fills with dirt and water; the joint jams, its edges take the load and the arrises spall. Dealt with early, it stays a sealant job rather than a concrete or masonry repair. Site teams most often ask us about expansion joints split through the centre of the bead and car park joints leaking onto vehicles below, across precast concrete panel joints, brickwork movement joints and podiums and floor movement joints. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Tilford Common, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In and around smaller places like Tilford Common, 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 by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Work for main contractors and building owners
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Our process
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Smaller jobs around Tilford Common can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We start with photos, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability.
- 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.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Advice
Floors, slabs and movement joints in Tilford Common
Rainfall across the South East, Tilford Common 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 gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints. Central London is about 36 miles from Tilford Common. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day.
Sites like Milford Hospital, 5.4 miles east of Tilford Common, carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints. University campuses such as University for the Creative Arts (to the north-west of Tilford Common) have car parks, paved walkways and building elevations with movement joints. Parks like The Sands Business Centre (to the north of Tilford Common) combine paved areas, car parks and building elevations, each with joints that move.

What the job involves on each surface
Internal floor movement joints
Floor joints include saw-cut joints and construction joints. A semi-rigid filler is common in trafficked industrial floors and a flexible sealant where the joint moves more.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Long brick and block elevations have movement joints at intervals. We use a sealant rated for the movement, normally low-modulus.
What happens if it’s left?
A failed joint seal doesn’t mean the slab, panel or wall needs replacing. If the material either side is sound, a properly prepared reseal restores the joint. If the edges have broken up, we will tell you they need repairing first. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Tilford Common, rather than one at a time. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.

Honest limits
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We’ll tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer.
