On site: what to expect
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before we move to the next. If others near Titsey need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Point out any areas we must not close

Advice
More services for Titsey
Do you need expansion joint sealing in Titsey?
Some joints were never sealed with the right 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.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
- Leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
In a school such as Oxted School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.

Titsey: questions and answers
Do you cover business parks and estates near Titsey, such as Biggin Hill Airport Trading Estate?
Yes, sites like Biggin Hill Airport Trading Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Titsey. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is a smaller place like Titsey outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
What timescale should we allow for resealing expansion joints?
Expect a short visit for a handful of joints, or several days or more for a car park deck or long runs of facade joints. Cure time before reopening is confirmed on the day.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
What exactly is a movement joint?
It’s a deliberate gap that lets the structure move without cracking. Many people call it an expansion joint and both need a flexible seal.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
What guarantee do you give on joint sealing?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails inside the 12 months, let us know.
How the job changes by surface
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Long brick and block elevations have movement joints at intervals. They take a low-modulus sealant with a movement class to suit laid over backing rod at the correct depth.
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, and we will tell you if any edges need repairing first.
Looking after the joints
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
Floor joints on main traffic routes need watching more closely than the rest. Avoid standing heavy loads or racking legs on the joints and flag chipped arrises before they spread.
When one joint fails, others of the same age are rarely far behind. Inspecting the whole run is worth the effort. We’ll tell you which movement joints need doing now and which can wait.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Titsey
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
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.
Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Titsey
Titsey is about 16 miles from central London. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift. Titsey is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, while winter salting gets into any joint left open.
Estates like Biggin Hill Airport Trading Estate, 2.9 miles to the north of Titsey, combine warehouse slabs, yards and loading bays, all with joints under wheels. Large sites such as Tandridge Priory, 1.7 miles to the south of Titsey, have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
