How we handle expansion joint sealing in Tyler's Green
Every structure moves a little, all the time: temperature, moisture, shrinkage and loading all make materials grow and shrink. Expansion and movement joints are built in so the structure can move without cracking and the seal across each one keeps out water and grit. We seal and reseal movement joints in walls, panels, decks and floors on sites in Tyler's Green. We work on car park decks and ramps, precast concrete panel joints and cladding panel joints, and what we’re called in for most is car park joints leaking onto vehicles below and new sealant over old, now failing. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Tyler's Green, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Around smaller places such as Tyler's Green, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. Smaller jobs around Tyler's Green can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Leave it or put it right?
Re-sealing with the same product that failed is often a false economy. If the joint is too narrow or the product wrong for the movement, it needs a different approach. Around Tyler's Green, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photos of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

What affects the price in Tyler's Green
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- How much there is to seal
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How much existing material needs removing
- Working within restricted access windows
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Any dates the work must fit around
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Access details, including height
Pricing a project or setting a maintenance budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we’ll return a fixed quote you can plan around. If you have questions first, phone 01277 525 020 or email us.
After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
Grit is the slow enemy of a joint seal. Grit trodden or driven into the joint works at the surface until it tears, especially on car park decks and warehouse floors. A routine sweep is the simplest protection.
A failed deck joint lets water straight through to the level below. That water often carries de-icing salts with it, which is bad news for the concrete and the people parking below. Sealing the joint promptly stops it at source.
Tyler's Green: questions and answers
Is Brewerstreet Dairy Business Park, near Tyler's Green, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Tyler's Green, Brewerstreet Dairy Business Park among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like North Downs Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
How long does movement joint sealing take?
That depends on joint lengths, widths, access and how much old sealant or filler needs removing. As a guide, it usually 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.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
What will the job cost?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. Send photographs or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
For managing agents and facilities managers
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
What the job involves on each surface
Joints between different materials
Hybrid or MS polymer sealants bond to many substrates. We pick the product for the materials and the movement, and confirm it in the quote.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
A brick movement joint full of old mortar or debris can’t close. We clear the joint fully before sealing and flag any joint that seems undersized.
