Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Tyler's Hill
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 brickwork movement joints, blockwork control joints and podiums and floor movement joints, and what we’re called in for most is expansion joints filled with dirt and stones and sealant peeling off one face of the joint. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Tyler's Hill it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around smaller places such as Tyler's Hill, 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 ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Tyler's Hill: questions and answers
Will you take on work at estates like Waterside Business Park, close to Tyler's Hill?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Tyler's Hill, Waterside Business Park among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is Tyler's Hill too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you guarantee expansion joint work?
Each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship. The guarantee covers how we sealed, not damage caused afterwards.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Are expansion joints and movement joints the same thing?
The general name is movement joint, and expansion joint is one common type. On site, people tend to use them interchangeably.
Can you work on car park ramps and decks?
Yes. Deck and ramp joints are resealed with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement, and phased work can be planned so parts of the car park stay in use.

Our process
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we are cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. If others near Tyler's Hill need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything 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 and tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- 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.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Advice
Surface by surface
Car park decks and ramps
Deck and ramp joints take tyre loads, grit and de-icing salts. We use a sealant made for wheel loads and the expected movement, phased so parts of the car park stay open.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast and concrete panel joints move daily. The sealant needs the right movement capability and a controlled depth.
When to call us in Tyler's Hill
Car park decks and floors face loads that walls never see. Tyres and wheels press on the edges and the sealant, while grit and salts work into any gap. A sealant that isn’t trafficable won’t last there.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
Across sites such as Fairview Industrial Estate, which lies south of Tyler's Hill, floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working.
What to look for in a quote
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- What site paperwork they can supply
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
Pricing movement joints depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Before you send an enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Any specification or named product
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The postcode of the building
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
