Diagnose, treat, sign off
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Jobs in and around smaller places like Walliswood are normally planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- 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.
- Where the maker calls for primer, it’s applied first, then the bead goes in and is tooled to a concave finish.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Advice
Expansion joint sealing in Walliswood
Our movement joint work takes in walls, panels, decks and floors: brickwork and blockwork joints, precast and cladding panel joints, concrete joints, car park decks and ramps, podiums and floor movement joints. Every one calls for a sealant picked for its movement, exposure and traffic, and we will confirm the choice in the quote. We work on podiums and floor movement joints, precast concrete panel joints and cladding panel joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are car park joints leaking onto vehicles below and sealant pulling off the joint face. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Walliswood, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For a site near Walliswood, measurements and photos up front mean one trip where possible. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we’ll take it from there.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises

What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- The product specified
- Travel to remote or island sites
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
Sending details for a quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Access details, including height
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Walliswood: questions and answers
Is Walliswood off your patch?
No. Places such as Walliswood are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Horsham Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Can you seal car park deck joints?
Yes. Let us know the opening hours and which levels or bays have to stay available.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
How long will the joint resealing take?
It normally takes a few hours to several weeks, depending on how many metres of joint there are and how much old sealant or filler needs removing and phased work can stretch that to suit your site. We will confirm when each area can be used again.

Expansion joint sealing around Walliswood: what changes locally
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in. Walliswood is about 29 miles from central London. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London.
Business parks such as Northlands Business Park, 2.2 miles south-east of Walliswood, have car parks, paved areas and long brick and panel elevations, all with movement joints. A healthcare site such as Horsham Hospital, 5.5 miles to the south-east of Walliswood, depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.
Walliswood is about 6 miles north-west of Horsham, in Surrey. Walliswood sits inside our coverage, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Walliswood is one of 379 places in Surrey on our list for movement joints. We also cover Brighton, around 24 miles from Walliswood.
Business premises anywhere in RH5 are within our area for movement joints. Among the streets we cover are Horsham Road, Standon Lane and Oakfields, and sites on any of them can send details for a fixed quote. We also cover Mayes Green (1 mile north), Ewhurst Green (2 miles north-west), Ellen's Green (2 miles south-west), Ewhurst (2 miles north-west) and Cranleigh (4 miles west) for movement joints.

Landmarks near Walliswood

Why act early in Walliswood
Resealing is usually the answer, not replacing the element. If the material either side is sound, a properly prepared reseal restores the joint. If the edges have broken up, we’ll tell you they need repairing first. Halls, stores and units around places like Walliswood may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: 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.

Maintenance after handover
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
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. Regular sweeping keeps joint lines clear.
When one joint fails, others of the same age are rarely far behind. Inspecting the whole run is worth the effort so you can prioritise and budget. We will tell you which movement joints need doing now and which can wait.
