What else we do in Temple Ewell
Common problems we fix in Temple Ewell
Concrete slabs shrink as they dry out, and saw-cut joints give that shrinkage a planned place to crack. Each panel pulls back as it shrinks and the joints open up, and a filler placed early can part company with one face.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
- Unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
- Cracked and crumbling joint fill
For a school such as Temple Ewell Church of England Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.
Before you book anyone
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- How they’ll work around occupants
When it isn’t the sealant
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We’ll tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Structural cracking in the slab
- Slab panels that rock or move under load
- A floor that is out of level for the racking or trucks
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Your questions answered
Is Temple Ewell too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Temple Ewell are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can being near the sea in Temple Ewell affect the sealant we need?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
Can you fill joints where the arrises have spalled?
We check the edges as part of the survey. Damaged edges are flagged up front so the filling isn’t wasted.
Which is better for warehouse joints, filler or sealant?
It depends on the traffic and the movement. Trafficked joints on truck routes normally need a semi-rigid filler to support the edges, while joints that move more take a flexible sealant.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
What happens if it’s left?
Tape, or whatever sealant is in the stores cupboard, may look like a fix for a while. None of it is designed for wheel loads, and it usually ends up dragged across the floor. A product chosen for the traffic and movement does the job once. For buildings around smaller places like Temple Ewell, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Hold traffic back until the product has cured
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
- Remind operators to lift rather than drag
Walk the main truck routes every few months and look along the joint lines. Watch for filler pulling away from an edge, fresh chipping or grit collecting and keep photos so changes are easy to compare.
Grit in an open joint does damage every time a wheel crosses it. Getting it filled stops the damage while it is still a straightforward job.
Floors, slabs and movement joints in Temple Ewell
Temple Ewell lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Open joints in coastal car parks and yards let in salt-laden water as well as grit, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.
Large sites such as Buckland Hospital, 1.7 miles south-east of Temple Ewell, have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels. Office parks like White Cliffs Business Park (to the east of Temple Ewell) have decks, ramps and clad elevations whose joints take movement every day.
