Our expansion joint sealing service in East Sussex

For movement joints in East Sussex, photographs and approximate lengths are the best start. We’ll come and look where photos don’t show enough before issuing a fixed quote. To discuss the joints first, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. We work on car park decks and ramps, podiums and floor movement joints and brickwork movement joints, and what we’re called in for most is car park joints leaking onto vehicles below and previous reseals laid over old sealant.

We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area.

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 flag anything that needs an engineer.
Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.

Floors, slabs and movement joints across East Sussex

Industrial estates, business parks and retail parks around Eastbourne, Hastings and Bexhill-on-Sea and elsewhere in East Sussex typically have floor and slab joints under daily traffic. The right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement.

London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but external sealing in East Sussex still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and damp or frosty mornings can hold it up. On the coastal side of East Sussex, sea-facing elevations usually show failed joints first.

Eastbourne: Sites like Eastbourne District General Hospital (to the west of Eastbourne) carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints. Across sites such as Britland Industrial Estate (0.5 miles east of Eastbourne), floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working.

What we are called out for in East Sussex

Car park decks and floors face loads that walls never see. Tyres and wheels press on the edges and the sealant, while de-icing salts and grit attack the seal. A sealant that isn’t trafficable won’t last there.

Common reasons buildings call us in:

Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
Leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below

How the job changes by surface

Internal floor movement joints

Wheeled traffic chips floor joint edges that aren’t supported. We match the product to the traffic and the movement.

Cladding panel joints

Metal and composite panels shift considerably as temperatures change. The joints need a low-modulus sealant with enough movement capability, and we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.

Why deal with it now?

Leaving a failed movement joint rarely stays a small problem. Grit and water fill the gap and the material either side breaks up, so a reseal turns into an edge repair as well. Resealing early keeps the work to sealant.

General trades versus a specialist

Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.

Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.

Commercial clients in East Sussex

If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.

Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.

Questions we’re asked in East Sussex

Which product is best for expansion joints?

Whatever suits the joint and the specification. We name the proposed product in the quote, so you know what’s going in.

How do I request a quote?

You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form. Include photos or drawings if you have them.

Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?

Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we will send them with the quote.

Do you take on multi-site work?

Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.

Can a joint be sealed if the edges are broken?

Sound edges are essential. Where they’ve broken up, we will tell you they need repairing first so you are not paying for a bead that won’t hold.

Can you seal car park deck joints?

Yes. Deck and ramp joints are resealed with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement with bays phased so the car park keeps operating.

Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?

Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
