Your questions answered
Is Bewbush too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Will you take on work at estates like Holmbush Potteries Industrial Estate, close to Bewbush?
Yes. We cover Bewbush and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Holmbush Potteries Industrial Estate. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
What happens if it rains on the day?
The joint has to be dry, and the air and surface temperature inside the product’s limits. Cold, damp or frosty mornings can stop work outside so external dates keep some flexibility.
What exactly is a movement joint?
Movement joint is the broad term for any joint built in to let a structure move. In everyday use the two names are often swapped.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
When can you be on site?
We’re in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Honest limits
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Car park decks and ramps
- Cladding panel joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Blockwork control joints
After the work
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
Every joint we seal is backed by a 12-month guarantee on workmanship. Record which product went into which joints in the building file so future maintenance isn’t guesswork.
On a multi-storey car park, a failed joint typically shows up as a leak onto the deck underneath. Salty water dripping through stains soffits and lands on parked vehicles and it can affect the structure over time. Resealing early limits the damage.
How a job runs
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For a job in Bewbush, the main thing is a clear picture of the work. You will then get a fixed price for the work.
- We assess the joints on site or from photos, noting widths and how each has failed.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Move anything stored against the joints
Quotes
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

What happens if it’s left?
A like-for-like reseal of a joint that keeps splitting rarely lasts. A higher movement class, or a design change by the engineer, may be needed. Small buildings around Bewbush suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
What you get with us
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months
- One contact handling all your sites
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
Expansion joint sealing in Bewbush: the local picture
Bewbush sits in or beside Crawley, a twentieth-century planned town. Industrial estates in planned towns were built in phases, so whole rows of units can need their floor joints done at once. Less than 3 miles from Bewbush there are at least three named estates and business parks. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic.
Schools such as The Bewbush Academy have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook. For an occupier at a site such as Holmbush Potteries Industrial Estate, which lies south-west of Bewbush, the joints at loading doors and dock levellers normally see the hardest wear.
Bewbush is about 1 mile west of Crawley, in West Sussex. Across the RH11 postcode area, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Our West Sussex coverage takes in 373 places, large and small. Brighton is covered too, around 19 miles from Bewbush.

Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Bewbush
Repeated failure often traces back to the wrong product. Products not classed for the movement fail early. Movement capability is set out in BS EN ISO 11600, and specifications often refer to it.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Joints packed with grit and debris
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
Large sites such as Crawley Hospital, 1.3 miles to the north-east of Bewbush, have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels.
