From enquiry to sign-off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For a job in Billingshurst, the main thing is a clear picture of the work. You’ll then get a fixed price for the work.
- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- Where the maker calls for primer, it’s applied first, then the bead goes in and is tooled to a concave finish.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Expansion joint sealing in Billingshurst
We cover the full range of movement joints: vertical joints in brick and block facades, joints between precast or cladding panels, concrete slab and deck joints, ramps, podiums and internal floors. Every one calls for a sealant picked for its movement, exposure and traffic. If you are dealing with expansion joints split through the centre of the bead and brittle, chalky sealant on external joints, we can help, on precast concrete panel joints, podiums and floor movement joints and blockwork control joints alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Billingshurst, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Work in a smaller place like Billingshurst is usually one building at a time, so we gather photos and measurements first. Getting widths, depths and traffic details up front means one visit, not two.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Quoting for work in Billingshurst
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Working within restricted access windows
- Access and working height
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
Before you send an enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Specification clauses that apply
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Your programme or deadline
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding panel joints
Access to cladding joints is agreed before the price is fixed. Close-up photographs help us judge the joints or a site visit fills the gaps.
Car park decks and ramps
Deck and ramp joints take tyre loads, grit and de-icing salts. A trafficable sealant suited to the movement goes in with bays done in phases so the car park keeps running.
Where floor joints take the most wear near Billingshurst
At about 36 miles from central London, Billingshurst is within reach of the capital. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital. At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Billingshurst. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic.
At places like Gillman's Industrial Estate, 0.6 miles to the south of Billingshurst, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on. In a school such as Billingshurst Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. Business parks such as Rosier Commercial Centre, 0.6 miles to the south-east of Billingshurst, have car parks, paved areas and long brick and panel elevations, all with movement joints.

What sealant work can’t fix
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

General trades versus a specialist
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.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Billingshurst: questions and answers
Will you take on work at estates like Rosier Commercial Centre, close to Billingshurst?
Yes. We cover Billingshurst and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Rosier Commercial Centre. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Do we have to stop operations in Billingshurst while the joints are sealed?
In most cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
When can you be on site?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
What causes movement joint sealant to fail?
The common causes are poor preparation, three-sided adhesion, the wrong movement class and weathering. Working out the cause comes first since each needs a different fix.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Can the building stay open while you work?
In most cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
