Expansion joint sealing in Bosham Hoe
Floor movement joints in warehouses, retail and public buildings carry wheeled traffic. Unsupported edges break up under wheels so the product has to suit both the traffic and the movement. If the arrises are already broken, we’ll say so before sealing, and phased work keeps areas in use. We work on cladding panel joints, precast concrete panel joints and podiums and floor movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are rain penetration at brick or block movement joints and expansion joints filled with dirt and stones. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Bosham Hoe tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Around smaller places such as Bosham Hoe, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

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 flagging broken arrises before sealing.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Mortar snots and debris in the joint stop it working. We clear the joint fully before sealing.
How a job runs
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Rural sites near Bosham Hoe may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability.
- Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready

Aftercare for building managers
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. Keep the handover details, product and date with your O&M records so future maintenance isn’t guesswork.
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’ll tell you which movement joints need doing now and which can wait.
When to call us in Bosham Hoe
Three-sided adhesion is a common cause of early failure. Bonded on three faces, it can’t stretch evenly when the joint opens so backing is set before sealing.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- New sealant over old, now failing
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
- Debris jammed in movement joints
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
Warehouse floors on estates like Southfield Industrial Park., 1.5 miles north of Bosham Hoe, carry pallet trucks and forklifts over every saw-cut joint.

What sealant work can’t fix
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises

Your questions answered
Does the sea air around Bosham Hoe change the choice of sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Can you work on a hospital site such as St Richard's Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
What do you charge?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Which product is best for expansion joints?
Movement capability matters most. Hybrid or MS polymer products suit some mixed-material joints.
Are expansion joints and movement joints the same thing?
The general name is movement joint, and expansion joint is one common type. On site, people tend to use them interchangeably and the way they’re sealed is similar.
Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Bosham Hoe
Bosham Hoe is within about 1 mile of the coast. Open joints in coastal car parks and yards let in salt-laden water as well as grit, and edges left open tend to break up faster. Bosham Hoe is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.
