Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Bosham
Our movement joint work takes in walls, panels, decks and floors: brickwork and blockwork joints, precast and cladding panel joints, concrete joints, car park decks and ramps, podiums and floor movement joints. Every one calls for a sealant picked for its movement, exposure and traffic, and we will confirm the choice in the quote. We work on precast concrete panel joints, blockwork control joints and brickwork movement joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are expansion joints split through the centre of the bead and previous reseals laid over old sealant. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Bosham, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For a site near Bosham, measurements and photos up front mean one trip where possible. Tell us the joint widths if you can, and what drives or walks over them.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Honest limits
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surface by surface
Internal floor movement joints
Floor joints include saw-cut joints and construction joints. Trafficked floor joints often get a semi-rigid filler.
Cladding panel joints
Access to cladding joints is agreed before the price is fixed. Photos taken near the joints help us price accurately or a site visit fills the gaps.

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. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Bosham. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

Expansion joint sealing around Bosham: how the place shapes the job
The sea is no more than about 2 miles from Bosham. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, so it pays to keep them sealed. Central London is about 57 miles from Bosham. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London.
Across sites such as Broadbridge Business Centre, 0.5 miles to the north of Bosham, floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working. For an occupier at a site such as Southfield Industrial Park., less than half a mile to the north of Bosham, the joints at loading doors and dock levellers typically see the hardest wear. For an estate such as St Richard's Hospital, which lies east of Bosham, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.
Bosham is about 3 miles west of Chichester, in West Sussex. Any commercial site in Bosham is covered, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Across West Sussex, 373 places are covered, including Bosham. For work in that direction, see our Portsmouth page (10 miles or so).

Should maintenance staff do it?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, 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.
Questions about Bosham
Would you work within a site like St Richard's Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Does your area include sites such as Southfield Industrial Park., near Bosham?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Bosham, Southfield Industrial Park. Among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
What happens if it rains on the day?
Sealing onto a damp surface leads to adhesion failure, so external work waits for suitable conditions. We agree a revised date with you.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Typically, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
Can you seal car park deck joints?
Yes. We use a sealant designed for wheel loads and the expected movement, and phased work can be planned so parts of the car park stay in use.
Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
Fresh joint sealant needs its full cure time before it takes traffic or water. The time varies with product, conditions and joint depth, and we confirm it for each area before we leave. Barriers left in place until then protect the finish.
Rain gets into walls through torn brick and block movement joints. It can surface inside as damp a long way from the joint, well after the seal first opened. Catching it early keeps the water outside.
How a job runs
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. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Smaller jobs around Bosham can be grouped with others nearby.
