Keeping the joints sound
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
Add every elevation, deck and floor joint to your inspection round. A periodic look picks up tears and lifting before water gets in and long before edges start to break. Should you spot a problem, you can call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and send a picture.
An open joint fills with grit, and a joint full of grit can’t close. The arrises crack and break away under the load and the reseal becomes an edge repair as well. A sound seal keeps the joint working.
Expansion joint sealing in Broadbridge
Few joints take as much punishment as those in a car park. Tyres load the edges, and de-icing salts and water work into any gap; water dripping through to the deck below is often the first sign. We reseal deck and ramp joints with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement. We work on precast concrete panel joints, car park decks and ramps and cladding panel joints, and what we are called in for most is previous reseals laid over old sealant and weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes. Most enquiries from Broadbridge start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Jobs around smaller places like Broadbridge are planned so the whole job is done in one visit. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we’ll take it from there.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Broadbridge
Repeated failure often traces back to the wrong product. Products not classed for the movement fail early. BS EN ISO 11600 classifies building sealants by movement capability.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
Office parks like Broadbridge Business Centre (to the west of Broadbridge) have decks, ramps and clad elevations whose joints take movement every day.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their public liability cover
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
On site: what to expect
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Smaller jobs around Broadbridge can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- 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, and flag anything that needs an engineer.
- 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.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Move anything stored against the joints

Quoting for work in Broadbridge
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Working within restricted access windows
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- The total length or number of joints
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.
What to include in your enquiry
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The product your specification calls for
- The postcode of the building
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Common questions from Broadbridge clients
Does your area include sites such as Broadbridge Business Centre, near Broadbridge?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Broadbridge, Broadbridge Business Centre among them, are all within reach. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Nuffield Health Chichester Hospital, something you do?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Do you take on small jobs?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
When can you be on site?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
How long before the joints can be used?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.

Traffic, movement and joints around Broadbridge
With the shore within about 3 miles, Broadbridge counts as a coastal location. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, which is why split joints are worth sealing before the edges deteriorate. Less than 3 miles from Broadbridge there are at least three named estates and business parks. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints.
Hospitals like Nuffield Health Chichester Hospital, 2.9 miles to the east of Broadbridge, have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock. At a retail site such as Summersdale Retail Park, which lies north-east of Broadbridge, trolleys, cages and cars run over floor and slab joints all day.

When to bring in a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
