Expansion joint sealing across Broadland Row

Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.

Expansion joint sealing in Broadland Row

Our movement joint work takes in walls, panels, decks and floors: 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. The enquiries we see most involve expansion joints split through the centre of the bead and water getting into the wall through a failed joint, on podiums and floor movement joints, blockwork control joints and car park decks and ramps. Searching for sealant specialists in Broadland Row? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.

Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Broadland Row have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.

We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application.

What the job involves on each surface

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, phased so parts of the car park stay open.

Cladding panel joints

Cladding panels move more than masonry as they heat and cool. The joints need a low-modulus sealant with enough movement capability.

How a job runs

Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. Jobs in and around smaller places like Broadland Row are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.

  1. First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
  2. You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
  3. Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
  4. The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
  5. Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
  6. Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.

Getting the site ready

  • Flag any permit to work we’ll need
  • Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Advice

Warehouse floors and decks around Broadland Row

Rainfall across the South East, Broadland Row included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, while winter salting gets into any joint left open. Broadland Row is about 50 miles from central London. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day.

Hospital campuses such as Conquest Hospital, 4.8 miles south-west of Broadland Row, grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old. For floors and slabs around Broadland Row, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint.

Broadland Row is about 6 miles north-east of Hastings, in East Sussex. We send applicators to Broadland Row for movement joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Broadland Row is one of 308 places we cover in East Sussex for movement joints. There’s a separate page for Brighton, about 34 miles away.

Anyone looking for expansion joint sealing in TN31 gets the same process as the rest of our area: details, then a fixed price, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. If your site is on Hundredhouse Lane and Udimore Road or close by, send details and we will quote for movement joints. Nearby places we also cover include Broad Oak (1 mile west), Udimore (1 mile east), Beckley Furnace (1 mile north-west), Doleham (2 miles south-west) and Broad Street (2 miles south-east). Further afield, our area takes in Hastings (6 miles south-west), Bexhill-on-Sea (10 miles south-west), St Leonards (7 miles south-west), Hastings Old Town (6 miles south), Belmont (6 miles south) and Hollington (6 miles south-west).

Owners, agents and contractors

Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Broadland Row can sit alongside others in a wider programme across East Sussex.

Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units 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.

Should maintenance staff do it?

What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.

Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.

Your questions answered

Would you work within a site like Conquest Hospital?

Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.

Is Broadland Row too small for you to travel to?

No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.

Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?

Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.

How soon can the area be used again?

The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.

How long will the new sealant last?

Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.

How much does the work cost?

Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with a description of the work.

Will you quote for a small job?

We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.

What sealant work can’t fix

Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:

  • Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
  • Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
  • A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work

If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we seal

  • Cladding panel joints
  • Car park decks and ramps
  • Precast concrete panel joints
  • Brickwork movement joints
  • Podiums and floor movement joints
  • Blockwork control joints

Keeping the joints sound

For the best life from the joints:

  • Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
  • Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
  • Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
  • Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed

Debris does more harm to joint sealant than most people realise. Grit trodden or driven into the joint works at the surface until it tears and decks and floors suffer most. A routine sweep is the simplest protection.

Joints sealed at the same time generally fail around the same time. Inspecting the whole run is worth the effort. We can suggest an order, worst joints first.
