About our expansion joint sealing in Brook Street
Floor movement joints in warehouses, retail and public buildings carry wheeled traffic. Without a sound filler, joint edges chip and spall under load so the product has to suit both the traffic and the movement. We will tell you if the edges need repairing before sealing and phasing can keep areas working. If you have sealant peeling off one face of the joint and layers of sealant in a movement joint, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Brook Street start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Around smaller places such as Brook Street, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in West Sussex. If an installation problem shows up, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Different surfaces, different methods
Joints between different materials
Some mixed-material joints suit a hybrid sealant. We pick the product for the materials and the movement.
Internal floor movement joints
Floor joints include saw-cut joints and construction joints. A semi-rigid filler is common in trafficked industrial floors, with a flexible sealant where movement is larger.
Leave it or put it right?
A failed joint seal doesn’t mean the slab, panel or wall needs replacing. If the material either side is sound, a properly prepared reseal restores the joint. We’ll flag where edges need repair before sealing. For buildings around smaller places like Brook Street, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Pricing movement joints depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Joints that move: notes for Brook Street
Brook Street is about 33 miles from central London. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift. Brook Street sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.
For a school such as Holy Trinity Church of England Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.

Our process
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For a building around Brook Street, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Flag any permit to work we will need

Related advice
Brook Street: questions and answers
Do we have to stop operations in Brook Street while the joints are sealed?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Is Brook Street off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
What hours do you work?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
How much does the work cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with a description of the work.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
What sets the cost
What shapes the price:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- How much there is to seal
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
Details that help us quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- The type of building and who uses it
- When you need the work done

Common problems we fix in Brook Street
Sealant peeling cleanly off one side is an adhesion failure. Dusty, damp or contaminated faces, a missing primer and three-sided adhesion are the usual causes and it often shows on rushed work.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
- Leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
Hospitals like St Francis Hospital, 3.1 miles south-east of Brook Street, have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock.
What your quote should include
- Proof of insurance
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- How joint depth will be controlled
