About our expansion joint sealing in Burstow
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. The product depends on the movement, the weather and anything that runs over it, and we’ll confirm the choice in the quote. If you have movement joints with split or torn sealant and sealant pulling off the joint face, we can put it right. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Burstow is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around smaller places such as Burstow, 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.
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.

Warehouse floors and decks around Burstow
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint. At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Burstow. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints.
Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Kiln Heath Farm Business Centre (0.5 miles south-east of Burstow): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time. Large sites such as Spire Gatwick Park Hospital (Private) (2.4 miles west of Burstow) have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels. Parks like Maple Business Park, less than half a mile north of Burstow, combine paved areas, car parks and building elevations, each with joints that move.

After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. Keep the handover details, product and date with your O&M records.
A failed deck joint lets water straight through to the level below. Salty water dripping through stains soffits and lands on parked vehicles, which is bad news for the concrete and the people parking below. Sealing the joint promptly stops it at source.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Burstow
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- How much there is to seal
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Access and working height
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Details that help us quote
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Access details, including height
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Our process
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. For a building around Burstow, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- We assess the joints on site or from photos, noting widths and how each has failed.
- 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.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

Advice
Your questions answered
Is Burstow off your patch?
Not at all. Burstow is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Spire Gatwick Park Hospital (Private), something you do?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Do the joint edges need to be sound before sealing?
Spalled edges need repairing before a new seal will last and we will flag every length affected. Sealing over them leads to early failure.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Why has the sealant in our expansion joints split?
It depends on how the sealant has let go: a split through the middle points to over-stretching, while peeling from one face points to preparation or primer. Broken edges are a third possibility.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Normally, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
