Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Climping
The seal is what lets a movement joint do its job. Once it fails, water, grit and debris get in, the joint can’t close properly and its edges begin to crumble. Resealing at the first signs of failure is far cheaper than repairing the material either side. If you’re dealing with chipped joint edges on forklift routes and weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes, we can help. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Climping, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Climping have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

How the job changes by surface
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Masonry faces are often porous, dusty or crumbly. We clean them back to sound material and prime where the manufacturer specifies, then seal and tool the joint.
Podium joints
Podium decks are exposed and often trafficked. We choose a product that copes with feet, wheels and weather.
When something else is needed
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

Traffic, movement and joints around Climping
Climping lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, so it pays to keep them sealed. Rainfall across the South East, Climping included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.
University campuses such as University of Chichester (Bognor Campus), 4.2 miles west of Climping, have car parks, paved walkways and building elevations with movement joints. On industrial estates such as Rudford Industrial Estate, 0.5 miles to the west of Climping, saw-cut floor joints, loading bay slabs and yard joints take the heaviest traffic. At places like Riverside Industrial Estate, 0.8 miles to the east of Climping, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we’re cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. Smaller jobs around Climping can be grouped with others nearby. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Move anything stored against the joints

Why deal with it now?
A torn seal left alone normally gets worse. Grit and water fill the gap and the material either side breaks up. Acting at the first split keeps the cost down. Halls, stores and units around places like Climping may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
