Why it’s worth doing now in Crawley Down
Resealing is usually the answer, not replacing the element. If the material either side is sound, a properly prepared reseal restores the joint. If the edges have broken up, we’ll tell you they need repairing first. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.

How we handle expansion joint sealing in Crawley Down
Joints in car park decks and ramps are among the hardest-working in any building. 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, phasing bays so the car park can stay in use. We work on precast concrete panel joints, podiums and floor movement joints and blockwork control joints, and what we’re called in for most is sealant peeling off one face of the joint and new sealant over old, now failing. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Crawley Down from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Work in a smaller place like Crawley Down is normally one building at a time, so we gather photos and measurements first. That way the right materials come on the day and the job is done in one visit where possible.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

On site: what to expect
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Work in places the size of Crawley Down is planned as a single visit where we can. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- We assess the joints on site or from photos, noting widths and how each has failed.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- 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.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Advice
For managing agents and facilities managers
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.

Different surfaces, different methods
Joints between different materials
Some mixed-material joints suit a hybrid sealant. The choice depends on the substrates and how much the joint moves, and confirm it in the quote.
Car park decks and ramps
Water coming through deck joints is the usual first sign. The old seal comes out, the edges are prepared and the joint resealed.

Your questions answered
Will you take on work at estates like Silverwood Industrial Estate, close to Crawley Down?
Yes, sites like Silverwood Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Crawley Down. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Is a hospital such as Queen Victoria Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit before quoting.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
After the work
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
Floor joints on main traffic routes need watching more closely than the rest. Keep racking feet and heavy point loads off joint lines and flag chipped arrises before they spread.
Floor joints with failed fillers break up quickly under wheels. Damaged edges make the floor rough and wear wheels faster, and the damage spreads along the joint. Keeping the filler or sealant sound protects the floor.
Expansion joint sealing around Crawley Down: what changes locally
The 3 miles around Crawley Down take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, while winter salting gets into any joint left open.
For an estate such as Queen Victoria Hospital (3.5 miles east of Crawley Down), the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time. Warehouse floors on estates like Silverwood Industrial Estate, 1.2 miles to the north-west of Crawley Down, carry pallet trucks and forklifts over every saw-cut joint. Across sites such as Rowfant Business Centre, which lies south-west of Crawley Down, floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working.
