Expansion joint sealing in Crawley
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Why act early in Crawley
Re-sealing with the same product that failed is often a false economy. A higher movement class, or a design change by the engineer, may be needed. For buildings around smaller places like Crawley, 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.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.

Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Crawley
We’ve been sealing expansion and movement joints for over 20 years, for main contractors, FMs, managing agents and building owners. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, we’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and we carry five million pounds of public liability insurance. Workmanship is backed by our 12-month guarantee. The enquiries we see most involve chipped joint edges on forklift routes and car park joints leaking onto vehicles below, across precast concrete panel joints, podiums and floor movement joints and blockwork control joints. Whoever orders the work in Crawley, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In and around smaller places like Crawley, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. 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. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

What sets the cost
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Access and working height
- Working within restricted access windows
- The size and state of each joint
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
What to include in your enquiry
However big the job, the same details help:
- When you need the work done
- Specification clauses that apply
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
What we can’t put right
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Cladding panel joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. If others near Crawley need work, visits can be combined. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- 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
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Joints that move: notes for Crawley
Crawley is about 64 miles from central London. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day. Crawley has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment.
Across sites such as Windrush Industrial Estate, 1.2 miles south-west of Crawley, floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working. Warehouse floors on estates like Crawley Mill Industrial Estate, under half a mile to the south-west of Crawley, carry pallet trucks and forklifts over every saw-cut joint.
Crawley is about 1 mile north-west of Witney, in Oxfordshire. Commercial clients in Crawley use us for work on movement joints. Crawley is one of 423 places in Oxfordshire on our list for movement joints. We also cover Oxford, some 12 miles away.

What we’re called out for in Crawley
Car park decks and floors face loads that walls never see. Wheel loads stress the sealant and the arrises, while grit and salts work into any gap. A sealant that isn’t trafficable won’t last there.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
Schools such as Hailey Church of England Primary School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.
What your quote should include
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- The named product and why it was chosen
- What site paperwork they can supply
Questions we are asked in Crawley
Can you work at a site such as Crawley Mill Industrial Estate, by Crawley?
Yes, sites like Crawley Mill Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Crawley. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Crawley too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Crawley is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
What if the joint edges are damaged?
Broken arrises have to be put right before resealing, and we will point out where that’s the case. A bead on a broken edge soon lets go.
How long will the joint resealing take?
Allow a short visit for a handful of joints, or several days or more for a car park deck or long runs of facade joints. Timings are set out in the quote, including any phasing.
What do you charge?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Why has the sealant in our expansion joints split?
The common causes are poor preparation, three-sided adhesion, the wrong movement class and weathering. We diagnose which one it is before resealing since each needs a different fix.
