Cost factors for movement joints
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- The product specified
- Distance, for remote addresses
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What we need to price the job
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Access details, including height
- Where the site is, with the postcode
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, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
How we handle expansion joint sealing in Crossbush
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 name it in the quote. If you are dealing with layers of sealant in a movement joint and chipped joint edges on forklift routes, we can help, whatever the surface. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Crossbush tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around smaller places such as Crossbush, 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, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will arrange a return visit.

For managing agents and facilities managers
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Common questions from Crossbush clients
Can you work on a hospital site such as Arundel & District Community Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Does a coastal location like Crossbush affect which sealant is used?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
In most cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
Why do our movement joints keep failing?
The way it has failed normally tells us why: 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.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
Can you quote from photos?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
What sealant do you use in movement joints?
Whatever suits the joint and the specification. The quote states the sealant and its movement class so there are no surprises.

Our process
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For a building around Crossbush, 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 start with photos, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take.
- Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.

Advice
Where floor joints take the most wear near Crossbush
Crossbush sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, and edges left open tend to break up faster. Less than 3 miles from Crossbush there are at least three named estates and business parks. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest.
Sites like Arundel & District Community Hospital (1.5 miles north-west of Crossbush) carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints. Schools such as The Littlehampton Academy have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook. Warehouse floors on estates like The Vinery Industrial Estate, 1.3 miles to the east of Crossbush, carry pallet trucks and forklifts over every saw-cut joint.
Crossbush is about 2 miles north of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. Anywhere in BN18, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. We work across 373 places in West Sussex, large and small. We also cover Brighton, some 18 miles away.

What we can’t put right
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Brickwork movement joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
Surface by surface
Internal floor movement joints
Warehouse and retail floors have saw-cut induced joints and construction joints. A semi-rigid filler is common in trafficked industrial floors, with a flexible sealant where movement is larger.
Car park decks and ramps
Failed deck joints often show as leaks on the level below. We strip the old seal, prepare the edges and seal again, and we will tell you if any edges need repairing first.
After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
- Check joints after long freezing spells
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
Grit is the slow enemy of a joint seal. Grit trodden or driven into the joint works at the surface until it tears and decks and floors suffer most. A routine sweep is the simplest protection.
Floor joints with failed fillers break up quickly under wheels. Damaged edges make the floor rough and wear wheels faster. Sealing early protects the edges.
