How the job changes by surface
Concrete and precast panel joints
Joints between precast panels open and close with temperature and loading. We use a sealant classed for the movement, laid over backing to depth.
Joints between different materials
Hybrid or MS polymer sealants bond to many substrates. We pick the product for the materials and the movement.
Expansion joint sealing in Crowhurst
The seal is what lets a movement joint do its job. When the sealant splits or lets go, the gap fills with dirt and water; the joint jams, its edges take the load and the arrises spall. Resealing at the first signs of failure is far cheaper than repairing the material either side. We work on brickwork movement joints, precast concrete panel joints and cladding panel joints, and what we’re called in for most is expansion joints filled with dirt and stones and brittle, chalky sealant on external joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Crowhurst first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
In and around smaller places like Crowhurst, 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.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

What sets the cost
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- How much existing material needs removing
- How much there is to seal
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Whether the work must be split into stages
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

FAQs: Crowhurst
Do you cover business parks and estates near Crowhurst, such as Bexhill Enterprise Park?
Yes. We cover Crowhurst and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Bexhill Enterprise Park. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Bexhill Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Do you guarantee expansion joint work?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails inside the 12 months, let us know.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
How a job runs
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. For work around Crowhurst, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- We start with photographs, 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.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in

Advice
For managing agents and facilities managers
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Crowhurst can sit alongside others in a wider programme across East Sussex.
Why it’s worth doing now in Crowhurst
Patching the worst lengths of a joint can make sense short term. But if the rest of the run is the same age and product, it’s normally not far behind and repeated access costs add up. We can price a patch and a full reseal side by side. Older rural buildings around Crowhurst move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.

General trades versus a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
