Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Crowhurst
Sometimes the sealant holds but the substrate breaks away. If the edge of the joint is friable, the bond fails with it, so we tell you if the edges need repairing first.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- Joints packed with grit and debris
On a site such as Lambs's Business Park, which lies west of Crowhurst, the movement joints are in car park slabs, paving and building elevations.

- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
Expansion joint sealing in Crowhurst
A movement joint only works while its seal does. When the sealant splits or lets go, the gap fills with dirt and water. Dealt with early, it stays a sealant job rather than a concrete or masonry repair. If you have torn sealant in brick or block movement joints and leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below, we can help, whatever the surface. For commercial sealant work in Crowhurst, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
For a site near Crowhurst, measurements and photos up front mean one trip where possible. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we’ll take it from there.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

What sealant work can’t fix
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal

How the quote is worked out
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Working within restricted access windows
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, the same details help:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Specification clauses that apply
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Your programme or deadline
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form if you’d rather talk the job through.
How a job runs
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work typically takes anything from part of a day to a couple of weeks, depending on joint lengths, widths and access, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For a building around Crowhurst, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability.
- Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Move anything stored against the joints

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Vertical movement joints in brick and block walls let the masonry grow and shrink. They take a low-modulus sealant with a movement class to suit.
Cladding panel joints
Cladding panels move more than masonry as they heat and cool. A sealant with the right movement class is chosen, and we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Doing it in-house
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
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, which is what makes a joint last.
Floors, slabs and movement joints in Crowhurst
Crowhurst is about 20 miles from central London. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day. Rainfall across the South East, Crowhurst included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.
For an estate such as Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders Clinic (3.4 miles north of Crowhurst), the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time. Across sites such as Hays Bridge Business Park, 2.9 miles south-west of Crowhurst, floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working.

Questions about Crowhurst
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders Clinic?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Does your area include sites such as Lambs's Business Park, near Crowhurst?
Yes, sites like Lambs's Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Crowhurst. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
How do I request a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call 01277 525 020 or email us. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Do you use silicone or polyurethane in movement joints?
The right product depends on the joint. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many facade joints, while polyurethane is common in trafficked floor and deck joints, and the specification has the final say.
