Your questions answered
Is East Wittering off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do we have to stop operations in East Wittering while the joints are sealed?
In most cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, as long as we plan it. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Brickwork movement joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Blockwork control joints

Expansion joint sealing around East Wittering: how the place shapes the job
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from East Wittering. Near the sea, external slabs, ramps and decks see salt air and driven rain as well as their usual loads, which is why split joints are worth sealing before the edges deteriorate. Rainfall across the South East, East Wittering included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.
Around East Wittering, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves. Schools like East Wittering Community Primary School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.

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 easy to get wrong without experience.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Leave it or put it right?
On a car park, resealing joints in phases keeps the deck open. Work can be planned so parts of the deck stay open. Tell us what has to stay open and we’ll plan around it. Small buildings around East Wittering suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.
