Questions we are asked in Faygate
Do you cover business parks and estates near Faygate, such as Holmbush Potteries Industrial Estate?
Yes. We cover Faygate and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Holmbush Potteries Industrial Estate. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Would you work within a site like Crawley Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is colour matching possible?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Why has the sealant in our expansion joints split?
The way it has failed typically tells us why: tearing down the centre means too much movement, and lifting off one side means poor adhesion. Sometimes the edge material itself has failed.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Expansion joint sealing in Faygate, done properly
A movement joint only works while its seal does. Once it fails, water, grit and debris get in. Resealing at the first signs of failure is far cheaper than repairing the material either side. If you are dealing with new sealant over old, now failing and expansion joints filled with dirt and stones, we can help. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Faygate first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around smaller places such as Faygate, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. 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: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Faygate
On trafficked joints, wheels and salts do the damage. Tyres and wheels press on the edges and the sealant, while de-icing salts and grit attack the seal. The product has to be suited to the traffic.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
For an estate such as Crawley Hospital, which lies north-east of Faygate, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.

Across sites such as New House Business Centre, 1.2 miles south-west of Faygate, floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working. Schools such as Holy Trinity CofE Secondary School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.

Pricing movement joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.

- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Any specification or named product
- The site address and postcode
Pricing a project or setting a maintenance budget? We’ll quote against your scope and drawings you can plan around. If you have questions first, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Leave it or put it right?
Spot repairs can be useful on a tight budget. But if the rest of the run is the same age and product, it’s usually not far behind and repeated access costs add up. Where it helps, we quote both options. Around Faygate, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.

After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
Debris does more harm to joint sealant than most people realise. 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.
External wall joints that fail let rain into the masonry and cavity. It can surface inside as damp a long way from the joint. Catching it early keeps the water outside.
Our process
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we’re cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. Rural sites near Faygate may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Make sure the joints can be reached
