Expansion joint sealing in Felbridge
The seal is what lets a movement joint do its job. Once it fails, water, grit and debris get in; 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. If you’re dealing with expansion joints split through the centre of the bead and joints where the bead has lost adhesion, we can help, whatever the surface. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Felbridge? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Felbridge have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

How the job changes by surface
Car park decks and ramps
Car park joints are some of the hardest-working joints in any building. A trafficable sealant suited to the movement goes in with bays done in phases so the car park keeps running.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Concrete edges can be weak or carry release agents that stop adhesion. Proper cleaning and primer where specified give a sound bond.
What we are called out for in Felbridge
Most movement joint failures come down to the joint stretching further than the sealant can take. A joint that’s too narrow for the movement, or a product with the wrong movement class, will split through the middle. The same product in the same joint tends to fail again unless width and product are reviewed.
Look out for the following:
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
- Joints packed with grit and debris
For a school such as Felbridge Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.

On site: what to expect
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area.

- 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.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.

Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
Add every elevation, deck and floor joint to your inspection round. A periodic look picks up tears and lifting before water gets in, when they’re still cheap to deal with. If anything looks wrong, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with photographs.
A failed deck joint lets water straight through to the level below. Salty water dripping through stains soffits and lands on parked vehicles and it can affect the structure over time. Sealing the joint promptly stops it at source.
Felbridge: questions and answers
Is a hospital such as Queen Victoria Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Felbridge off your patch?
Not at all. Felbridge is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Do you reseal car park expansion joints?
Yes. We use a sealant designed for wheel loads and the expected movement, and phased work can be planned so parts of the car park stay in use.
Can you quote from photos?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
Expansion joint sealing in Felbridge: the local picture
Felbridge has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment. Central London is about 25 miles from Felbridge. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift.
At places like Silverwood Industrial Estate (1.8 miles west of Felbridge), joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on. If you manage units on an estate such as Birches Industrial Estate (0.5 miles south-east of Felbridge), the floor joints under forklifts and pallet trucks and the slab joints in the yard are the ones to watch.
Felbridge is about 2 miles north-west of East Grinstead, in Surrey. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Felbridge use us for work on movement joints. Across Surrey, 379 places are covered, Felbridge among them. We also cover Brighton, some 21 miles away.

What happens if it’s left?
A like-for-like reseal of a joint that keeps splitting rarely lasts. If the joint is too narrow or the product wrong for the movement, it needs a different approach and we will tell you honestly. For buildings around smaller places like Felbridge, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.

Doing it in-house
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
