How we handle expansion joint sealing in Felpham
Our movement joint work takes in walls, panels, decks and floors: vertical joints in brick and block facades, joints between precast or cladding panels, concrete slab and deck joints, ramps, podiums and internal floors. The product depends on the movement, the weather and anything that runs over it. Site teams most often ask us about sealant pulling off the joint face and water dripping through deck or ramp joints, across blockwork control joints, precast concrete panel joints and car park decks and ramps. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Felpham 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.
Work in a smaller place like Felpham is typically one building at a time. That way the right materials come on the day and the job is done in one visit where possible.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

What sets the cost
Before we quote, we look at:
- The total length or number of joints
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Before you send an enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- The site address and postcode
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back

Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
In warehouses, forklift and pallet-truck routes take the most wear. Avoid standing heavy loads or racking legs on the joints and flag chipped arrises before they spread.
Floor joints with failed fillers break up quickly under wheels. Damaged edges make the floor rough and wear wheels faster. Keeping the filler or sealant sound protects the floor.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
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. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Warehouse floors and decks around Felpham
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Felpham. 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. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.
Another example is Southern Cross Trading Estate, 0.9 miles to the north-west of Felpham, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers. Schools such as Felpham Community College have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.

Questions we’re asked in Felpham
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Bognor Regis War Memorial 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.
Is Felpham off your patch?
No. Places such as Felpham are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it.
How much does the work cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Why do our movement joints keep failing?
Most often the movement is too much for the product or the joint width. That’s why we check width, depth and movement class before quoting, rather than replacing like for like.
What guarantee do you give on joint sealing?
The 12-month guarantee applies to the workmanship. Tell us straight away if a joint we sealed gives trouble in that time.
What we can’t put right
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Brickwork movement joints
Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Felpham
Some joints were never sealed with the right product. A stiff or general-purpose sealant across a joint with large movement won’t cope. BS EN ISO 11600 classifies building sealants by movement capability.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
University campuses such as University of Chichester (Bognor Campus), under half a mile to the west of Felpham, have car parks, paved walkways and building elevations with movement joints.

- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
