How we handle expansion joint sealing in Funtington
Brickwork and blockwork walls have vertical movement joints at intervals that most people only notice when the sealant has gone. Once the seal fails, rain reaches the cavity and the joint can no longer close. The old seal comes out, backing goes in and a sealant with the right movement class is applied, primed where the manufacturer specifies. The enquiries we see most involve previous reseals laid over old sealant and hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades, across cladding panel joints, podiums and floor movement joints and car park decks and ramps. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Funtington, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
For a site near Funtington, measurements and photos up front mean one trip where possible, with the right materials on hand. Tell us the joint widths if you can, and what drives or walks over them.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Work for main contractors and building owners
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Our process
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. If others near Funtington need work, visits can be combined. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- 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 and tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Cost factors for movement joints
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Access and working height
- How much there is to seal
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
What we need to price the job
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Your programme or deadline
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Why deal with it now?
Re-sealing with the same product that failed is often a false economy. A higher movement class, or a design change by the engineer, may be needed, and we’ll say so before quoting. For buildings around smaller places like Funtington, 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 specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Why us?
- One contact handling all your sites
- Public liability insurance in place
- A fixed quote before work starts
- Over 20 years of commercial sealing

General trades versus a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
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.

Surface by surface
Internal floor movement joints
Floor joints include saw-cut joints and construction joints. A semi-rigid filler is common in trafficked industrial floors, with a flexible sealant where movement is larger.
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.

Your questions answered
Is Funtington off your patch?
No. Places such as Funtington are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Is a hospital such as Chichester Centre somewhere you can work?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
How do I request a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
What guarantee do you give on joint sealing?
Each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship. Damage from later works or traffic loads outside the joint’s design isn’t a workmanship fault.
What happens if it rains on the day?
Outside work depends on conditions. Indoor joints can normally carry on regardless.
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.
How much does the work cost?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll price it properly.
