Expansion joint sealing in Green Street
Long runs of brick or block have movement joints built in. Failed sealant here lets rain into the wall and can leave the joint full of debris. The old seal comes out, backing goes in and a sealant with the right movement class is applied with primer where the maker calls for it. If you have water dripping through deck or ramp joints and sealant pulling off the joint face, we can help, on precast concrete panel joints, cladding panel joints and blockwork control joints alike. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Green Street first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Around smaller places such as Green Street, 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.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

On site: what to expect
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work typically takes anything from part of a day to a couple of weeks, depending on joint lengths, widths and access, and we clear our waste as we work. For a building around Green Street, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- 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.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- Where the maker calls for primer, it’s applied first, then the bead goes in and is tooled to a concave finish.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Car park decks and floors face loads that walls never see. Tyres and wheels press on the edges and the sealant. The product has to be suited to the traffic.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
- Leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
At a retail site such as Hastings Retail Park (2.1 miles east of Green Street), trolleys, cages and cars run over floor and slab joints all day.

After the work
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. Record which product went into which joints in the building file so future maintenance isn’t guesswork.
Unsupported floor joint edges spall under forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Damaged edges make the floor rough and wear wheels faster and the broken length grows with every pass. Keeping the filler or sealant sound protects the floor.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
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.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Leave it or put it right?
A failed joint seal doesn’t mean the slab, panel or wall needs replacing. Where the edges are sound, cutting out and resealing is enough. If the edges have broken up, we will tell you they need repairing first. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Green Street, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
A quote for movement joints depends on quantities, condition and access. Ask us for a fixed quote.

What we can’t put right
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal

Joints that move: notes for Green Street
The sea is no more than about 3 miles from Green Street. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. The 3 miles around Green Street take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest.
For an estate such as Bexhill Hospital, 2.5 miles south-west of Green Street, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time. On a site such as Pebsham Rural Business Centre, which lies south of Green Street, the movement joints are in car park slabs, paving and building elevations.
