Why it’s worth doing now in Hurstpierpoint
Some quotes just add sealant over the old bead. A bead laid on top of the failed one neither grips nor flexes properly and soon lets go. Full removal and preparation is in every quote. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Why appoint us
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- CHAS accredited
- Public liability insurance in place
- Colour agreed before work starts

How we handle expansion joint sealing in Hurstpierpoint
Every structure moves a little, all the time: they expand in the heat, shrink as they dry, and shift under load. Expansion and movement joints are built in so the structure can move without cracking. Mastic Doctor reseals movement joints in brickwork, blockwork, concrete, cladding and floors on sites in Hurstpierpoint. The enquiries we see most involve brittle, chalky sealant on external joints and layers of sealant in a movement joint, across precast concrete panel joints, car park decks and ramps and podiums and floor movement joints. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Hurstpierpoint, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Small units near places like Hurstpierpoint are often converted farm buildings with new concrete floors. Joints in those slabs need a product suited to whatever runs over them, from pallet trucks to foot traffic.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Expansion joint sealing in Hurstpierpoint: the local picture
Hurstpierpoint is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint. The 3 miles around Hurstpierpoint take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment.
Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Victoria Business Park (1.7 miles north-east of Hurstpierpoint): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time. Business parks such as Kings Business Centre (to the north-west of Hurstpierpoint) have car parks, paved areas and long brick and panel elevations, all with movement joints. Sites like The Dene Hospital (2.1 miles north of Hurstpierpoint) carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints.
Hurstpierpoint is about 3 miles south-west of Burgess Hill, in West Sussex. Any commercial site in Hurstpierpoint is covered. Our West Sussex coverage takes in 373 places, from busy centres to rural villages. Brighton is covered too, around 7 miles from Hurstpierpoint.

Questions we’re asked in Hurstpierpoint
Is Hurstpierpoint off your patch?
Not at all. Hurstpierpoint is within our area. 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 The Dene Hospital 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.
What guarantee do you give on joint sealing?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. Tell us right away if a joint we sealed gives trouble in that time.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Do you use silicone or polyurethane in movement joints?
Whatever suits the joint and the specification. We name the proposed product in the quote, so you know what’s going in.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
After the work
After handover, these steps help:
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
Movement joints belong on the planned maintenance inspection list. Early splits and edges starting to lift show up on a routine check. Should you spot a problem, you can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and send a picture.
Joints sealed at the same time generally fail around the same time. Inspecting the whole run is worth the effort so you can prioritise and budget. We will tell you which movement joints need doing now and which can wait.

What else we do in Hurstpierpoint
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself normally takes a few hours to several weeks, depending on how many metres of joint there are and how much old sealant or filler needs removing, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For a site in Hurstpierpoint, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- 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.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
