Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
Grit is the slow enemy of a joint seal. Grit trodden or driven into the joint works at the surface until it tears. A routine sweep is the simplest protection.
Joints sealed at the same time generally fail around the same time. Inspecting the whole run is worth the effort, so the work can be planned rather than rushed. We’ll tell you which movement joints need doing now and which can wait.
Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Jevington
Joints in car park decks and ramps are among the hardest-working in any building. Wheel loads, grit and de-icing salts attack the seal and the concrete either side, so failed seals soon lead to leaks onto the level below and broken edges. A sealant suited to traffic and the expected movement goes in. If you have sealant pulling off the joint face and expansion joints split through the centre of the bead, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Jevington it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Jevington have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
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.

Why act early in Jevington
Leaving a failed movement joint rarely stays a small problem. Water and debris get in, the joint jams and the edges spall and the job grows to repairs as well as sealing. Resealing early keeps the work to sealant. For buildings around smaller places like Jevington, 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.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. For a building around Jevington, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- Closed-cell backing rod is set to depth, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Related advice
When to call us in Jevington
When the movement exceeds the sealant’s capability, the bead tears. A joint that’s too narrow for the movement, or a product with the wrong movement class, will split through the middle. Resealing like for like often fails the same way, so we check width and movement before quoting.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
- Joints packed with grit and debris
University campuses such as University of Brighton Eastbourne Campus, 3.4 miles to the south-east of Jevington, have car parks, paved walkways and building elevations with movement joints.

When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Jevington: questions and answers
Our building in Jevington is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Does your area include sites such as Chaucer Industrial Estate, near Jevington?
Yes. We cover Jevington and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Chaucer Industrial Estate. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
What timescale should we allow for resealing expansion joints?
Allow a short visit for a handful of joints, or several days or more for a car park deck or long runs of facade joints. Timings are set out in the quote, including any phasing.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Do you use silicone or polyurethane in movement joints?
We choose a sealant with a movement capability that suits the joint, classified under BS EN ISO 11600. Hybrid or MS polymer products suit some mixed-material joints.
Floors, slabs and movement joints in Jevington
Jevington sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles. Open joints in coastal car parks and yards let in salt-laden water as well as grit, so it pays to keep them sealed. Jevington is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.
For a centre such as Hampden Park Retail Park, 2.9 miles east of Jevington, the service yard and car park joints normally need attention first. Hospitals like Eastbourne District General Hospital (to the east of Jevington) have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock.
