Expansion joint sealing in Lancing, done properly
If you need expansion joint sealing in Lancing, start with photos and joint lengths. Send them through our quote form, and we will arrange a site visit if needed, then send a fixed quote that names the sealant. You can also ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form to talk the joints through. We work on precast concrete panel joints, podiums and floor movement joints and cladding panel joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are previous reseals laid over old sealant and rain penetration at brick or block movement joints. Most enquiries from Lancing start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around places the size of Lancing, joints that need sealing tend to be in rural business units, farm buildings put to commercial use, schools and community buildings. Their slabs and walls still need movement joints that work.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Warehouse floors and decks around Lancing
Lancing is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, so it pays to keep them sealed. At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Lancing. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest.

Other services in Lancing
Do you need expansion joint sealing in Lancing?
Sometimes the sealant holds but the substrate breaks away. Weak or crumbling concrete, brick or render edges give the sealant nothing sound to grip so edge repair has to come before resealing.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Debris jammed in movement joints
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
Schools such as The Globe Primary Academy have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.
Before you book anyone
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Who will actually carry out the work
Doing it in-house
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.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
On car parks, winter clearance can damage deck joint sealant. Lifting the blade at each joint avoids tearing the bead, and it’s worth checking joints once the cold weather has passed.
Unsupported floor joint edges spall under forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Damaged edges make the floor rough and wear wheels faster, and the damage spreads along the joint. Sealing early protects the edges.
Honest limits
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think.

Our process
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. For a site in Lancing, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Clear photos and measurements help us bring the right products.
- We start with photos, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Point out any areas we must not close
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Lancing: questions and answers
Our building in Lancing is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Will you take on work at estates like Lancing Business Park, close to Lancing?
Yes. We cover Lancing and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Lancing Business Park. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
How do I request a quote?
There are 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.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Is colour matching possible?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
What causes movement joint sealant to fail?
The way it has failed normally tells us why: a split through the middle points to over-stretching, while peeling from one face points to preparation or primer. Broken edges are a third possibility.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
How the job changes by surface
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Mortar snots and debris in the joint stop it working. Everything is raked out before backing and sealant go in.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast panels often have surface residues that sealant won’t bond to. We prepare the faces thoroughly and prime where the maker calls for it, so the new seal holds.
