Honest limits
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We’ll tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Cladding panel joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Brickwork movement joints
How we handle expansion joint sealing in Lullington
Joints in car park decks and ramps are among the hardest-working in any building. Tyres load the edges, and de-icing salts and water work into any gap, so failed seals soon lead to leaks onto the level below and broken edges. We reseal deck and ramp joints with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement and the work can be phased so parts of the car park stay open. Site teams most often ask us about car park joints leaking onto vehicles below and layers of sealant in a movement joint, across cladding panel joints, podiums and floor movement joints and brickwork movement joints. Whoever orders the work in Lullington, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
For a site near Lullington, measurements and photographs up front mean one trip where possible, with the right materials on hand. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we will take it from there.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Lullington as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

What affects the price in Lullington
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Any access equipment needed
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Sending details for a quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
Pricing a project or setting a maintenance budget? We’ll quote against your scope and drawings that you can work with. For a chat about it beforehand, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
Fresh joint sealant needs its full cure time before it takes traffic or water. The time varies with product, conditions and joint depth and we’ll tell you when each bay or area can reopen. Barriers left in place until then protect the finish.
Unsupported floor joint edges spall under forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Broken arrises jolt trucks, loads and drivers, and the damage spreads along the joint. Sealing early protects the edges.
Lullington: questions and answers
Does the sea air around Lullington change the choice of sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Lullington, such as Berwick Court Farm Business Park?
Yes, sites like Berwick Court Farm Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Lullington. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
How long does movement joint sealing take?
That depends on joint lengths, widths, access and how much old sealant or filler needs removing. Typically it takes a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Surface by surface
Cladding panel joints
Access to cladding joints is agreed before the price is fixed. Close-up photos help us judge the joints.
Internal floor movement joints
Forklift and pallet-truck wheels break unsupported joint edges. We match the product to the traffic and the movement, and tell you if edges need repairing first.
Joints that move: notes for Lullington
The sea is no more than about 3 miles from Lullington. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, so it pays to keep them sealed. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.
Parks like Berwick Court Farm Business Park (to the north of Lullington) combine paved areas, car parks and building elevations, each with joints that move. At places like Cradle Hill Industrial Estate, 2.2 miles south-west of Lullington, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on. For an estate such as Chailey Heritage Marine Hospital, 4.3 miles to the west of Lullington, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.

From enquiry to sign-off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Rural sites near Lullington may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- Where the maker calls for primer, it’s applied first, then the bead goes in and is tooled to a concave finish.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
