How we handle expansion joint sealing in Lurgashall
We cover the full range of movement joints: vertical joints in brick and block facades, joints between precast or cladding panels, concrete slab and deck joints, ramps, podiums and internal floors. The product depends on the movement, the weather and anything that runs over it, and we’ll confirm the choice in the quote. If you are dealing with car park joints leaking onto vehicles below and joints packed with grit and debris, we can help, on precast concrete panel joints, car park decks and ramps and brickwork movement joints alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Lurgashall, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around smaller places such as Lurgashall, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

When to bring in a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
What we are called out for in Lurgashall
Most movement joint failures come down to the joint stretching further than the sealant can take. 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 unless width and product are reviewed.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
For an occupier at a site such as Colhook Industrial Park., 1.8 miles east of Lurgashall, the joints at loading doors and dock levellers usually see the hardest wear.
Before you book anyone

- What site paperwork they can supply
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
Your questions answered
Would you work within a site like Midhurst Community Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is Lurgashall too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Doing joint resealing alongside other planned works can save on access. But joints already letting water in shouldn’t wait for a programme, as damage continues meanwhile. Urgent joints now, the rest later, is often the sensible plan. Converted and older buildings near places like Lurgashall tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
Why us?
- Colour options checked against the specified product
- Constructionline member for supplier checks
- Commercial sealant work since 2005
- Fully insured, including public liability cover

Expansion joint sealing in Lurgashall: the local picture
Lurgashall is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. 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. The 3 miles around Lurgashall take in two 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.
Sites like Midhurst Community Hospital (4.1 miles south-west of Lurgashall) carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints. Another example is Hurstfold Industrial Estate, 1.8 miles to the west of Lurgashall, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers.

Surface by surface
Joints between different materials
Junctions between brick and render, or concrete and cladding, move independently. The product must bond to both substrates and cope with the movement, with primer where specified.
Cladding panel joints
Metal and composite panels shift considerably as temperatures change. The joints need a low-modulus sealant with enough movement capability.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by.

- We start with photographs, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability.
