Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Common problems we fix in Pulborough
Sometimes the sealant holds but the substrate breaks away. If the edge of the joint is friable, the bond fails with it.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
- Joints packed with grit and debris
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Broomers Hill Business Park (1.1 miles north-east of Pulborough): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time.

How we handle expansion joint sealing in Pulborough
Internal floor joints take trolleys, pallet trucks and forklifts. Unsupported edges break up under wheels, so the right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement matters. We’ll tell you if the edges need repairing before sealing and phasing can keep areas working. The enquiries we see most involve joints where the bead has lost adhesion and arrises breaking up along floor joints, across brickwork movement joints, car park decks and ramps and precast concrete panel joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Pulborough is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Small units near places like Pulborough 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.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Expansion joint sealing around Pulborough: points for this area
At about 41 miles from central London, Pulborough is within reach of the capital. The roads out of London are lined with trade parks and distribution sheds, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day. Pulborough has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic.
Schools like St Mary's Church of England Primary School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly. If you manage units on an estate such as Station Approach Industrial Estate, which lies west of Pulborough, the floor joints under forklifts and pallet trucks and the slab joints in the yard are the ones to watch.

Other services in Pulborough
Surface by surface
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast panels often have surface residues that sealant won’t bond to. Proper cleaning and primer where specified give a sound bond, so the new seal holds.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
A brick movement joint full of old mortar or debris can’t close. We clear the joint fully before sealing, and tell you if the joint looks too narrow for the movement.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Our process
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself normally takes a short visit for a handful of joints, or several days or more for a car park deck or long runs of facade joints, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Several jobs near Pulborough can be grouped on one trip. Mention the building’s opening times and we will work within them.
- We assess the joints on site or from photographs, noting widths and how each has failed.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Advice
When something else is needed
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.

Common questions from Pulborough clients
Is Pulborough too far out for you?
No. Places such as Pulborough are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Does your area include sites such as Station Approach Industrial Estate, near Pulborough?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Pulborough, Station Approach Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you send site paperwork?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
What hours do you work?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
How much does the work cost?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Should maintenance staff do it?
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
