Expansion joint sealing in Rodmell, done properly
Internal floor joints take trolleys, pallet trucks and forklifts. Without a sound filler, joint edges chip and spall under load, so the right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement matters. We will tell you if the edges need repairing before sealing and phasing can keep areas working. Most enquiries involve previous reseals laid over old sealant and expansion joints split through the centre of the bead, across car park decks and ramps, blockwork control joints and podiums and floor movement joints. Whoever orders the work in Rodmell, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around smaller places such as Rodmell, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Quoting for work in Rodmell
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- The product specified
- How much there is to seal
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What to include in your enquiry
However big the job, the same details help:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Any dates the work must fit around
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. To take the first step, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
Add every elevation, deck and floor joint to your inspection round. A periodic look picks up tears and lifting before water gets in, when they’re still cheap to deal with. Should you spot a problem, you can phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and send a picture.
When one joint fails, others of the same age are rarely far behind. Inspecting the whole run is worth the effort so you can prioritise and budget. We will tell you which movement joints need doing now and which can wait.
Floors, slabs and movement joints in Rodmell
Rodmell 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. Rodmell sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.
University campuses such as University of Brighton (to the south-east of Rodmell) have car parks, paved walkways and building elevations with movement joints. For a school such as Priory School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Common questions from Rodmell clients
Is a smaller place like Rodmell outside your area?
No. Places such as Rodmell are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Is Cliffe Industrial Estate, near Rodmell, within your area?
Yes, sites like Cliffe Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Rodmell. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact.
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.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Common problems we fix in Rodmell
Sealant peeling cleanly off one side is an adhesion failure. Poor preparation, a skipped primer, or sealant bonded to the back of the joint are typical reasons, and it’s common on joints sealed in a hurry.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
- Chipped joint edges on forklift routes
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
Across sites such as Meridian Shopping Centre (2.7 miles south of Rodmell), floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Their public liability cover
- How the existing material will be dealt with
