Our process
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. For a building around Salehurst, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- Closed-cell backing rod is set to depth, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Advice
Expansion joint sealing in Salehurst, done properly
For movement joints in Salehurst, photos and approximate lengths are the best start. Send them through our quote form, and we will arrange a site visit if needed. To discuss the joints first, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. The enquiries we see most involve sealant pulling off the joint face and rain penetration at brick or block movement joints, on car park decks and ramps, precast concrete panel joints and blockwork control joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Salehurst tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In and around smaller places like Salehurst, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

FAQs: Salehurst
Can you work on a hospital site such as Ticehurst House Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Salehurst, such as Bodiam Business Park?
Yes, sites like Bodiam Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Salehurst. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs typically get a visit.

Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with a description of the work.
Can you seal car park deck joints?
Yes. These joints take wheels, salt and water, so product choice matters and broken edges are flagged before sealing.

Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
How long before the joints can be used?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.

What else we do in Salehurst
What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Brickwork movement joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Cladding panel joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Blockwork control joints
Work for main contractors and building owners
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
How the quote is worked out
To price the job, we consider:
- The product specified
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Access and working height
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
Details that help us quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Access details, including height
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
How the job changes by surface
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Brick and block edges need careful preparation. We clean them back to sound material and prime where the manufacturer specifies.
Podium joints
Podium joints often sit within a waterproofing system. We reseal the joint where sealant is the specified fix.
Do you need expansion joint sealing in Salehurst?
The edges of the material can fail rather than the sealant. Weak or crumbling concrete, brick or render edges give the sealant nothing sound to grip, so we tell you if the edges need repairing first.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- New sealant over old, now failing
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
- Joints packed with grit and debris
Hospital campuses such as Ticehurst House Hospital (5.6 miles north-west of Salehurst) grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.
Before you book anyone
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
