About our expansion joint sealing in Sun Rising
Brickwork and blockwork walls have vertical movement joints at intervals. Failed sealant here lets rain into the wall and can leave the joint full of debris. The old seal comes out, backing goes in and a sealant with the right movement class is applied. We work on car park decks and ramps, precast concrete panel joints and cladding panel joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are new sealant over old, now failing and car park joints leaking onto vehicles below. Whoever orders the work in Sun Rising, the brief is typically the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In and around smaller places like Sun Rising, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Our process
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. Rural sites near Sun Rising 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.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

What the job involves on each surface
Cladding panel joints
We confirm what access is in place before pricing. Close-up photos help us judge the joints, or we visit if they don’t show enough.
Car park decks and ramps
Deck and ramp joints take tyre loads, grit and de-icing salts. We use a sealant made for wheel loads and the expected movement with bays done in phases so the car park keeps running.
Why deal with it now?
A failed joint seal doesn’t mean the slab, panel or wall needs replacing. Where the edges are sound, cutting out and resealing is enough. If the edges have broken up, we will tell you they need repairing first. Around Sun Rising, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Why appoint us
- CSCS-carded applicators
- Fully insured, including public liability cover

Common questions from Sun Rising clients
Must our site in Sun Rising stop work while the joints are done?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Does your area include sites such as Alkerton Oaks Business Park, near Sun Rising?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Sun Rising, Alkerton Oaks Business Park among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Why has the sealant in our expansion joints split?
The common causes are poor preparation, three-sided adhesion, the wrong movement class and weathering. We diagnose which one it is before resealing, because the fix differs.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Quoting for work in Sun Rising
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- The total length or number of joints
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- How much existing material needs removing
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The type of building and who uses it
- The site address and postcode
- Any dates the work must fit around
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we will put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, phone 01277 525 020 or email us.
Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Sun Rising
Sun Rising sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. 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.
Business parks such as Alkerton Oaks Business Park (to the south-east of Sun Rising) have car parks, paved areas and long brick and panel elevations, all with movement joints.

General trades versus a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Common problems we fix in Sun Rising
When the movement exceeds the sealant’s capability, the bead tears. A joint that’s too narrow for the movement, or a product with the wrong movement class, will split through the middle. The same product in the same joint tends to fail again.
Look out for the following:
- Debris jammed in movement joints
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
Around Sun Rising, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves.
