About our expansion joint sealing in Swaile's Green
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. We work on precast concrete panel joints, blockwork control joints and podiums and floor movement joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades and joints packed with grit and debris. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Swaile's Green it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Jobs around smaller places like Swaile's Green are planned so the whole job is done in one visit, with the right materials on hand. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we will take it from there.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in East Sussex. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will come back to it.

Expansion joint sealing around Swaile's Green: what changes locally

Office parks like Vinehall Business Centre, 1.1 miles west of Swaile's Green, have decks, ramps and clad elevations whose joints take movement every day. Schools such as Staplecross Methodist Primary School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.

Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
What happens if it rains on the day?
Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range. Frost, rain and condensation on steel or concrete can hold up external work.
Can you fit around our working hours?
We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
What guarantee do you give on joint sealing?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails inside the 12 months, let us know.
Different surfaces, different methods
Joints between different materials
Different materials meeting at a joint rarely move in step. The product must bond to both substrates and cope with the movement priming where the maker calls for it.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast and concrete panel joints move daily. We use a sealant classed for the movement, laid over backing to depth.
Owners, agents and contractors
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Swaile's Green can form part of a wider programme across East Sussex.
How a job runs
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. For work around Swaile's Green, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- We assess the joints on site or from photographs, noting widths and how each has failed.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Send your site hours and access windows

Advice
Do you need expansion joint sealing in Swaile's Green?
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. Resealing like for like often fails the same way, so we check width and movement before quoting.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
- Debris jammed in movement joints
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
Large sites such as Conquest Hospital (5.4 miles south of Swaile's Green) have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels.
What to look for in a quote
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Who will actually carry out the work
- The named product and why it was chosen
