When to bring in a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.

Common problems we fix in Tangmere
On trafficked joints, wheels and salts do the damage. Tyres and wheels press on the edges and the sealant. A sealant that isn’t trafficable won’t last there.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- Leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below
Schools such as Tangmere Primary Academy have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.

From enquiry to sign-off
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work typically takes a few hours to several weeks, depending on how many metres of joint there are and how much old sealant or filler needs removing. Several jobs near Tangmere can be grouped on one trip. Tell us your site hours and we will plan around them.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take, and flag anything that needs an engineer.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Let building users know which areas are affected

What affects the price in Tangmere
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The product specified
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Access and working height
- Travel to remote or island sites
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.
What we need to price the job
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- When you need the work done
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Keeping the joints sound
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
- Note which joints were done, when, and with what
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 call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over 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. We can suggest an order, worst joints first.
Your questions answered
Is Tangmere too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like St Richard's Hospital, something you do?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
When can you be on site?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Which product is best for expansion joints?
Whatever suits the joint and the specification. We name the proposed product in the quote so there are no surprises.
Do you reseal car park expansion joints?
Yes. Tell us how the car park is used and which areas must stay open, and we will plan the phasing around it.
Does weather matter for sealant 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. Internal work is rarely affected.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.

Tangmere lies roughly 52 miles out from central London. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London. Rainfall across the South East, Tangmere included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.
