About our expansion joint sealing in Telham
We’ve been sealing expansion and movement joints for over 20 years for contractors, facilities managers and owners. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, CSCS-carded applicators and five million pounds of public liability insurance. Each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship. Site teams most often ask us about previous reseals laid over old sealant and damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed, on brickwork movement joints, car park decks and ramps and cladding panel joints. Whoever orders the work in Telham, the brief is usually the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In and around smaller places like Telham, 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.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

What the job involves on each surface
Cladding panel joints
Metal and composite panels shift considerably as temperatures change. A sealant with the right movement class is chosen in a colour confirmed for that product.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Long brick and block elevations have movement joints at intervals. They take a low-modulus sealant with a movement class to suit laid over backing rod at the correct depth.
Joints that move: notes for Telham
Telham sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in. Telham lies roughly 49 miles out from central London. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day.
Another example is Marley Lane Business Park, 1.5 miles north of Telham, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers. Hospitals like Conquest Hospital (2.9 miles south-east of Telham) have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock. Office parks like Rutherford Business Park, 1.3 miles north of Telham, have decks, ramps and clad elevations whose joints take movement every day.
Telham is about 4 miles north-west of Hastings, in East Sussex. If you’re looking for expansion joint sealing in Telham, we can help, as we do across East Sussex. Telham is one of 308 places we cover in East Sussex for movement joints. For work in that direction, see our Brighton page.

Our process
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Smaller jobs around Telham can be grouped with others nearby. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Advice
Questions about Telham
Will you take on work at estates like Rutherford Business Park, close to Telham?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Telham, Rutherford Business Park among them, are all within reach. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Is Telham too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Telham is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Are expansion joints and movement joints the same thing?
They’re closely related. A movement joint allows for expansion, contraction, shrinkage and loading.
Can you send site paperwork?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
What do you charge?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call 01277 525 020 or email us.
Why it’s worth doing now in Telham
Resealing is usually the answer, not replacing the element. Where the edges are sound, cutting out and resealing is enough. If the edges have broken up, we’ll tell you they need repairing first. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Telham. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think before you book.
