Expansion joint sealing in Telscombe
Few joints take as much punishment as those in a car park. Tyres load the edges, and de-icing salts and water work into any gap; water dripping through to the deck below is often the first sign. We reseal deck and ramp joints with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement and the work can be phased so parts of the car park stay open. If you are dealing with layers of sealant in a movement joint and leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below, we can put it right, whatever the surface.

Work in a smaller place like Telscombe is usually one building at a time, so we gather photos and measurements first. That way the right materials come on the day and the job is done in one visit where possible.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Telscombe need work too, visits can be combined. Tell us your site hours and we’ll plan around them.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- Where the maker calls for primer, it’s applied first, then the bead goes in and is tooled to a concave finish.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

Telscombe: questions and answers
Will you take on work at estates like Meridian Shopping Centre, close to Telscombe?
Yes. Our area takes in Telscombe and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Meridian Shopping Centre included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Chailey Heritage Marine Hospital, something you do?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Do you guarantee expansion joint work?
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. Damage from later works or traffic loads outside the joint’s design isn’t a workmanship fault.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Can you seal car park deck joints?
Yes. We use a sealant designed for wheel loads and the expected movement, and phased work can be planned so parts of the car park stay in use.
Is Telscombe in your area?
Yes. Sites across Telscombe are covered.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Surface by surface
Internal floor movement joints
Floor joints include saw-cut joints and construction joints. Trafficked floor joints often get a semi-rigid filler.
Podium joints
Podiums take foot traffic, planters and weather. A sealant suited to both traffic and exposure is used.
What affects the price in Telscombe
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The size and state of each joint
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Any access equipment needed
- Working within restricted access windows
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- The type of building and who uses it
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The site address and postcode
- Specification clauses that apply
Send us photographs, 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.
What happens if it’s left?
Resealing is normally the answer, not replacing the element. If the material either side is sound, a properly prepared reseal restores the joint. If the edges have broken up, we’ll tell you they need repairing first. In a smaller place such as Telscombe, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Why appoint us
- Specification-led, product-correct work

Where floor joints take the most wear near Telscombe
Telscombe lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Open joints in coastal car parks and yards let in salt-laden water as well as grit, so it pays to keep them sealed. Telscombe sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.
Hospital campuses such as Chailey Heritage Marine Hospital (to the south-east of Telscombe) grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old. University campuses such as University of Brighton (to the east of Telscombe) have car parks, paved walkways and building elevations with movement joints. Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Meridian Industrial Estate (0.8 miles south-east of Telscombe): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time.
Telscombe is about 6 miles east of Brighton, in East Sussex. Telscombe sits inside our coverage and the rest of East Sussex, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else.

What we can’t put right
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We will tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer.
