Leave it or put it right?
Doing joint resealing alongside other planned works can save on access. But joints already letting water in shouldn’t wait for a programme because damage continues. Urgent joints now, the rest later, is often the sensible plan. Around The Pound, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.

Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in The Pound
Joints in car park decks and ramps are among the hardest-working in any building. Wheel loads, grit and de-icing salts attack the seal and the concrete either side. We reseal deck and ramp joints with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement, phasing bays so the car park can stay in use. If you’re dealing with debris jammed in movement joints and weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes, we can help. Whoever orders the work in The Pound, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
For a site near The Pound, measurements and photographs up front mean one trip where possible, with the right materials on hand. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we will take it from there.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

On site: what to expect
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. For work around The Pound, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We start with photos, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take and tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Point out any areas we must not close

Related advice
Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
Grit is the slow enemy of a joint seal. Stones pressed into the bead by wheels or feet can puncture it, especially on car park decks and warehouse floors. A routine sweep is the simplest protection.
Rain gets into walls through torn brick and block movement joints. It can surface inside as damp a long way from the joint. Resealing promptly prevents internal damage.
The Pound: questions and answers
Will our site in The Pound have to close for joint sealing?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we will plan from there.
Is The Pound off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Why do our movement joints keep failing?
Normally the joint is moving more than the sealant can take. That’s why we check width, depth and movement class before quoting.
What do you charge?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, ring 01277 525 020 or email us with a description of the work.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
What guarantee do you give on joint sealing?
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. The guarantee covers how we sealed, not damage caused afterwards.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Traffic, movement and joints around The Pound
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, while winter salting gets into any joint left open. At about 46 miles from central London, The Pound is within reach of the capital. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day.
In and around The Pound, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes. A healthcare site such as Bexhill Hospital (to the south-east of The Pound) depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.
The Pound is about 5 miles north-west of Bexhill-on-Sea, in East Sussex. Looking for expansion joint sealing in The Pound? We can help, as we do across East Sussex. The Pound is one of 308 places in East Sussex on our list. We also cover Brighton, some 23 miles away.

Before you send an enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- What the building is and how it’s used

Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.

Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in The Pound can sit alongside others in a wider programme across East Sussex.
What sealant work can’t fix
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
