Expansion joint sealing in Ticehurst
Few joints take as much punishment as those in a car park. Wheel loads, grit and de-icing salts attack the seal and the concrete either side, so failed seals soon lead to leaks onto the level below and broken edges. A sealant suited to traffic and the expected movement goes in. If you are dealing with brittle, chalky sealant on external joints and expansion joints split through the centre of the bead, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Ticehurst is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Ticehurst have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

When to call us in Ticehurst
Repeated failure often traces back to the wrong product. Products not classed for the movement fail early. BS EN ISO 11600 classifies building sealants by movement capability.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
- Leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
Large sites such as Ticehurst House Hospital, 0.6 miles west of Ticehurst, have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels.
What your quote should include
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- The named product and why it was chosen
Maintenance after handover
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
Grit is the slow enemy of a joint seal. Grit trodden or driven into the joint works at the surface until it tears, especially on car park decks and warehouse floors. Regular sweeping keeps joint lines clear.
Unsupported floor joint edges spall under forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Damaged edges make the floor rough and wear wheels faster and the broken length grows with every pass. Keeping the filler or sealant sound protects the floor.
Questions about Ticehurst
Does your area include sites such as Parsonage Farm Business Centre, near Ticehurst?
Yes. We cover Ticehurst and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Parsonage Farm Business Centre. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is a smaller place like Ticehurst outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
What will the job cost?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. Send photographs or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
What sealant do you use in movement joints?
We choose a sealant with a movement capability that suits the joint as set out in BS EN ISO 11600. Where two different materials meet, a hybrid sealant can be the better choice.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
What if the joint edges are damaged?
Sound edges are essential. If they’re damaged, we will say so before any sealing.
What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Expansion joint sealing around Ticehurst: what changes locally
Ticehurst lies roughly 38 miles out from central London. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors. Ticehurst is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.
Office parks like Parsonage Farm Business Centre, 0.5 miles to the south-west of Ticehurst, have decks, ramps and clad elevations whose joints take movement every day. For a school such as Ticehurst and Flimwell Church of England Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.

Why deal with it now?
Combining joint work with other maintenance reduces set-up costs. Leaking joints need sealing now because damage continues. We can split the scope into urgent and planned. Around Ticehurst, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Our process
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. For a building around Ticehurst, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces.
- Closed-cell backing rod is set to depth, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints.
- Where the maker calls for primer, it’s applied first, then the bead goes in and is tooled to a concave finish.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
