Expansion joint sealing in Tile Hurst
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
What sets the cost
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- The size and state of each joint
- The product specified
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Working within restricted access windows
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
Before you send an enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- When you need the work done
- Clear photos of the problem areas
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Expansion joint sealing in Tile Hurst, done properly
Long runs of brick or block have movement joints built in that most people only notice when the sealant has gone. Once the seal fails, rain reaches the cavity and the joint can no longer close. The old seal comes out, backing goes in and a sealant with the right movement class is applied. We work on car park decks and ramps, brickwork movement joints and blockwork control joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are water getting into the wall through a failed joint and arrises breaking up along floor joints. For commercial sealant work in Tile Hurst, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
In and around smaller places like Tile Hurst, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

What happens if it’s left?
Spot repairs can be useful on a tight budget. The remaining sealant is often close to failing too and repeated access costs add up. We can price a patch and a full reseal side by side. Older rural buildings around Tile Hurst move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

On site: what to expect
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Jobs in and around smaller places like Tile Hurst are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
What we need from you
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Move anything stored against the joints

Where floor joints take the most wear near Tile Hurst
At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Tile Hurst. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints. Tile Hurst 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, while winter salting gets into any joint left open.
In a school such as Grovelands Community Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. A healthcare site such as Amberstone Hospital (1.9 miles north-east of Tile Hurst) depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day. Retail sites such as Hailsham Retail Park, 0.7 miles to the south-east of Tile Hurst, have car park, service yard and shop floor joints under constant traffic.

Your questions answered
Is a smaller place like Tile Hurst outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Would you work within a site like Amberstone Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
What hours do you work?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
How much does the work cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
- 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)
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surface by surface
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast and concrete panel joints move daily. We use a sealant classed for the movement, laid over backing to depth.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Mortar snots and debris in the joint stop it working. Everything is raked out before backing and sealant go in, and tell you if the joint looks too narrow for the movement.
