Surface by surface
Cladding panel joints
We confirm what access is in place before pricing. Photos taken near the joints help us price accurately, or we visit if they don’t show enough.
Car park decks and ramps
Car park joints are some of the hardest-working joints in any building. We use a sealant made for wheel loads and the expected movement with bays done in phases so the car park keeps running.

Your questions answered
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Arundel & District Community Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is a smaller place like Tortington outside your area?
Not at all. Tortington is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you work on car park ramps and decks?
Yes. These joints take wheels, salt and water, so product choice matters and broken edges are flagged before sealing.
What hours do you work?
We’re in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
What sealant do you use in movement joints?
The right product depends on the joint. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many facade joints, while polyurethane is common in trafficked floor and deck joints unless the specification names something else.
Do you guarantee expansion joint work?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails inside the 12 months, let us know.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.

Our process
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before the next one starts. If others near Tortington need work, visits can be combined. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We assess the joints on site or from photographs, noting widths and how each has failed.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

For managing agents and facilities managers

When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Honest limits
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We’ll tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Why act early in Tortington
Some quotes just add sealant over the old bead. A bead over the old seal can’t bond or flex and soon lets go. We cut out the old seal and prepare the faces every time. Around Tortington, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Send photos of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
A quote for movement joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.
