When to call us in Tower Hill
When a bead pulls away from one face, it has lost adhesion. Dusty, damp or contaminated faces, a missing primer and three-sided adhesion are the usual causes.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
For a store at a site such as Tanbridge Retail Park, which lies north-east of Tower Hill, the service yard and goods-in area are where joints break down first.

About our expansion joint sealing in Tower Hill
Brickwork and blockwork walls have vertical movement joints at intervals 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 is cut away, backing rod goes in at depth, and a low-modulus masonry sealant is gunned and tooled, primed where the manufacturer specifies. If you are dealing with water getting into the wall through a failed joint and leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below, we can help, on blockwork control joints, precast concrete panel joints and brickwork movement joints alike. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Tower Hill it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Tower Hill have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- How much there is to seal
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Phasing around occupants
- Joint width, depth and condition
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What we need to price the job
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The product your specification calls for
For a fixed quote, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. Our quote form is another easy route.
Your questions answered
Is a hospital such as Horsham Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is Tanbridge Retail Park, near Tower Hill, within your area?
Yes. We cover Tower Hill and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Tanbridge Retail Park. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
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.
How long does movement joint sealing take?
It typically takes a short visit for a handful of joints, or several days or more for a car park deck or long runs of facade joints. We confirm the timescale with the quote, including any phasing.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
That depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
When something else is needed
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Maintenance after handover
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
Fresh joint sealant needs its full cure time before it takes traffic or water. How long that takes depends on the product, the temperature and the depth of the joint and we will tell you when each bay or area can reopen. Barriers left in place until then protect the finish.
On a multi-storey car park, a failed joint normally shows up as a leak onto the deck underneath. That water often carries de-icing salts with it. Sealing the joint promptly stops it at source.
Joints that move: notes for Tower Hill
Tower Hill lies roughly 33 miles out from central London. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital. The 3 miles around Tower Hill take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest.
For an estate such as Horsham Hospital (1.3 miles north-east of Tower Hill), the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time. For a school such as St John's Catholic Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.
Tower Hill is about 1 mile south-west of Horsham, in West Sussex. Any commercial site in Tower Hill is covered. Tower Hill is one of 373 places we cover in West Sussex for movement joints. For work in that direction, see our Brighton page (18 miles or so).

On site: what to expect
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For work around Tower Hill, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

What the job involves on each surface
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast panels often have surface residues that sealant won’t bond to. We prepare the faces thoroughly and prime where the maker calls for it.
Podium joints
Podium decks are exposed and often trafficked. We choose a product that copes with feet, wheels and weather.
