How we handle expansion joint sealing in Upper Wellingham
We cover the full range of movement joints: vertical joints in brick and block facades, joints between precast or cladding panels, concrete slab and deck joints, ramps, podiums and internal floors. Every one calls for a sealant picked for its movement, exposure and traffic and we name it in the quote. If you are dealing with expansion joints filled with dirt and stones and brittle, chalky sealant on external joints, we can put it right. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Upper Wellingham it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Around smaller places such as Upper Wellingham, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. 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’re upfront about that.

After the work
For the best life from the joints:
- Check joints after long freezing spells
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
Every joint we seal is backed by a 12-month guarantee on workmanship. Keep the handover details, product and date with your O&M records so future maintenance isn’t guesswork.
Rain gets into walls through torn brick and block movement joints. It can surface inside as damp a long way from the joint by which time the joint has been open for a while. Catching it early keeps the water outside.

Why it’s worth doing now in Upper Wellingham
Combining joint work with other maintenance reduces set-up costs. 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. Older rural buildings around Upper Wellingham move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
Why us?
- Colour agreed before work starts
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows

What the job involves on each surface
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, phased so parts of the car park stay open.
Internal floor movement joints
Wheeled traffic chips floor joint edges that aren’t supported. We match the product to the traffic and the movement, and tell you if edges need repairing first.
Questions about Upper Wellingham
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Lewes Victoria Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is a smaller place like Upper Wellingham outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
What do you charge?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us with a description of the work.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
What hours do you work?
We are 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.
