Owners, agents and contractors
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Wallcrouch can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
How a job runs
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Rural sites near Wallcrouch may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- We start with photographs, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability, and flag anything that needs an engineer.
- 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.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site

- Send your site hours and access windows

How the quote is worked out
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Sending details for a quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Any specification or named product
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

Common questions from Wallcrouch clients
Would you work within a site like Ticehurst House Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Wallcrouch, such as Parsonage Farm Business Centre?
Yes, sites like Parsonage Farm Business Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Wallcrouch. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit.
Can you work on car park ramps and decks?
Yes. Deck and ramp joints are resealed with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement, and phased work can be planned so parts of the car park stay in use.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
What will the job cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with a description of the work.
Why act early in Wallcrouch
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 Wallcrouch move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
A quote for movement joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Call for a quote.

When it isn’t the sealant
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Cladding panel joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
