Expansion joint sealing in Warningcamp
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
On site: what to expect
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. For work around Warningcamp, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take, and flag anything that needs an engineer.
- Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

How we handle expansion joint sealing in Warningcamp
Long runs of brick or block have movement joints built in that most people only notice when the sealant has gone. Failed sealant here lets rain into the wall and can leave the joint full of debris. 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. We work on precast concrete panel joints, podiums and floor movement joints and cladding panel joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are layers of sealant in a movement joint and damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed. Whoever orders the work in Warningcamp, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Warningcamp have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Common questions from Warningcamp clients
Is a smaller place like Warningcamp outside your area?
Not at all. Warningcamp is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Is a hospital such as Arundel & District Community Hospital somewhere you can work?
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.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
In the majority of cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Do you use silicone or polyurethane in movement joints?
Movement capability matters most, classified under BS EN ISO 11600. Hybrid or MS polymer products suit some mixed-material joints.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- The total length or number of joints
- The size and state of each joint
- Working within restricted access windows
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
What we need to price the job
We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:
- Any specification or named product
- Access details, including height
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- When you need the work done
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
How the job changes by surface
Car park decks and ramps
Deck and ramp joints take tyre loads, grit and de-icing salts. We use a sealant made for wheel loads and the expected movement with bays done in phases so the car park keeps running.
Podium joints
Podium joints often sit within a waterproofing system. Where the specification calls for sealant, we reseal and flag it if the membrane looks like the source.
Why deal with it now?
Closing a car park for a reseal is rarely an option. Phased work by bay or zone lets the rest stay in use without shutting the whole car park. We agree phasing with you before work starts. For buildings around smaller places like Warningcamp, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Why us?
- Colour options checked against the specified product
- CHAS accredited contractor
- One contact handling all your sites

Warningcamp sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, while winter salting gets into any joint left open. Central London is about 48 miles from Warningcamp. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London.
At places like Rustington Trading Estate (2.4 miles south of Warningcamp), joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on. For an occupier at a site such as The Vinery Industrial Estate, 1.1 miles to the south-east of Warningcamp, the joints at loading doors and dock levellers normally see the hardest wear.

A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
