Expansion joint sealing in Westergate
Brickwork and blockwork walls have vertical movement joints at intervals. 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 with primer where the maker calls for it. If you have new sealant over old, now failing and torn sealant in brick or block movement joints, we can put it right, whatever the surface. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Westergate first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around Westergate, most floor and movement joint jobs are single buildings or yards, so we gather photos and measurements first. That way the right materials come on the day and the job is done in one visit where possible.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Leave it or put it right?
Doing joint resealing alongside other planned works can save on access. Leaking joints need sealing now. We can split the scope into urgent and planned. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.
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.

Joints that move: notes for Westergate
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, while winter salting gets into any joint left open. Westergate is about 52 miles from central London. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift.
A healthcare site such as Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital, 3.1 miles to the south of Westergate, depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day. Office parks like The Woodhorn Business Centre, 1.6 miles west of Westergate, have decks, ramps and clad elevations whose joints take movement every day. Centres like Arun Retail Park, 2.6 miles to the south of Westergate, have mall floors and service decks whose joints carry steady traffic.
Westergate is about 3 miles north of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. If you are looking for expansion joint sealing in Westergate, we can help. Across West Sussex, 373 places are covered, including Westergate. There’s a separate page for Portsmouth, roughly 18 miles from Westergate.

After the work
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
Add every elevation, deck and floor joint to your inspection round. A periodic look picks up tears and lifting before water gets in, when they’re still cheap to deal with. If anything looks wrong, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with photos.
Rain gets into walls through torn brick and block movement joints. It can surface inside as damp a long way from the joint. Catching it early keeps the water outside.
FAQs: Westergate
Is a hospital such as Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Does your area include sites such as The Woodhorn Business Centre, near Westergate?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Westergate, The Woodhorn Business Centre among them, are all within reach. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can you send site paperwork?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you reseal car park expansion joints?
Yes. Deck and ramp joints are resealed with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit.
