About our expansion joint sealing in Wickstreet
Few joints take as much punishment as those in a car park. Tyres load the edges, and de-icing salts and water work into any gap, so failed seals soon lead to leaks onto the level below and broken edges. We reseal deck and ramp joints with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement. The enquiries we see most involve joints where the bead has lost adhesion and weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes, across cladding panel joints, car park decks and ramps and brickwork movement joints. Most enquiries from Wickstreet start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In and around smaller places like Wickstreet, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will arrange a return visit.

Quoting for work in Wickstreet
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- How much existing material needs removing
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Details that help us quote
However big the job, the same details help:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Access details, including height
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
To get a fixed quote, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the site address and an outline of the work. You can also send details through our quote form.
FAQs: Wickstreet
Is Wickstreet too far out for you?
No. Places such as Wickstreet are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Wickstreet, such as Deanland Business Park?
Yes, sites like Deanland Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Wickstreet. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Can you send site paperwork?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Do you reseal car park expansion joints?
Yes. Tell us how the car park is used and which areas must stay open.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. For a building around Wickstreet, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- We assess the joints on site or from photographs, noting widths and how each has failed.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Let us know about inductions and permits
Getting a fixed quote
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

Why it’s worth doing now in Wickstreet
Some quotes just add sealant over the old bead. A bead over the old seal can’t bond or flex. We cut out the old seal and prepare the faces every time. Around Wickstreet, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Pricing movement joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.
Why us?
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- Failed material removed, not covered up
- Constructionline member
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job

Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Wickstreet
With no backing rod or bond-breaker in place, sealant grips the base of the joint too. Bonded on three faces, it can’t stretch evenly when the joint opens so backing is set before sealing.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- Debris jammed in movement joints
Another example is Northfield Business Park, 2 miles to the north-east of Wickstreet, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers.
What to look for in a quote
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- The named product and why it was chosen
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee

What else we do in Wickstreet
Joints that move: notes for Wickstreet
Wickstreet is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in. At about 46 miles from central London, Wickstreet is within reach of the capital. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day.
Hospital campuses such as Hellingly Hospital Railway, 3.8 miles north-east of Wickstreet, grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old. For a centre such as Hailsham Retail Park (2.6 miles east of Wickstreet), the service yard and car park joints normally need attention first.
Wickstreet is about 3 miles west of Hailsham, in East Sussex. Across the BN26 postcode area, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. 308 places across East Sussex fall within our area, Wickstreet among them. There’s a separate page for Brighton, about 14 miles away.
Commercial sites across BN26 are covered for movement joints. Just outside Wickstreet, we also work in Arlington (1 mile south), Berwick (2 miles south-west), Ripe (2 miles north-west), Selmeston (2 miles south-west) and Golden Cross (2 miles north). Bigger towns within reach include Eastbourne (7 miles south-east), Bexhill-on-Sea (12 miles east), Seaford (7 miles south-west), Lewes (8 miles west), Hailsham (3 miles east) and Crowborough (13 miles north).
Local landmarks in Wickstreet
Recent enquiries here include premises near Park Mead Primary School and The Plough Inn. The nearest railway station is Berwick (Sussex) station, roughly 1.5 miles south-west of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Drusillas Museum (2.8 miles south) and Burlough Castle (2.9 miles south). Not far away are Firle Beacon.
What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Brickwork movement joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Precast concrete panel joints
