Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Aldrington
Internal floor joints take trolleys, pallet trucks and forklifts. Unsupported edges break up under wheels. We will tell you if the edges need repairing before sealing and phasing can keep areas working. If you have rain penetration at brick or block movement joints and sealant pulling off the joint face, we can put it right, on podiums and floor movement joints, precast concrete panel joints and car park decks and ramps alike. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Aldrington is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Around Aldrington, most floor and movement joint jobs are single buildings or yards. Getting widths, depths and traffic details up front means one visit, not two.

Aftercare for building managers
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
Add every elevation, deck and floor joint to your inspection round. Early splits and edges starting to lift show up on a routine check and long before edges start to break. If anything looks wrong, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with photos.
An open joint fills with grit, and a joint full of grit can’t close. The arrises crack and break away under the load. A sound seal keeps the joint working.
Our process
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we’re in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For a job in Aldrington, the main thing is a clear picture of the work. A fixed quote follows.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Related advice
Why act early in Aldrington
On a car park, resealing joints in phases keeps the deck open. Work can be planned so parts of the deck stay open, compared with a full closure. Tell us what has to stay open and we’ll plan around it. For buildings in places like Aldrington, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so we’d suggest renewing all the joints that are going, not just the worst.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Why appoint us

What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer.

Aldrington: questions and answers
Is Aldrington too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Aldrington are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Does your area include sites such as Portland Road Trading Estate, near Aldrington?
Yes. Our area takes in Aldrington and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Portland Road Trading Estate included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
What will the job cost?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Why do our movement joints keep failing?
The common causes are poor preparation, three-sided adhesion, the wrong movement class and weathering. We diagnose which one it is before resealing.
Can a joint be sealed if the edges are broken?
A bond is only as strong as the material behind it, so we’ll tell you if the edges need repairing before sealing. We flag it at the quote stage where we can see it.
What exactly is a movement joint?
Movement joint is the broad term for any joint built in to let a structure move. In everyday use the two names are often swapped, and the sealing method is much the same.
Where floor joints take the most wear near Aldrington
Aldrington sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Near the sea, external slabs, ramps and decks see salt air and driven rain as well as their usual loads, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. Central London is about 46 miles from Aldrington. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day.
A healthcare site such as Nevill Hospital, 0.7 miles north of Aldrington, depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day. University campuses such as University of Brighton Moulesecoomb Campus (to the east of Aldrington) have car parks, paved walkways and building elevations with movement joints. For a school such as Hove Junior School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.
