Expansion joint sealing for businesses in Appledore Heath
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What happens if it’s left?
Resealing is usually the answer, not replacing the element. Where the edges are sound, cutting out and resealing is enough. We will flag where edges need repair before sealing. Around Appledore Heath, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

About our expansion joint sealing in Appledore Heath
Our movement joint work takes in walls, panels, decks and floors: vertical joints in brick and block facades, joints between precast or cladding panels, concrete slab and deck joints, ramps, podiums and internal floors. Every one calls for a sealant picked for its movement, exposure and traffic, and we will confirm the choice in the quote. We work on brickwork movement joints, blockwork control joints and car park decks and ramps, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are arrises breaking up along floor joints and car park joints leaking onto vehicles below. For commercial sealant work in Appledore Heath, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
In and around smaller places like Appledore Heath, 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, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll arrange a return visit.

When to call us in Appledore Heath
Three-sided adhesion is a common cause of early failure. Bonded on three faces, it can’t stretch evenly when the joint opens, which is why depth control matters.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
For floors and slabs around Appledore Heath, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint.
What to look for in a quote
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
From enquiry to sign-off
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. Smaller jobs around Appledore Heath can be grouped with others nearby. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability, and flag anything that needs an engineer.

- 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.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.

Advice
What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- 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 you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work in Appledore Heath
- Cladding panel joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Brickwork movement joints
Different surfaces, different methods
Podium joints
Podium decks are exposed and often trafficked. We choose a product that copes with feet, wheels and weather.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Concrete edges can be weak or carry release agents that stop adhesion. We prepare the faces thoroughly and prime where the maker calls for it, so the new seal holds.
Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. Record which product went into which joints in the building file, so the next reseal starts with the facts.
Unsupported floor joint edges spall under forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Damaged edges make the floor rough and wear wheels faster and the broken length grows with every pass. Sealing early protects the edges.

The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift.
Around Appledore Heath, open joints collect water and debris, and the arrises are the next to go; we will tell you if the edges need repairing first.
