About our expansion joint sealing in Argos Hill
Joints in car park decks and ramps are among the hardest-working in any building. Wheel loads, grit and de-icing salts attack the seal and the concrete either side, so failed seals soon lead to leaks onto the level below and broken edges. A sealant suited to traffic and the expected movement goes in and the work can be phased so parts of the car park stay open. If you have sealant peeling off one face of the joint and layers of sealant in a movement joint, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Argos Hill is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around smaller places such as Argos Hill, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
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.

How a job runs
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For work around Argos Hill, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We assess the joints on site or from photographs, noting widths and how each has failed.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- 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.

Advice
Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
Every joint we seal is backed by a 12-month guarantee on workmanship. Keep the handover details, product and date with your O&M records.
Rain gets into walls through torn brick and block movement joints. It can surface inside as damp a long way from the joint. Resealing promptly prevents internal damage.
How the job changes by surface
Car park decks and ramps
Deck and ramp joints take tyre loads, grit and de-icing salts. A trafficable sealant suited to the movement goes in, phased so parts of the car park stay open.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast and concrete panel joints move daily. We use a sealant classed for the movement, laid over backing to depth.
Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Argos Hill
Some joints were never sealed with the right product. A stiff or general-purpose sealant across a joint with large movement won’t cope. Movement capability is set out in BS EN ISO 11600, and specifications often refer to it.
Look out for the following:
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
At places like Lexden Lodge Industrial Estate (2.3 miles west of Argos Hill), joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.
What your quote should include
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- How they’ll work around occupants
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
Expansion joint sealing around Argos Hill: points for this area
The 3 miles around Argos Hill take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, while winter salting gets into any joint left open.
Estates like Millbrook Industrial Estate, 2.1 miles to the west of Argos Hill, combine warehouse slabs, yards and loading bays, all with joints under wheels. Large sites such as Crowborough War Memorial Hospital (3.7 miles west of Argos Hill) have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels.

Argos Hill: questions and answers
Can you work at a site such as Millbrook Industrial Estate, by Argos Hill?
Yes, sites like Millbrook Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Argos Hill. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is a hospital such as Crowborough War Memorial Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
What exactly is a movement joint?
The general name is movement joint, and expansion joint is one common type. On site, people tend to use them interchangeably and the way they’re sealed is similar.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
How long does movement joint sealing take?
The metres of joint, the access and the amount of removal decide it. As a guide, it typically takes a short visit for a handful of joints, or several days or more for a car park deck or long runs of facade joints.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
