Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Redoing a failed joint usually 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.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.

What we are called out for in Bay View
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.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
For floors and slabs around Bay View, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint.

Your questions answered
Does the sea air around Bay View change the choice of sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Is Bay View too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as 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.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
What sealant do you use in movement joints?
It depends on the movement, exposure and traffic. Facades often take a low-modulus silicone; floors and decks usually need a polyurethane.
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 guarantee expansion joint work?
A 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship. Regular sweeping and inspection help the joints last.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
For managing agents and facilities managers
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Joints that move: notes for Bay View
Bay View sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, and edges left open tend to break up faster. At about 43 miles from central London, Bay View 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.
Once a joint near Bay View opens up, grit and water get in and the edges start to break.
Bay View is about 4 miles east of Minster, in Kent. We cover commercial sites throughout Bay View, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. We work across 931 places in Kent, from busy centres to rural villages. Our London page has more on work in that area (43 miles or so).
Work on movement joints is covered throughout ME12, for business premises of every kind. For a building on Mustards Road, Warden View Gardens and Danes Drive or nearby, send details and we’ll quote for movement joints. Just outside Bay View, we also work in Uplees (4 miles south), Oare (5 miles south), Conyer (5 miles south-west), Teynham Street (5 miles south-west) and The Brents (5 miles south). Bigger towns within reach include Canterbury (11 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (8 miles south-west), Whitstable (7 miles south-east), Faversham (6 miles south), Herne Bay (10 miles east) and Minster (4 miles west).
How the job changes by surface
Podium joints
On podiums, the joint can belong to a larger waterproofing detail. We reseal the joint where sealant is the specified fix, and tell you if the problem looks like the waterproofing below.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Mortar snots and debris in the joint stop it working. Everything is raked out before backing and sealant go in, and tell you if the joint looks too narrow for the movement.
What happens if it’s left?
Patching the worst lengths of a joint can make sense short term. The remaining sealant is often close to failing too, and a second visit means paying for access again. We can price a patch and a full reseal side by side. Older rural buildings around Bay View move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Why appoint us

On site: what to expect
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work normally takes a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases, and we clear our waste as we work. Rural sites near Bay View may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- 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.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
What we need from you
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Let building users know which areas are affected
