What the job involves on each surface
Podium joints
Podiums take foot traffic, planters and weather. A sealant suited to both traffic and exposure is used.
Internal floor movement joints
Forklift and pallet-truck wheels break unsupported joint edges. The right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement protects them.
How we handle expansion joint sealing in Biddenden Green
Internal floor joints take trolleys, pallet trucks and forklifts. Unsupported edges break up under wheels. If the arrises are already broken, we will say so before sealing, and phased work keeps areas in use. Site teams most often ask us about rain penetration at brick or block movement joints and sealant peeling off one face of the joint, across brickwork movement joints, precast concrete panel joints and podiums and floor movement joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Biddenden Green is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Around smaller places such as Biddenden Green, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Other services in Biddenden Green
Do you need expansion joint sealing in Biddenden Green?
Weathering wears down sealant on exposed elevations and decks. In time the bead chalks, stiffens and cracks, so it can’t follow the movement any more.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
In a school such as Smarden Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.

Questions about Biddenden Green
Can you work on a hospital site such as Benenden Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Do we have to stop operations in Biddenden Green while the joints are sealed?
In the majority of cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Why has the sealant in our expansion joints split?
Adhesion failure, cohesive failure, edge breakdown and UV ageing account for most cases. We diagnose which one it is before resealing since each needs a different fix.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
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 way they’re sealed is similar.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
How long will the joint resealing take?
Expect a short visit for a handful of joints, or several days or more for a car park deck or long runs of facade joints and phased work can stretch that to suit your site. Cure time before reopening is confirmed on the day.
Joints that move: notes for Biddenden Green
Biddenden Green sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints. At about 42 miles from central London, Biddenden Green is within reach of the capital. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift.
Hospitals like Benenden Hospital, 5.9 miles south-west of Biddenden Green, have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock.

When something else is needed
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.

From enquiry to sign-off
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before we move to the next. Smaller jobs around Biddenden Green can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Biddenden Green
Spot repairs can be useful on a tight budget. But if the rest of the run is the same age and product, it’s typically not far behind. We can price a patch and a full reseal side by side. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Biddenden Green. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
