Questions about Blean
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Eastbridge Hospital of St Thomas the Martyr?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can you work at a site such as John Roberts Business Park, by Blean?
Yes. We cover Blean and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as John Roberts Business Park. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
What causes movement joint sealant to fail?
Typically the joint is moving more than the sealant can take. That’s why we check width, depth and movement class before quoting, rather than replacing like for like.
Do you reseal car park expansion joints?
Yes. Tell us how the car park is used and which areas must stay open and we will plan around them.
How much does the work cost?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote.
Can a joint be sealed if the edges are broken?
Broken arrises have to be put right before resealing. A bead on a broken edge soon lets go.
Expansion joint sealing in Blean
Our movement joint work takes in walls, panels, decks and floors: brickwork and blockwork joints, precast and cladding panel joints, concrete joints, car park decks and ramps, podiums and floor movement joints. The product depends on the movement, the weather and anything that runs over it, and we’ll confirm the choice in the quote. We work on car park decks and ramps, cladding panel joints and blockwork control joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are movement joints with split or torn sealant and joints where the bead has lost adhesion. For commercial sealant work in Blean, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Blean have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Blean. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.

When to call us in Blean
When the movement exceeds the sealant’s capability, the bead tears. A joint that’s too narrow for the movement, or a product with the wrong movement class, will split through the middle. Resealing like for like often fails the same way.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
Office parks like John Roberts Business Park (1.1 miles north-west of Blean) have decks, ramps and clad elevations whose joints take movement every day.

Where floor joints take the most wear near Blean
Less than 3 miles from Blean there are at least three named estates and business parks. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic. Blean is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.
At a retail site such as Whitefriars Shopping Centre, 2.6 miles south-east of Blean, trolleys, cages and cars run over floor and slab joints all day. A healthcare site such as Eastbridge Hospital of St Thomas the Martyr (to the south-east of Blean) depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.

How a job runs
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. For a building around Blean, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- 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.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- Closed-cell backing rod is set to depth, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints.
- Where the maker calls for primer, it’s applied first, then the bead goes in and is tooled to a concave finish.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.

Advice
After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
On car parks, winter clearance can damage deck joint sealant. Lifting the blade at each joint avoids tearing the bead and a look at the joints after winter catches any damage.
Once debris packs a failed joint, the structure has nowhere to expand. The arrises crack and break away under the load and the reseal becomes an edge repair as well. Keeping the seal sound avoids all of that.
What the job involves on each surface
Car park decks and ramps
Failed deck joints often show as leaks on the level below. We strip the old seal, prepare the edges and seal again flagging broken edges along the way.
Podium joints
Podium decks are exposed and often trafficked. A sealant suited to both traffic and exposure is used.
