Common questions from Bluetown clients
Must our site in Bluetown stop work while the joints are done?
Normally not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Is Kent Science Park, near Bluetown, within your area?
Yes, sites like Kent Science Park are within our area, along with the rest of Bluetown. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you work in Bluetown?
Yes. Bluetown falls within our area, and you can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form to get started.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
In most cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
How do I request a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
What sealant do you use in movement joints?
Movement capability matters most as set out in BS EN ISO 11600. Where two different materials meet, a hybrid sealant can be the better choice.
Expansion joint sealing in Bluetown
We cover the full range of movement joints: brickwork and blockwork joints, precast and cladding panel joints, concrete joints, car park decks and ramps, podiums and floor movement joints. Every one calls for a sealant picked for its movement, exposure and traffic, and we’ll confirm the choice in the quote. Most enquiries involve chipped joint edges on forklift routes and torn sealant in brick or block movement joints, on car park decks and ramps, podiums and floor movement joints and cladding panel joints. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Bluetown from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
In and around smaller places like Bluetown, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

How the quote is worked out
These are the things that shape the price:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Distance, for remote addresses
- How accessible the joints are
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Sending details for a quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Access details, including height
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Your programme or deadline
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
Keep wheels, feet and water off new joints until the sealant has cured. The time varies with product, conditions and joint depth. Barriers left in place until then protect the finish.
Joints sealed at the same time generally fail around the same time. It pays to check every joint, not just the obvious one. We will tell you which movement joints need doing now and which can wait.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. Rural sites near Bluetown may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.

Floors, slabs and movement joints in Bluetown
At about 39 miles from central London, Bluetown is within reach of the capital. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day. Bluetown 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 where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.
On a site such as Kent Science Park, 1.8 miles north-west of Bluetown, the movement joints are in car park slabs, paving and building elevations. A campus such as Canterbury Christ Church University, 3.3 miles south-west of Bluetown, has long runs of movement joint in its buildings, decks and paving.

When to call us in Bluetown
When a bead pulls away from one face, it has lost adhesion. Dusty, damp or contaminated faces, a missing primer and three-sided adhesion are the usual causes and it often shows on rushed work.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
In a school such as Milstead and Frinsted Church of England Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
Comparing quotes
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
What the job involves on each surface
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Brick and block edges need careful preparation. We clean them back to sound material and prime where the manufacturer specifies, then seal and tool the joint.
Car park decks and ramps
Car park joints are some of the hardest-working joints in any building. We use a sealant made for wheel loads and the expected movement.
