Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Brede
Internal floor joints take trolleys, pallet trucks and forklifts. Without a sound filler, joint edges chip and spall under load so the product has to suit both the traffic and the movement. We will tell you if the edges need repairing before sealing and phasing can keep areas working. If you have spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks and joints packed with grit and debris, we can help, whatever the surface. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Brede from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Brede have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Surface by 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, and we will tell you if any edges need repairing first.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Masonry faces are often porous, dusty or crumbly. We clean them back to sound material and prime where the manufacturer specifies.

Why act early in Brede
Some quotes just add sealant over the old bead. A bead over the old seal can’t bond or flex. We cut out the old seal and prepare the faces every time. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Brede. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote when you’re ready.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
Keeping the joints sound
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
- Check joints after long freezing spells
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
Debris does more harm to joint sealant than most people realise. Grit trodden or driven into the joint works at the surface until it tears and decks and floors suffer most. Regular sweeping keeps joint lines clear.
A failed deck joint lets water straight through to the level below. That water often carries de-icing salts with it, which is bad news for the concrete and the people parking below. Sealing the joint promptly stops it at source.
Your questions answered
Can you work at a site such as Wheel Farm Business Park, by Brede?
Yes. We cover Brede and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Wheel Farm Business Park. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Is a hospital such as Conquest Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
How long will the joint resealing take?
That depends on joint lengths, widths, access and how much old sealant or filler needs removing. As a guide, it usually takes a few hours to several weeks, depending on how many metres of joint there are and how much old sealant or filler needs removing.
What do you charge?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote and we will price it properly.
Is Brede in your area?
Yes. Sites across Brede are covered, and the same phone number covers every area.
When can you be on site?
We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Floors, slabs and movement joints in Brede
At about 49 miles from central London, Brede is within reach of the capital. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors. Brede 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.
Parks like Wheel Farm Business Park (1.9 miles south-west of Brede) combine paved areas, car parks and building elevations, each with joints that move. A healthcare site such as Conquest Hospital, 3.5 miles to the south of Brede, depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day. In a school such as Brede Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. If others near Brede need work, visits can be combined. 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.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- Closed-cell backing rod is set to depth, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
