Expansion joint sealing around Broomhill: points for this area
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints. Broomhill is about 59 miles from central London. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London.
For an estate such as St Martins Hospital, 4.8 miles west of Broomhill, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time. Warehouse floors on estates like Wingham Industrial Estate (to the south of Broomhill) carry pallet trucks and forklifts over every saw-cut joint. For a school such as Wingham Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.
Broomhill is about 6 miles east of Canterbury, in Kent. Anywhere in CT3, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. We work across 931 places in Kent, from busy centres to rural villages. There’s a separate page for London, roughly 59 miles from Broomhill.

Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Broomhill
A movement joint only works while its seal does. When the sealant splits or lets go, the gap fills with dirt and water; the joint jams, its edges take the load and the arrises spall. Resealing at the first signs of failure is far cheaper than repairing the material either side. We work on cladding panel joints, brickwork movement joints and precast concrete panel joints, and what we are called in for most is expansion joints filled with dirt and stones and damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed. Most enquiries from Broomhill start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Jobs around smaller places like Broomhill are planned so the whole job is done in one visit, with the right materials on hand. Tell us the joint widths if you can, and what drives or walks over them.
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’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Leave it or put it right?
Patching the worst lengths of a joint can make sense short term. But if the rest of the run is the same age and product, it’s normally not far behind, and a second visit means paying for access again. We can price a patch and a full reseal side by side. For buildings around smaller places like Broomhill, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Doing it in-house
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. Rural sites near Broomhill may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- We assess the joints on site or from photographs, noting widths and how each has failed.
- 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.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site

- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

How the job changes by 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.
Joints between different materials
Some mixed-material joints suit a hybrid sealant. We pick the product for the materials and the movement, and confirm it in the quote.
Questions we’re asked in Broomhill
Is Broomhill too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Broomhill are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Would you work within a site like St Martins Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
How much does the work cost?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can you fit around our working hours?
We’re in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Owners, agents and contractors
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
We work for building owners and managing agents 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.
Honest limits
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
