Advice
Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Broxted
For movement joints in Broxted, photos and approximate lengths are the best start. We’ll come and look where photographs don’t show enough, then send a fixed quote that names the sealant. To discuss the joints first, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form. The enquiries we see most involve rain penetration at brick or block movement joints and joints packed with grit and debris, across blockwork control joints, precast concrete panel joints and car park decks and ramps. Whoever orders the work in Broxted, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around smaller places such as Broxted, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

When to call us in Broxted
Sometimes the sealant holds but the substrate breaks away. If the edge of the joint is friable, the bond fails with it.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Chipped joint edges on forklift routes
- Joints packed with grit and debris
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
Office parks like Williams Field Business Centre, 0.9 miles south-west of Broxted, have decks, ramps and clad elevations whose joints take movement every day.

Where floor joints take the most wear near Broxted
Broxted is about 34 miles from central London. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London. Broxted 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, while winter salting gets into any joint left open.
Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Mill End Business Centre (2.7 miles south-west of Broxted): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time.

Your questions answered
Is Broxted off your patch?
No. Places such as Broxted are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you work at a site such as Williams Field Business Centre, by Broxted?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Broxted, Williams Field Business Centre among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you guarantee expansion joint work?
The workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months from sign-off. Regular sweeping and inspection help the joints last.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
When can you be on site?
We are 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.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.

Owners, agents and contractors
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
General trades versus a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Why act early in Broxted
On a car park, resealing joints in phases keeps the deck open. Work can be planned so parts of the deck stay open. Tell us what has to stay open and we will plan around it. Halls, stores and units around places like Broxted may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.

Maintenance after handover
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
Floor joints on main traffic routes need watching more closely than the rest. Avoid standing heavy loads or racking legs on the joints, and report any chipped edges early.
Rain gets into walls through torn brick and block movement joints. The first sign is often a damp patch indoors by which time the joint has been open for a while. Catching it early keeps the water outside.
