Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
Add every elevation, deck and floor joint to your inspection round. Early splits and edges starting to lift show up on a routine check. If anything looks wrong, ring 01277 525 020 or email us with photos.
Floor joints with failed fillers break up quickly under wheels. Broken arrises jolt trucks, loads and drivers and the broken length grows with every pass. Sealing early protects the edges.
Expansion joint sealing in Chalksole Green
A movement joint only works while its seal does. Once it fails, water, grit and debris get in, the joint can’t close properly and its edges begin to crumble. Dealt with early, it stays a sealant job rather than a concrete or masonry repair. Most enquiries involve expansion joints filled with dirt and stones and weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes, across precast concrete panel joints, cladding panel joints and car park decks and ramps. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Chalksole Green it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around smaller places such as Chalksole Green, 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.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

How the job changes by surface
Internal floor movement joints
Forklift and pallet-truck wheels break unsupported joint edges. We match the product to the traffic and the movement, and tell you if edges need repairing first.
Cladding panel joints
Access to cladding joints is agreed before the price is fixed. Photos taken near the joints help us price accurately.
From enquiry to sign-off
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Smaller jobs around Chalksole Green can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- A fixed quote follows, naming the sealant and its movement class.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- 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.
Getting the site ready

Your questions answered
Is a hospital such as Buckland Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is a smaller place like Chalksole Green outside your area?
Not at all. Chalksole Green is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you use silicone or polyurethane in movement joints?
It depends on the movement, exposure and traffic. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many facade joints, while polyurethane is common in trafficked floor and deck joints unless the specification names something else.
Are expansion joints and movement joints the same thing?
The general name is movement joint, and expansion joint is one common type. On site, people tend to use them interchangeably and the way they’re sealed is similar.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Is movement joint sealing guaranteed?
The 12-month guarantee applies to the workmanship. If a joint we sealed fails inside the 12 months, let us know.
Warehouse floors and decks around Chalksole Green
Chalksole Green sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, and edges left open tend to break up faster. Rainfall across the South East, Chalksole Green included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. 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.
Large sites such as Buckland Hospital (3.4 miles east of Chalksole Green) have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels.

Why deal with it now?
On a car park, resealing joints in phases keeps the deck open. Work can be planned so parts of the deck stay open. We agree phasing with you before work starts. Older rural buildings around Chalksole Green move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.
