About our expansion joint sealing in Colliers Green
Long runs of brick or block have movement joints built in. Failed sealant here lets rain into the wall and can leave the joint full of debris. The old seal is cut away, backing rod goes in at depth, and a low-modulus masonry sealant is gunned and tooled with primer where the maker calls for it. The enquiries we see most involve water dripping through deck or ramp joints and torn sealant in brick or block movement joints, on blockwork control joints, car park decks and ramps and brickwork movement joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Colliers Green, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around smaller places such as Colliers 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.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Common questions from Colliers Green clients
Is a smaller place like Colliers Green outside your area?
No. Places such as Colliers Green are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Does your area include sites such as Hartley Dyke Business Centre, near Colliers Green?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Colliers Green, Hartley Dyke Business Centre among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
What’s the difference between an expansion joint and a movement joint?
It’s a deliberate gap that lets the structure move without cracking. Expansion joint is a name often used for the same thing and both need a flexible seal.
Which product is best for expansion joints?
Whatever suits the joint and the specification. The quote states the sealant and its movement class, so you know what’s going in.
What guarantee do you give on joint sealing?
A 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship, and we are fully insured for public liability. Keeping joints clear of debris helps them last.
Is any job too small?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
Our process
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Jobs in and around smaller places like Colliers Green are normally planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We assess the joints on site or from photos, noting widths and how each has failed.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Advice
Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
Every joint we seal is backed by a 12-month guarantee on workmanship. Record which product went into which joints in the building file.
Rain gets into walls through torn brick and block movement joints. It can surface inside as damp a long way from the joint. Resealing promptly prevents internal damage.
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:
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal

- Cladding panel joints

Expansion joint sealing around Colliers Green: points for this area
At about 37 miles from central London, Colliers Green is within reach of the capital. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London. Rainfall across the South East, Colliers Green included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.
Hospitals like Benenden Hospital (to the south-east of Colliers Green) have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock. In a school such as Colliers Green Church of England Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. On a site such as Hartley Dyke Business Centre, 2.4 miles south of Colliers Green, the movement joints are in car park slabs, paving and building elevations.
Colliers Green is about 7 miles south-east of Paddock Wood, in Kent. Looking for expansion joint sealing in Colliers Green? We can help. Colliers Green is one of 931 places in Kent on our list. There’s a separate page for Brighton, about 34 miles away.

What sets the cost
Before we quote, we look at:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Working within restricted access windows
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The product your specification calls for
- The site address and postcode
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? We’ll quote against your scope and drawings you can plan around. If you have questions first, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us.
What happens if it’s left?
On a car park, resealing joints in phases keeps the deck open. Work can be planned so parts of the deck stay open, compared with a full closure. Tell us what has to stay open and we’ll plan around it. For buildings around smaller places like Colliers Green, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
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.
