About our expansion joint sealing in Cramhurst
For movement joints in Cramhurst, photos and approximate lengths are the best start. We will come and look where photos don’t show enough. To discuss the joints first, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us. We work on blockwork control joints, podiums and floor movement joints and brickwork movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed and hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades. For commercial sealant work in Cramhurst, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
In and around smaller places like Cramhurst, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Maintenance after handover
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
Movement joints belong on the planned maintenance inspection list. A periodic look picks up tears and lifting before water gets in and long before edges start to break. Should you spot a problem, you can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and send a picture.
Floor joints with failed fillers break up quickly under wheels. Damaged edges make the floor rough and wear wheels faster. Keeping the filler or sealant sound protects the floor.

Questions about Cramhurst
Can you work on a hospital site such as Milford Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is Cramhurst off your patch?
No. Places such as Cramhurst are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Which product is best for expansion joints?
We choose a sealant with a movement capability that suits the joint. Where two different materials meet, a hybrid sealant can be the better choice.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Cramhurst
Most movement joint failures come down to the joint stretching further than the sealant can take. A joint that’s too narrow for the movement, or a product with the wrong movement class, will split through the middle. Resealing like for like often fails the same way, so we check width and movement before quoting.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
Hospitals like Milford Hospital (1.4 miles east of Cramhurst) have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock.
Questions to ask before you book
- The named product and why it was chosen
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
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 Cramhurst need work, visits can be combined. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- 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.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Some quotes just add sealant over the old bead. A bead laid on top of the failed one neither grips nor flexes properly. We cut out the old seal and prepare the faces every time. Converted and older buildings near places like Cramhurst tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.

When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
