Expansion joint sealing in Eastry, done properly
Floor movement joints in warehouses, retail and public buildings carry wheeled traffic. Unsupported edges break up under wheels, so the right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement matters. We’ll tell you if the edges need repairing before sealing and phasing can keep areas working. If you have car park joints leaking onto vehicles below and brittle, chalky sealant on external joints, we can help, on precast concrete panel joints, cladding panel joints and brickwork movement joints alike. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Eastry tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In a smaller place such as Eastry, floor and movement joints are often in agricultural and rural business units, schools and the odd small industrial yard. Their slabs and walls still need movement joints that work.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

What we can’t put right
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Questions we are asked in Eastry
Does a site in Eastry have to shut while its joints are sealed?
Normally not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Is Eastry off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Is any job too small?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
What timescale should we allow for resealing expansion joints?
That depends on joint lengths, widths, access and how much old sealant or filler needs removing. As a guide, it normally takes a few hours to several weeks, depending on how many metres of joint there are and how much old sealant or filler needs removing.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Do you guarantee expansion joint work?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails inside the 12 months, let us know.
Why deal with it now?
Closing a car park for a reseal is rarely an option. Phased work by bay or zone lets the rest stay in use, compared with a full closure. Tell us what has to stay open and we’ll plan around it. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Work in places the size of Eastry is planned as a single visit where we can. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability, and flag anything that needs an engineer.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Advice
After the work
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
Floor joints on main traffic routes need watching more closely than the rest. Keep racking feet and heavy point loads off joint lines.
Joints sealed at the same time generally fail around the same time. It pays to check every joint, not just the obvious one. We can suggest an order, worst joints first.
Traffic, movement and joints around Eastry
Eastry sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in. Eastry is about 63 miles from central London. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day.
In a school such as Eastry Church of England Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. Business parks such as Birnham Farm Business Centre (to the north-west of Eastry) have car parks, paved areas and long brick and panel elevations, all with movement joints.
Eastry is about 4 miles north-west of Deal, in Kent. We cover Eastry, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. We work across 931 places in Kent, large and small. Sites around London have their own page, about 63 miles away.

Cost factors for movement joints
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Phasing around occupants
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What to include in your enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- The site address and postcode
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- The type of building and who uses it
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
