How we handle expansion joint sealing in Felderland
For movement joints in Felderland, photos and approximate lengths are the best start. Send them through our quote form, and we’ll arrange a site visit if needed. You can also call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to talk the joints through. If you are dealing with arrises breaking up along floor joints and leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below, we can help, on blockwork control joints, car park decks and ramps and cladding panel joints alike. Most enquiries from Felderland start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In and around smaller places like Felderland, 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.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Kent. Should something we installed fail, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll come back to it.

Questions we are asked in Felderland
Is Birnham Farm Business Centre, near Felderland, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Felderland and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Birnham Farm Business Centre included. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is a smaller place like Felderland outside your area?
Not at all. Felderland is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Does the weather affect joint sealing?
A wet joint can’t be sealed properly. We agree a revised date with you.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Working within restricted access windows
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.
Sending details for a quote
We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Specification clauses that apply
- Your programme or deadline
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work usually takes anything from part of a day to a couple of weeks, depending on joint lengths, widths and access. If others near Felderland need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We start with photos, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take.
- Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Confirm the product named in the specification
Quotes
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Closing a car park for a reseal is rarely an option. Work can be planned so parts of the deck stay open without shutting the whole car park. We agree phasing with you before work starts. For buildings around smaller places like Felderland, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

Warehouse floors and decks around Felderland
Felderland lies within about 3 miles of the sea. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, and edges left open tend to break up faster. Felderland is about 64 miles from central London. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day.
Schools like Sandwich Technology School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly. For buildings at a park such as Birnham Farm Business Centre (1.8 miles west of Felderland), brick and panel movement joints are easy to forget until one leaks.

When it isn’t the sealant
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal

What the job involves on each surface
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast and concrete panel joints move daily. We use a sealant classed for the movement, laid over backing to depth.
Internal floor movement joints
Forklift and pallet-truck wheels break unsupported joint edges. The right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement protects them, and tell you if edges need repairing first.
