Expansion joint sealing in Finberry
We cover the full range of movement joints: vertical joints in brick and block facades, joints between precast or cladding panels, concrete slab and deck joints, ramps, podiums and internal floors. The product depends on the movement, the weather and anything that runs over it and we name it in the quote. We work on cladding panel joints, car park decks and ramps and podiums and floor movement joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are previous reseals laid over old sealant and leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Finberry first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
For a site near Finberry, measurements and photographs up front mean one trip where possible. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we will take it from there.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Finberry: questions and answers
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like William Harvey Hospital (Ashford)?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Does your area include sites such as Ashford Retail Park, near Finberry?
Yes. We cover Finberry and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Ashford Retail Park. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Why do our movement joints keep failing?
Most often the movement is too much for the product or the joint width. That’s why we check width, depth and movement class before quoting so the same failure isn’t repeated.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Finberry can form part of a wider programme across Kent.
Where floor joints take the most wear near Finberry
Rainfall across the South East, Finberry included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint. Central London is about 50 miles from Finberry. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital.
Sites like William Harvey Hospital (Ashford), 1.9 miles to the north-east of Finberry, carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints. Places like Ashford Retail Park, 1 mile to the north of Finberry, put trolleys over floor joints inside and cars over slab joints outside.
Finberry is about 2 miles south-east of Ashford, in Kent. Finberry sits inside our coverage, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Finberry is one of 931 places we cover in Kent. Sites around Brighton have their own page, roughly 49 miles from Finberry.

What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer.

What we are called out for in Finberry
Most movement joint failures come down to the joint stretching further than the sealant can take. Cohesive failure, a split through the centre, normally means the joint or product wasn’t right for the movement. The same product in the same joint tends to fail again unless width and product are reviewed.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
Across sites such as Bliby Business Centre, 1.2 miles to the south of Finberry, floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working.
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
Why act early in Finberry
Closing a car park for a reseal is rarely an option. Phased work by bay or zone lets the rest stay in use. We agree phasing with you before work starts. Older rural buildings around Finberry move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.

Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding panel joints
We confirm what access is in place before pricing. Photos taken near the joints help us price accurately or a site visit fills the gaps.
Car park decks and ramps
Deck and ramp joints take tyre loads, grit and de-icing salts. We use a sealant made for wheel loads and the expected movement.

On site: what to expect
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself usually takes anything from part of a day to a couple of weeks, depending on joint lengths, widths and access, and we clear our waste as we work. For work around Finberry, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- 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.
- 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.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
