For a site near Fleeden, measurements and photographs up front mean one trip where possible, with the right materials on hand. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we’ll take it from there.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

What sealant work can’t fix
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Common questions from Fleeden clients
Is Fleeden off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Does your area include sites such as St. Georges Business Centre, near Fleeden?
Yes, sites like St. Georges Business Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Fleeden. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Which product is best for expansion joints?
Movement capability matters most as set out in BS EN ISO 11600. Where two different materials meet, a hybrid sealant can be the better choice.
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. Typically it 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.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit before quoting.
Is colour matching possible?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
In most cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
Surface by surface
Internal floor movement joints
Floor joints include saw-cut joints and construction joints. A semi-rigid filler is common in trafficked industrial floors, with a flexible sealant where movement is larger.
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.
What we are called out for in Fleeden
On trafficked joints, wheels and salts do the damage. Tyres and wheels press on the edges and the sealant, while grit and salts work into any gap. A sealant that isn’t trafficable won’t last there.
Look out for the following:
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Chipped joint edges on forklift routes
- New sealant over old, now failing
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
Retail centres such as Gallagher Retail Park, 3 miles east of Fleeden, have floors, service yards and car parks with joints under constant traffic.
What your quote should include
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Who will actually carry out the work
Should maintenance staff do it?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Owners, agents and contractors
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Fleeden can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Kent.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
How a job runs
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Smaller jobs around Fleeden can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- 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 tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Let us know about inductions and permits
Ask for a quote
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 will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
