Expansion joint sealing in Goose Green
The seal is what lets a movement joint do its job. Once it fails, water, grit and debris get in, the joint can’t close properly and its edges begin to crumble. Resealing at the first signs of failure is far cheaper than repairing the material either side. Most enquiries involve new sealant over old, now failing and leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below, across car park decks and ramps, podiums and floor movement joints and precast concrete panel joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Goose Green it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Goose Green have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Our process
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. For a building around Goose Green, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- We assess the joints on site or from photographs, 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.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Honest limits
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Precast concrete panel joints

Goose Green: questions and answers
Can you work on a hospital site such as Tonbridge Cottage Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can you work at a site such as The Alders Industrial Estate, by Goose Green?
Yes. We cover Goose Green and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as The Alders Industrial Estate. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
What timescale should we allow for resealing expansion joints?
Expect anything from part of a day to a couple of weeks, depending on joint lengths, widths and access and phased work can stretch that to suit your site. We will confirm when each area can be used again.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
Can a joint be sealed if the edges are broken?
Spalled edges need repairing before a new seal will last. A bead on a broken edge soon lets go.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Typically, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
Doing it in-house
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
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.
Why act early in Goose Green
Re-sealing with the same product that failed is often a false economy. If the joint is too narrow or the product wrong for the movement, it needs a different approach. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Goose Green. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Joints that move: notes for Goose Green
At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Goose Green. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest. Rainfall across the South East, Goose Green 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.
If you manage units on an estate such as The Alders Industrial Estate, which lies north-east of Goose Green, the floor joints under forklifts and pallet trucks and the slab joints in the yard are the ones to watch. In a school such as Hadlow Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Mereworth Business Centre (2.4 miles north-east of Goose Green): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time.
