About our expansion joint sealing in Hall's Green
Width, depth and product all have to work together. The joint has to be wide enough for the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability while depth is limited by backing rod or, in shallow joints, a bond-breaker. For wider joints, the width-to-depth ratio is often around 2:1, as the manufacturer advises and the bead bonds to the sides, never the back. We work on precast concrete panel joints, blockwork control joints and cladding panel joints, and what we’re called in for most is water getting into the wall through a failed joint and previous reseals laid over old sealant. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Hall's Green is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Around smaller places such as Hall's Green, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

What else we do in Hall's Green
Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete and precast panel joints
Joints between precast panels open and close with temperature and loading. We use a sealant classed for the movement, laid over backing to depth.
Cladding panel joints
Metal and composite panels shift considerably as temperatures change. A sealant with the right movement class is chosen, and we will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
What we can’t put right
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal

How a job runs
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area.

- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- 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.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
What we need from you
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Questions we are asked in Hall's Green
Must our site in Hall's Green stop work while the joints are done?
Normally not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we will plan from there.
Is Hall's Green 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.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
What exactly is a movement joint?
The general name is movement joint, and expansion joint is one common type. In everyday use the two names are often swapped, and the sealing method is much the same.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Why has the sealant in our expansion joints split?
It depends on how the sealant has let go: tearing down the centre means too much movement, and lifting off one side means poor adhesion. Sometimes the edge material itself has failed.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Typically, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
When to call us in Hall's Green
When the movement exceeds the sealant’s capability, the bead tears. Cohesive failure, a split through the centre, typically 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.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
- Joints packed with grit and debris
University campuses such as University of Kent - Tonbridge, 4.3 miles to the south-east of Hall's Green, have car parks, paved walkways and building elevations with movement joints.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
