Expansion joint sealing in Herne Pound, done properly
Joints in car park decks and ramps are among the hardest-working in any building. Tyres load the edges, and de-icing salts and water work into any gap, so failed seals soon lead to leaks onto the level below and broken edges. A sealant suited to traffic and the expected movement goes in, phasing bays so the car park can stay in use. The enquiries we see most involve leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below and weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes, on brickwork movement joints, cladding panel joints and car park decks and ramps. Most enquiries from Herne Pound start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
In and around smaller places like Herne Pound, 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.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Herne Pound as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Our process
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 we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. For work around Herne Pound, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs 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.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
Getting a fixed quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
Advice
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
What we can’t put right
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Blockwork control joints
When to call us in Herne Pound
When the movement exceeds the sealant’s capability, the bead tears. 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.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
- Chipped joint edges on forklift routes
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Mereworth Business Centre (1 mile south-east of Herne Pound): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Distance, for remote addresses
- The size and state of each joint
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Before you send an enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Any specification or named product
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Any dates the work must fit around
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we will put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Herne Pound
Central London is about 26 miles from Herne Pound. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.
Schools such as Mereworth Community Primary School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook. For an estate such as Maidstone Hospital (4.6 miles east of Herne Pound), the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.

Herne Pound: questions and answers
Will you take on work at estates like The Alders Industrial Estate, close to Herne Pound?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Herne Pound, The Alders Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Would you work within a site like Maidstone Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
How much does the work cost?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote.
What timescale should we allow for resealing expansion joints?
It typically 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. Timings are set out in the quote, including any phasing.
Does the weather affect joint sealing?
Weather matters for any external joint. Internal floor joints are far less affected.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
