FAQs: High Brooms
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Tunbridge Wells Nuffield Hospital, something you do?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Will you take on work at estates like Stag Trade Park, close to High Brooms?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around High Brooms, Stag Trade Park among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Can you quote from photographs?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Expansion joint sealing in High Brooms
Long runs of brick or block have movement joints built in that most people only notice when the sealant has gone. Once the seal fails, rain reaches the cavity and the joint can no longer close. The old seal comes out, backing goes in and a sealant with the right movement class is applied. Site teams most often ask us about previous reseals laid over old sealant and expansion joints filled with dirt and stones, across blockwork control joints, cladding panel joints and brickwork movement joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in High Brooms it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Work in a smaller place like High Brooms is usually one building at a time, so we gather photographs and measurements first. Getting widths, depths and traffic details up front means one visit, not two.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

How a job runs
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed before the next one starts. Work in places the size of High Brooms is planned as a single visit where we can. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- 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.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Move anything stored against the joints

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Combining joint work with other maintenance reduces set-up costs. But joints already letting water in shouldn’t wait for a programme because damage continues. Urgent joints now, the rest later, is often the sensible plan. Small buildings around High Brooms suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

How the job changes by surface
Internal floor movement joints
Warehouse and retail floors have saw-cut induced joints and construction joints. Trafficked floor joints often get a semi-rigid filler, with a flexible sealant where movement is larger.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast and concrete panel joints move daily. The sealant needs the right movement capability and a controlled depth.
When it isn’t the sealant
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- 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 call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
