Expansion joint sealing across Hoath

Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.

When it isn’t the sealant

Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:

  • Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
  • Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
  • Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb

Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Expansion joint sealing in Hoath

Our movement joint work takes in walls, panels, decks and floors: vertical joints in brick and block facades, joints between precast or cladding panels, concrete slab and deck joints, ramps, podiums and internal floors. The product depends on the movement, the weather and anything that runs over it. Most enquiries involve chipped joint edges on forklift routes and layers of sealant in a movement joint, on podiums and floor movement joints, blockwork control joints and brickwork movement joints. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Hoath from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.

In and around smaller places like Hoath, 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.

We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Maintenance after handover

To get the most from the new sealant:

  • Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
  • Check joints after long freezing spells
  • Report split or peeling joint sealant early
  • Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance

Snow ploughs and scrapers catch on joint lines. Lifting the blade at each joint avoids tearing the bead and a look at the joints after winter catches any damage.

An open joint fills with grit, and a joint full of grit can’t close. The edges then take the pressure and start to spall and the reseal becomes an edge repair as well. A sound seal keeps the joint working.

Your questions answered

Is Hoath too small for you to travel to?

No. Places such as Hoath are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.

Does your area include sites such as Chislet Business Park, near Hoath?

Yes. Our area takes in Hoath and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Chislet Business Park included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.

Can you work to our specification?

Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it.

When is resealing likely to be due?

It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.

Can you send site paperwork?

Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.

Can a joint be sealed if the edges are broken?

Sound edges are essential. If they’re damaged, we’ll say so before any sealing.

How soon can the area be used again?

Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.

What the job involves on each surface

Joints between different materials

Hybrid or MS polymer sealants bond to many substrates. We pick the product for the materials and the movement, and confirm it in the quote.

Brickwork and blockwork joints

Brick and block edges need careful preparation. We clean them back to sound material and prime where the manufacturer specifies, then seal and tool the joint.

Joints that move: notes for Hoath

Hoath sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, so it pays to keep them sealed. Hoath is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.

For a school such as Hoath Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays. For an estate such as Queen Victoria Memorial Hospital, 2.5 miles north of Hoath, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time. Parks like Chislet Business Park (to the south of Hoath) combine paved areas, car parks and building elevations, each with joints that move.

How a job runs

Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Smaller jobs around Hoath can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.

  1. Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
  2. 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.
  3. Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
  4. Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
  5. The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
  6. Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.

What we need from you

  • Confirm the product named in the specification
  • Arrange parking or a loading space
  • Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Why it’s worth doing now in Hoath

Patching the worst lengths of a joint can make sense short term. The remaining sealant is often close to failing too and repeated access costs add up. Where it helps, we quote both options. Around Hoath, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.

Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
