Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Hollingbourne
Central London is about 36 miles from Hollingbourne. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.
Large sites such as KIMS hospital, 3.9 miles west of Hollingbourne, have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels. Parks like Roebuck Business Park (2.2 miles south-east of Hollingbourne) combine paved areas, car parks and building elevations, each with joints that move. A campus such as Canterbury Christ Church University (1.6 miles east of Hollingbourne) has long runs of movement joint in its buildings, decks and paving.

Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Hollingbourne
Brickwork and blockwork walls have vertical movement joints at intervals, and they’re easy to miss until the sealant fails. Failed sealant here lets rain into the wall and can leave the joint full of debris. The old seal comes out, backing goes in and a sealant with the right movement class is applied with primer where the maker calls for it. The enquiries we see most involve torn sealant in brick or block movement joints and rain penetration at brick or block movement joints, on brickwork movement joints, car park decks and ramps and precast concrete panel joints. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Hollingbourne from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Hollingbourne have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Hollingbourne as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Your questions answered
Do you cover business parks and estates near Hollingbourne, such as Roebuck Business Park?
Yes. We cover Hollingbourne and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Roebuck Business Park. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is a smaller place like Hollingbourne outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you reseal car park expansion joints?
Yes. Deck and ramp joints are resealed with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Which product is best for expansion joints?
Whatever suits the joint and the specification. The quote states the sealant and its movement class.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Surface by surface
Concrete and precast panel joints
Joints between precast panels open and close with temperature and loading. The sealant needs the right movement capability and a controlled depth.
Joints between different materials
Hybrid or MS polymer sealants bond to many substrates. The choice depends on the substrates and how much the joint moves, and confirm it in the quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hollingbourne
Leaving a failed movement joint rarely stays a small problem. Water and debris get in, the joint jams and the edges spall. Resealing early keeps the work to sealant. Around Hollingbourne, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote when you are ready.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
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, then handed back before we move to the next. For a building around Hollingbourne, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces.
- Closed-cell backing rod is set to depth, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready

What sealant work can’t fix
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
