Need expansion joint sealing in Hollington?
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
What happens if it’s left?
Re-sealing with the same product that failed is often a false economy. If the joint is too narrow or the product wrong for the movement, it needs a different approach. Converted and older buildings near places like Hollington tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Joints that move: notes for Hollington
Rainfall across the South East, Hollington included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. 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. At about 57 miles from central London, Hollington is within reach of the capital. The roads out of London are lined with trade parks and distribution sheds.
For a school such as St Thomas' Church of England Infant School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays. Around Hollington, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves.

Your questions answered
Do we have to stop operations in Hollington while the joints are sealed?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we will plan from there.
What documents will you need to give us for a job in Hollington?
We will confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
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.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
What do you charge?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. Send photos or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, as long as we plan it. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Can weather delay the job?
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. Inside work is seldom held up.

Quoting for work in Hollington

Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Any specification or named product
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us.
Commercial clients in Hollington
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’ll confirm with the quote.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Our process
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Smaller jobs around Hollington can be grouped with others nearby. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- 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, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- Where the maker calls for primer, it’s applied first, then the bead goes in and is tooled to a concave finish.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Doing it in-house
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
