How we handle expansion joint sealing in How Green
Few joints take as much punishment as those in a car park. 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. We reseal deck and ramp joints with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement. Site teams most often ask us about new sealant over old, now failing and sealant pulling off the joint face, on podiums and floor movement joints, brickwork movement joints and blockwork control joints. Looking for mastic applicators who cover How Green? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Around smaller places such as How Green, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think before you book.

- Cladding panel joints

Common problems we fix in How Green
Three-sided adhesion is a common cause of early failure. Sealant fixed to the base and sides can’t flex, so it tears so backing is set before sealing.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
A healthcare site such as Edenbridge and District War Memorial Hospital, 2 miles to the west of How Green, depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- The named product and why it was chosen
- How they’ll work around occupants
Common questions from How Green clients
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Edenbridge and District War Memorial Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is How Green off your patch?
No. Places such as How Green are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Can you seal car park deck joints?
Yes, we do. Tyre loads, grit and de-icing salts make these some of the hardest joints to keep sealed.
How do I request a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
Will you quote for a small job?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Is movement joint sealing guaranteed?
The workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months from sign-off, and we are fully insured for public liability. Keeping joints clear of debris helps them last.
Expansion joint sealing around How Green: points for this area
How Green is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint. At about 23 miles from central London, How Green is within reach of the capital. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day.
In a school such as Hever Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.

What happens if it’s left?
A torn seal left alone normally gets worse. Grit and water fill the gap and the material either side breaks up, so a reseal turns into an edge repair as well. Resealing early keeps the work to sealant. Halls, stores and units around places like How Green may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
