How a job runs
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. If others near Jarvis Brook need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- A fixed quote follows, naming the sealant and its movement class.
- 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.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Advice
Expansion joint sealing in Jarvis Brook
For movement joints in Jarvis Brook, photos and approximate lengths are the best start. We’ll come and look where photos don’t show enough, then send a fixed quote that names the sealant. You can also speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to talk the joints through. We work on brickwork movement joints, car park decks and ramps and cladding panel joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are previous reseals laid over old sealant and brittle, chalky sealant on external joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Jarvis Brook, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Around smaller places such as Jarvis Brook, 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. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Do you need expansion joint sealing in Jarvis Brook?
Some joints were never sealed with the right product. A stiff or general-purpose sealant across a joint with large movement won’t cope. Movement capability is set out in BS EN ISO 11600.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing something like this:
- New sealant over old, now failing
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
Across sites such as Courtwell Business Park (under half a mile south of Jarvis Brook), floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working.

Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Expansion joint sealing in Jarvis Brook: the local picture
Jarvis Brook has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External joints still wait for dry conditions, while winter salting gets into any joint left open.
For an occupier at a site such as Lexden Lodge Industrial Estate, less than half a mile south-east of Jarvis Brook, the joints at loading doors and dock levellers typically see the hardest wear. A healthcare site such as Crowborough War Memorial Hospital, 1.3 miles west of Jarvis Brook, depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.

What else we do in Jarvis Brook
Looking after the joints
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
Movement joints belong on the planned maintenance inspection list. A periodic look picks up tears and lifting before water gets in, when they’re still cheap to deal with. Should you spot a problem, you can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and send a picture.
Unsupported floor joint edges spall under forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Broken arrises jolt trucks, loads and drivers, and the damage spreads along the joint. Keeping the filler or sealant sound protects the floor.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Jarvis Brook
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Cladding panel joints
Cladding panels move more than masonry as they heat and cool. A sealant with the right movement class is chosen.
Internal floor movement joints
Forklift and pallet-truck wheels break unsupported joint edges. The right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement protects them flagging broken arrises before sealing.
When something else is needed
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
