Expansion joint sealing in Kenardington
Joint design counts for as much as the sealant itself. The joint has to be wide enough for the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability, and depth is controlled using closed-cell backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints. For wider joints, the width-to-depth ratio is often around 2:1, as the manufacturer advises and the bead bonds to the sides, never the back. Most enquiries involve damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed and spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks, on car park decks and ramps, precast concrete panel joints and blockwork control joints. Most enquiries from Kenardington start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
In and around smaller places like Kenardington, 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.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Keeping the joints sound
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
On car parks, winter clearance can damage deck joint sealant. Raising blades over joints where possible protects the seal and a look at the joints after winter catches any damage.
Unsupported floor joint edges spall under forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Damaged edges make the floor rough and wear wheels faster. Keeping the filler or sealant sound protects the floor.
When to bring in a specialist
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.

Is Kenardington off your patch?
No. Places such as Kenardington are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.
Do you reseal car park expansion joints?
Yes, we do. These joints take wheels, salt and water, so product choice matters.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
