Expansion joint sealing in Kiln Green
A movement joint only works while its seal does. When the sealant splits or lets go, the gap fills with dirt and water, the joint can’t close properly and its edges begin to crumble. Resealing at the first signs of failure is far cheaper than repairing the material either side. Most enquiries involve damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed and debris jammed in movement joints, on brickwork movement joints, precast concrete panel joints and car park decks and ramps. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Kiln Green tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Jobs around smaller places like Kiln Green are planned so the whole job is done in one visit. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we will take it from there.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Why deal with it now?
On a car park, resealing joints in phases keeps the deck open. Work can be planned so parts of the deck stay open, compared with a full closure. We agree phasing with you before work starts. Around Kiln Green, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

How the job changes by surface
Internal floor movement joints
Floor joints include saw-cut joints and construction joints. A semi-rigid filler is common in trafficked industrial floors.
Car park decks and ramps
Deck and ramp joints take tyre loads, grit and de-icing salts. We use a sealant made for wheel loads and the expected movement with bays done in phases so the car park keeps running.
Keeping the joints sound
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
Add every elevation, deck and floor joint to your inspection round. Early splits and edges starting to lift show up on a routine check, when they’re still cheap to deal with. Should you spot a problem, you can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and send a picture.
Joints sealed at the same time generally fail around the same time. Inspecting the whole run is worth the effort so you can prioritise and budget. We will tell you which movement joints need doing now and which can wait.
How a job runs
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Jobs in and around smaller places like Kiln Green are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- 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.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry.
- 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.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
Get a fixed quote
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with what you know.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, 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: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
What we can’t put right
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Brickwork movement joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Cladding panel joints

Questions about Kiln Green
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as St Mark's Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is Kiln Green too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Kiln Green is within our area. 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 sealant do you use in movement joints?
Whatever suits the joint and the specification. The quote states the sealant and its movement class so there are no surprises.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
Can you work on car park ramps and decks?
Yes. Tell us how the car park is used and which areas must stay open, and we will plan the phasing around it.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Do you guarantee expansion joint work?
Each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship. Damage from later works or traffic loads outside the joint’s design isn’t a workmanship fault.
