How we handle expansion joint sealing in Kimpton
Width, depth and product all have to work together. Joint width must suit the movement and the movement class of the sealant, and depth is controlled using closed-cell backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints. For wider joints, many sealant makers recommend a width-to-depth ratio, often around 2:1. Site teams most often ask us about new sealant over old, now failing and chipped joint edges on forklift routes, on cladding panel joints, car park decks and ramps and precast concrete panel joints. Most enquiries from Kimpton start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In and around smaller places like Kimpton, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
We sign every job 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.

Honest limits
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think.

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 and we will tell you honestly. Older rural buildings around Kimpton move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Your questions answered
Do you cover business parks and estates near Kimpton, such as Weyhill Business Park?
Yes. We cover Kimpton and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Weyhill Business Park. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Kimpton too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
In many cases, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Do you guarantee expansion joint work?
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. Damage from later works or traffic loads outside the joint’s design isn’t a workmanship fault.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
When to call us in Kimpton
The edges of the material can fail rather than the sealant. Weak or crumbling concrete, brick or render edges give the sealant nothing sound to grip.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
- Debris jammed in movement joints
Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Ludgershall Business Park (2.1 miles north-west of Kimpton): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- What site paperwork they can supply
- How joint depth will be controlled
Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. Keep the handover details, product and date with your O&M records.
Rain gets into walls through torn brick and block movement joints. It can surface inside as damp a long way from the joint by which time the joint has been open for a while. Resealing promptly prevents internal damage.
When to bring in a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
From enquiry to sign-off
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. For work around Kimpton, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
