Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Kings Worthy
Joints in car park decks and ramps are among the hardest-working in any building. Wheel loads, grit and de-icing salts attack the seal and the concrete either side. We reseal deck and ramp joints with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement. Most enquiries involve car park joints leaking onto vehicles below and layers of sealant in a movement joint, on podiums and floor movement joints, brickwork movement joints and precast concrete panel joints. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Kings Worthy, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Kings Worthy have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will arrange a return visit.

How the job changes by surface
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Mortar snots and debris in the joint stop it working. Everything is raked out before backing and sealant go in and flag any joint that seems undersized.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast panels often have surface residues that sealant won’t bond to. Proper cleaning and primer where specified give a sound bond.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.

What we’re called out for in Kings Worthy
The edges of the material can fail rather than the sealant. If the edge of the joint is friable, the bond fails with it so edge repair has to come before resealing.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
Retail parks like Moorside Retail Park (to the south of Kings Worthy) have long runs of car park and yard joints taking daily traffic.

Kings Worthy: questions and answers
Can you work on a hospital site such as Leigh House Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Kings Worthy too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Kings Worthy are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you send site paperwork?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Do you use silicone or polyurethane in movement joints?
Movement capability matters most as set out in BS EN ISO 11600. Hybrid or MS polymer products suit some mixed-material joints.

Why act early in Kings Worthy
Some quotes just add sealant over the old bead. A bead laid on top of the failed one neither grips nor flexes properly and soon lets go. Full removal and preparation is in every quote. Around Kings Worthy, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you are ready.

Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
Grit is the slow enemy of a joint seal. Grit trodden or driven into the joint works at the surface until it tears and decks and floors suffer most. Regular sweeping keeps joint lines clear.
An open joint fills with grit, and a joint full of grit can’t close. The edges then take the pressure and start to spall. Keeping the seal sound avoids all of that.
