How we handle expansion joint sealing in Knockholt Pound

Most enquiries involve water getting into the wall through a failed joint and chipped joint edges on forklift routes, on blockwork control joints, podiums and floor movement joints and brickwork movement joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Knockholt Pound first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Knockholt Pound have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.

What affects the price in Knockholt Pound
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- How much there is to seal
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Any access equipment needed
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Details that help us quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Access details, including height
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
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’ll say so before quoting. Converted and older buildings near places like Knockholt Pound tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

Questions we are asked in Knockholt Pound
Is North Downs Business Park, near Knockholt Pound, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Knockholt Pound, North Downs Business Park among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Chelsfield Park Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
What causes movement joint sealant to fail?
It depends on how the sealant has let go: a split through the middle points to over-stretching, while peeling from one face points to preparation or primer. Sometimes the edge material itself has failed.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
What happens if it rains on the day?
Sealing onto a damp surface leads to adhesion failure. The work is simply moved to the next suitable day.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
That depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.

Do you need expansion joint sealing in Knockholt Pound?
Car park decks and floors face loads that walls never see. Wheel loads stress the sealant and the arrises, while de-icing salts and grit attack the seal. A sealant that isn’t trafficable won’t last there.
Look out for the following:
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
- New sealant over old, now failing
- Debris jammed in movement joints
A healthcare site such as Chelsfield Park Hospital, 2.9 miles to the north of Knockholt Pound, depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.

What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:

- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
