How we handle expansion joint sealing in Leigh Green
Joint design counts for as much as the sealant itself. Joint width must suit the movement and the movement class of the sealant. For wider joints, the width-to-depth ratio is often around 2:1, as the manufacturer advises, and the bead is tooled so it grips the two faces alone. The enquiries we see most involve water dripping through deck or ramp joints and brittle, chalky sealant on external joints, across cladding panel joints, car park decks and ramps and precast concrete panel joints.

For a site near Leigh Green, measurements and photographs up front mean one trip where possible, with the right materials on hand. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we will take it from there.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Different surfaces, different methods
Internal floor movement joints
Wheeled traffic chips floor joint edges that aren’t supported. The right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement protects them flagging broken arrises before sealing.
Podium joints
Podium decks are exposed and often trafficked. We choose a product that copes with feet, wheels and weather.

From enquiry to sign-off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Smaller jobs around Leigh Green can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready

When to call us in Leigh Green
Sealant peeling cleanly off one side is an adhesion failure. Poor preparation, a skipped primer, or sealant bonded to the back of the joint are typical reasons.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
- Chipped joint edges on forklift routes
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
Schools such as Tenterden Church of England Junior School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.
Before you book anyone
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- How the existing material will be dealt with
Honest limits
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Cladding panel joints
Why deal with it now?
A torn seal left alone normally gets worse. Water and debris get in, the joint jams and the edges spall and the job grows to repairs as well as sealing. Acting at the first split keeps the cost down. Converted and older buildings near places like Leigh Green tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
