Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
Every joint we seal is backed by a 12-month guarantee on workmanship. Record which product went into which joints in the building file so future maintenance isn’t guesswork.
When one joint fails, others of the same age are rarely far behind. It pays to check every joint, not just the obvious one. We can suggest an order, worst joints first.
How we handle expansion joint sealing in Linchmere
For movement joints in Linchmere, photographs and approximate lengths are the best start. We will come and look where photographs don’t show enough, then send a fixed quote that names the sealant. You can also call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over to talk the joints through. If you are dealing with sealant pulling off the joint face and water getting into the wall through a failed joint, we can put it right, on cladding panel joints, brickwork movement joints and car park decks and ramps alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Linchmere, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around smaller places such as Linchmere, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Linchmere as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

How the job changes by surface
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Masonry faces are often porous, dusty or crumbly. Faces are prepared and primed wherever the sealant maker calls for it before the bead goes in.
Car park decks and ramps
Car park joints are some of the hardest-working joints in any building. We use a sealant made for wheel loads and the expected movement with bays done in phases so the car park keeps running.
Warehouse floors and decks around Linchmere
The 3 miles around Linchmere take in two named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest. Linchmere sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.
Another example is Unicorn Trading Estate, which lies north-east of Linchmere, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers. If you manage units on an estate such as Kings Road Industrial Estate, which lies north-east of Linchmere, the floor joints under forklifts and pallet trucks and the slab joints in the yard are the ones to watch. For a school such as Woolmer Hill School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.

From enquiry to sign-off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For work around Linchmere, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Advice
Linchmere: questions and answers
Is a hospital such as Holy Cross Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Does your area include sites such as Kings Road Industrial Estate, near Linchmere?
Yes. Our area takes in Linchmere and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Kings Road Industrial Estate included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Are you insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Is Linchmere in your area?
Yes. Sites across Linchmere are covered, with one number for every area we cover.
When it isn’t the sealant
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Car park decks and ramps

Why it’s worth doing now in Linchmere
Spot repairs can be useful on a tight budget. But if the rest of the run is the same age and product, it’s typically not far behind, and a second visit means paying for access again. Where it helps, we quote both options. Halls, stores and units around places like Linchmere may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Why us?
- Sealing commercial buildings since 2005
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet

Doing it in-house
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
