Do you need expansion joint sealing in Loose?
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, so we tell you if the edges need repairing first.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
- New sealant over old, now failing
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
A campus such as University for the Creative Arts - Maidstone, 2.4 miles north of Loose, has long runs of movement joint in its buildings, decks and paving.

Why it’s worth doing now in Loose
Patching the worst lengths of a joint can make sense short term. But if the rest of the run is the same age and product, it’s typically not far behind and repeated access costs add up. Where it helps, we quote both options. For buildings around smaller places like Loose, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.
Why appoint us
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- CSCS-carded applicators
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting
- Work to your specification and the manufacturer’s guidance
Other services in Loose
Surface by surface
Podium joints
Podiums take foot traffic, planters and weather. A sealant suited to both traffic and exposure is used.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Masonry faces are often porous, dusty or crumbly. We clean them back to sound material and prime where the manufacturer specifies, then seal and tool the joint.
How a job runs
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. Rural sites near Loose may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- 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.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Your questions answered
Will you take on work at estates like Tovil Green Business Park, close to Loose?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Loose, Tovil Green Business Park among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like The Somerfield Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
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.
What guarantee do you give on joint sealing?
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.
Is Loose in your area?

How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
