Floors, slabs and movement joints in Middle Stoke
Middle Stoke lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. Middle Stoke 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.
In and around Middle Stoke, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.

How a job runs
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself typically taking a few hours to several weeks, depending on how many metres of joint there are and how much old sealant or filler needs removing. For work around Middle Stoke, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take, and flag anything that needs an engineer.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Point out any areas we must not close

What sealant work can’t fix
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.

When to call us in Middle Stoke
Weathering wears down sealant on exposed elevations and decks. UV hardens the surface, and the sealant loses its ability to stretch and opens at the next temperature swing.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
- Chipped joint edges on forklift routes
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
In a school such as Stoke Primary Academy, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.

Different surfaces, different methods
Podium joints
Podium joints often sit within a waterproofing system. We reseal the joint where sealant is the specified fix and flag it if the membrane looks like the source.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Joints between precast panels open and close with temperature and loading. The sealant needs the right movement capability and a controlled depth.
Work for main contractors and building owners
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Middle Stoke can form part of a wider programme across Medway.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Middle Stoke: questions and answers
Our building in Middle Stoke is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Is Middle Stoke off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Do you reseal car park expansion joints?
Yes. Tell us how the car park is used and which areas must stay open, and we’ll plan the phasing around it.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
