About our expansion joint sealing in Mountain Street
We cover the full range of movement joints: brickwork and blockwork joints, precast and cladding panel joints, concrete joints, car park decks and ramps, podiums and floor movement joints. The product depends on the movement, the weather and anything that runs over it. Most enquiries involve car park joints leaking onto vehicles below and previous reseals laid over old sealant, across brickwork movement joints, precast concrete panel joints and car park decks and ramps. Most enquiries from Mountain Street start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: 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 Mountain Street have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Leave it or put it right?
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 will say so before quoting. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Mountain Street. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

Questions about Mountain Street
Is Mountain Street too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Kent and Canterbury Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can you fit around our working hours?
We’re in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
How do I request a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
What sealant do you use in movement joints?
Whatever suits the joint and the specification. We name the proposed product in the quote so there are no surprises.
What sealant work can’t fix
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

On site: what to expect
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Smaller jobs around Mountain Street can be grouped with others nearby. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- 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.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Getting the site ready

Should maintenance staff do it?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Commercial clients in Mountain Street
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.

Expansion joint sealing in Mountain Street: the local picture
Mountain Street sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint. Mountain Street lies roughly 49 miles out from central London. The roads out of London are lined with trade parks and distribution sheds.
For an estate such as Kent and Canterbury Hospital, which lies east of Mountain Street, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.
Mountain Street is about 6 miles south-west of Canterbury, in Kent. Our applicators travel to Mountain Street for work on movement joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Mountain Street is one of 931 places in Kent on our list for movement joints. We also cover London, around 49 miles from Mountain Street.
Commercial sites across CT4 are covered for movement joints. Nearby places we also cover include Chilham (1 mile north-east), Godmersham (1 mile south), Old Wives Lees (1 mile north), Shottenden (2 miles north-west) and Bilting (2 miles south) for movement joints. A short drive away, we cover Ashford (8 miles south-west), Canterbury (6 miles north-east), Sittingbourne (12 miles north-west), Folkestone (14 miles south-east), Whitstable (9 miles north) and Faversham (6 miles north-west).
Landmarks near Mountain Street
Around Mountain Street, our work takes us to commercial buildings near Woolpack Inn and Broadham Down and the streets around them. Mountain Street’s nearest station is Chilham station, roughly 0.8 miles north-east. Well-known places in the area include Kent and Canterbury Hospital (5.7 miles east) and Chilham Castle (under half a mile north).
When to call us in Mountain Street
With no backing rod or bond-breaker in place, sealant grips the base of the joint too. Sealant fixed to the base and sides can’t flex, so it tears.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
In and around Mountain Street, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.
