About our expansion joint sealing in Nackington
A movement joint only works while its seal does. When the sealant splits or lets go, the gap fills with dirt and water, the joint can’t close properly and its edges begin to crumble. Resealing at the first signs of failure is far cheaper than repairing the material either side. If you’re dealing with movement joints with split or torn sealant and chipped joint edges on forklift routes, we can help, on car park decks and ramps, precast concrete panel joints and brickwork movement joints alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Nackington, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Around smaller places such as Nackington, 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.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work in Nackington
- Cladding panel joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding panel joints
Metal and composite panels shift considerably as temperatures change. A sealant with the right movement class is chosen, and we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Podium joints
Podiums take foot traffic, planters and weather. A sealant suited to both traffic and exposure is used.
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 Nackington can be grouped with others nearby. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material, 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.
Getting the site ready
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Make sure the joints can be reached

FAQs: Nackington
Can you work on a hospital site such as The Chaucer Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is Nackington off your patch?
No. Places such as Nackington are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
How long before the joints can be used?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
What exactly is a movement joint?
Put simply, it’s a planned break in a wall, slab or deck so the materials can move. Expansion joint is a name often used for the same thing and both need a flexible seal.
General trades versus a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.

Aftercare for building managers
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
Movement joints belong on the planned maintenance inspection list. A periodic look picks up tears and lifting before water gets in and long before edges start to break. Should you spot a problem, you can ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and send a picture.
Floor joints with failed fillers break up quickly under wheels. Damaged edges make the floor rough and wear wheels faster and the broken length grows with every pass. Keeping the filler or sealant sound protects the floor.
