Our process
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. For work around Nonington, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- A fixed quote follows, naming the sealant and its movement class.
- 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.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Advice
Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Nonington
Internal floor joints take trolleys, pallet trucks and forklifts. Without a sound filler, joint edges chip and spall under load, so the right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement matters. If the arrises are already broken, we’ll say so before sealing. If you have debris jammed in movement joints and spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks, we can help, whatever the surface. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Nonington first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around smaller places such as Nonington, 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.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Floors, slabs and movement joints in Nonington
Central London is about 60 miles from Nonington. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors. Nonington sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.
On industrial estates such as Aylesham Industrial Estate, which lies west of Nonington, saw-cut floor joints, loading bay slabs and yard joints take the heaviest traffic. At places like CT3 Business Park (1.5 miles west of Nonington), joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.
Nonington is about 7 miles north-west of Dover, in Kent. Any commercial site in Nonington is covered. We work across 931 places in Kent, large and small. Our London page has more on work in that area.

Nonington: questions and answers
Do you cover business parks and estates near Nonington, such as Aylesham Industrial Estate?
Yes, sites like Aylesham Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Nonington. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is Nonington too far out for you?
Not at all. Nonington is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Is any job too small?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
When can you be on site?
We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Nonington
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Nonington
Sealant peeling cleanly off one side is an adhesion failure. Dusty, damp or contaminated faces, a missing primer and three-sided adhesion are the usual causes, and it’s common on joints sealed in a hurry.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- New sealant over old, now failing
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
In a school such as Nonington Church of England Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
What your quote should include
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What site paperwork they can supply
Leave it or put it right?
A like-for-like reseal of a joint that keeps splitting rarely lasts. A higher movement class, or a design change by the engineer, may be needed, 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 Nonington, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Read what affects the cost and how we’re accredited.
How the job changes by surface
Concrete and precast panel joints
Concrete edges can be weak or carry release agents that stop adhesion. We prepare the faces thoroughly and prime where the maker calls for it and check the edges for soundness as we go.
Podium joints
Podiums take foot traffic, planters and weather. We choose a product that copes with feet, wheels and weather.
Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
