Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Oad Street
Long runs of brick or block have movement joints built in. Failed sealant here lets rain into the wall and can leave the joint full of debris. The old seal comes out, backing goes in and a sealant with the right movement class is applied with primer where the maker calls for it. If you have sealant pulling off the joint face and layers of sealant in a movement joint, we can help, on car park decks and ramps, brickwork movement joints and cladding panel joints alike.

Do you need expansion joint sealing in Oad Street?
The edges of the material can fail rather than the sealant. If the edge of the joint is friable, the bond fails with it so edge repair has to come before resealing.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Debris jammed in movement joints
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
In a school such as Borden Church of England Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
FAQs: Oad Street
Is Newington Industrial Estate, near Oad Street, within your area?
Yes. We cover Oad Street and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Newington Industrial Estate. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Sittingbourne Memorial Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
What do you charge?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll price it properly.
Does the weather affect joint sealing?
Weather matters for any external joint because a damp or frozen joint won’t take a proper bond. Indoor joints can typically carry on regardless.
What if the joint edges are damaged?
Broken arrises have to be put right before resealing. A bead on a broken edge soon lets go.
Are expansion joints and movement joints the same thing?
Movement joint is the broad term for any joint built in to let a structure move. In everyday use the two names are often swapped, and the sealing method is much the same.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, as long as we plan it. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Owners, agents and contractors
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Leave it or put it right?
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. We can price a patch and a full reseal side by side. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Oad Street. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.

Doing it in-house
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Joints that move: notes for Oad Street
Oad Street has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic. Oad Street sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.

Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Kent Science Park (2.2 miles south-east of Oad Street): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time.
