Is Payden Street too far out for you?

Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit before quoting.

You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.

Expansion joint sealing in Payden Street, done properly
Width, depth and product all have to work together. The joint has to be wide enough for the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability, and depth is controlled using closed-cell backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints. For wider joints, the width-to-depth ratio is often around 2:1, as the manufacturer advises. We work on cladding panel joints, precast concrete panel joints and blockwork control joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are arrises breaking up along floor joints and torn sealant in brick or block movement joints. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Payden Street from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Jobs around smaller places like Payden Street are planned so the whole job is done in one visit, with the right materials on hand. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we will take it from there.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

What else we do in Payden Street
Should maintenance staff do it?
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. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself normally takes anything from part of a day to a couple of weeks, depending on joint lengths, widths and access, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Smaller jobs around Payden Street can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take.
- Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
- 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
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Expansion joint sealing around Payden Street: points for this area
Payden Street is about 40 miles from central London. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.
University campuses such as Canterbury Christ Church University (to the west of Payden Street) have car parks, paved walkways and building elevations with movement joints.
Payden Street is about 6 miles south of Sittingbourne, in Kent. Across the ME17 postcode area, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed.

What affects the price in Payden Street

- Location, for remote and island sites
- Phasing around occupants
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We’ll tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Cladding panel joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Brickwork movement joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
Common problems we fix in Payden 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.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
For a school such as The Lenham School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.
