When to call us in Perry
On trafficked joints, wheels and salts do the damage. Tyres and wheels press on the edges and the sealant, while de-icing salts and grit attack the seal. A sealant that isn’t trafficable won’t last there.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- Joints packed with grit and debris
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
Estates like Wingham Industrial Estate, 1.5 miles south-west of Perry, combine warehouse slabs, yards and loading bays, all with joints under wheels.

Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Perry
Brickwork and blockwork walls have vertical movement joints at intervals. 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. We work on brickwork movement joints, car park decks and ramps and cladding panel joints, and what we’re called in for most is expansion joints split through the centre of the bead and new sealant over old, now failing. Whoever orders the work in Perry, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around smaller places such as Perry, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
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.

What sets the cost
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Working within restricted access windows
- The product specified
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Sending details for a quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Your programme or deadline
- What the building is and how it’s used
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
Your questions answered
Is hospital work, at somewhere like St Martins Hospital, something you do?
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.
Can you work at a site such as Wingham Industrial Estate, by Perry?
Yes, sites like Wingham Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Perry. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
What sealant do you use in movement joints?
We choose a sealant with a movement capability that suits the joint as set out in BS EN ISO 11600. Hybrid or MS polymer products suit some mixed-material joints.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
How do I request a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Warehouse floors and decks around Perry
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in. Perry is about 59 miles from central London. The roads out of London are lined with trade parks and distribution sheds, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day.
For a school such as Preston Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays. Sites like St Martins Hospital, 5.6 miles to the west of Perry, carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints.
Perry is about 7 miles east of Canterbury, in Kent. Anywhere in CT3, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Perry is one of 931 places we cover in Kent for movement joints. For work in that direction, see our London page.

Advice

Doing it in-house
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. 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.
Commercial clients in Perry
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Maintenance after handover
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
Grit is the slow enemy of a joint seal. Grit trodden or driven into the joint works at the surface until it tears. A routine sweep is the simplest protection.
Floor joints with failed fillers break up quickly under wheels. Broken arrises jolt trucks, loads and drivers, and the damage spreads along the joint. Sealing early protects the edges.
