Warehouse floors and decks around Picket Piece
Rainfall across the South East, Picket Piece included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints. At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Picket Piece. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic.
Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Churchill Retail Park (1.6 miles west of Picket Piece): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time. In a school such as Pilgrims' Cross CofE Aided Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. Office parks like Walworth Business Park, 0.8 miles to the south-west of Picket Piece, have decks, ramps and clad elevations whose joints take movement every day.

Doing it in-house
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
How a job runs
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. For a site in Picket Piece, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Clear photographs and measurements help us bring the right products.
- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- A fixed quote follows, naming the sealant and its movement class.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast and concrete panel joints move daily. The sealant needs the right movement capability and a controlled depth.
Internal floor movement joints
Wheeled traffic chips floor joint edges that aren’t supported. The right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement protects them.
Why it’s worth doing now in Picket Piece
Patching the worst lengths of a joint can make sense short term. The remaining sealant is often close to failing too. We can price a patch and a full reseal side by side. In a smaller place such as Picket Piece, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so we’d suggest renewing all the joints that are going, not just the worst.
Pricing movement joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Call for a quote.

Your questions answered
Can you work at a site such as Walworth Business Park, by Picket Piece?
Yes. We cover Picket Piece and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Walworth Business Park. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Andover Hospital (Grounds), something you do?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
What guarantee do you give on joint sealing?
Each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship. Damage from later works or traffic loads outside the joint’s design isn’t a workmanship fault.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
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 way they’re sealed is similar.
