Common questions from Potters Corner clients
Is Eurogate Business Park, near Potters Corner, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Potters Corner, Eurogate Business Park among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Would you work within a site like William Harvey Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Is Potters Corner in your area?
Yes. Potters Corner is in our area and the rest of Kent, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. For a quote, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Which product is best for expansion joints?
The specification comes first, then the joint’s movement and exposure. The quote states the sealant and its movement class, so you know what’s going in.

Different surfaces, different methods
Car park decks and ramps
Water coming through deck joints is the usual first sign. We strip the old seal, prepare the edges and seal again flagging broken edges along the way.
Internal floor movement joints
Floor joints include saw-cut joints and construction joints. Trafficked floor joints often get a semi-rigid filler.
Cost factors for movement joints
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- How much there is to seal
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- The product specified
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Sending details for a quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Specification clauses that apply
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

How a job runs
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Rural sites near Potters Corner may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
Getting a fixed quote

What we are called out for in Potters Corner
Repeated failure often traces back to the wrong product. Products not classed for the movement fail early. BS EN ISO 11600 classifies building sealants by movement capability.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Joints packed with grit and debris
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
At places like Warren Retail Park (1.1 miles south-east of Potters Corner), joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.
Before you book anyone
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
Commercial clients in Potters Corner
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.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
When it isn’t the sealant
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
