Your questions answered
Will you take on work at estates like Bowes Industrial Centre, close to Round Street?
Yes. Our area takes in Round Street and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Bowes Industrial Centre included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is Round Street too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Can you quote from photos?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, and bigger or more complex jobs typically get a visit.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Normally, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Expansion joint sealing in Round Street
Our movement joint work takes in walls, panels, decks and floors: vertical joints in brick and block facades, joints between precast or cladding panels, concrete slab and deck joints, ramps, podiums and internal floors. Every one calls for a sealant picked for its movement, exposure and traffic and we name it in the quote. The enquiries we see most involve rain penetration at brick or block movement joints and expansion joints filled with dirt and stones, across precast concrete panel joints, car park decks and ramps and podiums and floor movement joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Round Street it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Jobs around smaller places like Round Street are planned so the whole job is done in one visit. Tell us the joint widths if you can, and what drives or walks over them.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Warehouse floors and decks around Round Street
At about 22 miles from central London, Round Street is within reach of the capital. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day. Rainfall across the South East, Round Street 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 where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.
Estates like Bowes Industrial Centre (2.4 miles south-west of Round Street) combine warehouse slabs, yards and loading bays, all with joints under wheels. A healthcare site such as Gravesham Community Hospital (to the north of Round Street) depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day. Schools such as Cobham Primary School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.
Round Street is about 3 miles south of Gravesend, in Kent. Across the DA13 postcode area, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. 931 places across Kent fall within our area, including Round Street.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, and the work typically takes a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases. Jobs in and around smaller places like Round Street are normally planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry, 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.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

After the work
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Check joints after long freezing spells
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
Snow ploughs and scrapers catch on joint lines. Raising blades over joints where possible protects the seal.
Joints sealed at the same time generally fail around the same time. Inspecting the whole run is worth the effort, so the work can be planned rather than rushed. We will tell you which movement joints need doing now and which can wait.
What the job involves on each surface
Joints between different materials
Junctions between brick and render, or concrete and cladding, move independently. The product must bond to both substrates and cope with the movement.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Masonry faces are often porous, dusty or crumbly. We clean them back to sound material and prime where the manufacturer specifies.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Round Street
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Working within restricted access windows
- Joint width, depth and condition
- The product specified
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
What we need to price the job
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Any specification or named product
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Why it’s worth doing now in Round Street
Patching the worst lengths of a joint can make sense short term. The remaining sealant is often close to failing too, and a second visit means paying for access again. We can price a patch and a full reseal side by side. Around Round Street, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
