Questions we are asked in Selling
Does a site in Selling have to shut while its joints are sealed?
Normally not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
What paperwork can you provide for a job in Selling?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we’ll confirm it with the quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
How soon can the area be used again?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit.
Is Selling in your area?
Yes. Selling is in our area, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. To discuss a job, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
How we handle expansion joint sealing in Selling
The seal is what lets a movement joint do its job. When the sealant splits or lets go, the gap fills with dirt and water; the joint jams, its edges take the load and the arrises spall. Dealt with early, it stays a sealant job rather than a concrete or masonry repair. If you’re dealing with weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes and expansion joints split through the centre of the bead, we can help, whatever the surface. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Selling is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
For a site near Selling, measurements and photographs up front mean one trip where possible. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we’ll take it from there.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

How the quote is worked out
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- The size and state of each joint
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Location, for remote and island sites
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
What to include in your enquiry
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Your programme or deadline
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The postcode of the building
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Expansion joint sealing in Selling: the local picture
Selling is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in. Selling is about 47 miles from central London. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift.
In a school such as Selling Church of England Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
Selling is about 3 miles south-east of Faversham, in Kent. Any commercial site in Selling is covered, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. Our Kent coverage takes in 931 places. Sites around London have their own page, about 47 miles away.
Business premises anywhere in ME13 are within our area for movement joints. For a building on Selling Road, Selling Court and Vicarage Lane or nearby, we can quote for movement joints. We also cover Perrywood (1 mile south), Hogben's Hill (1 mile west), Gushmere (1 mile north), Neames Forstal (1 mile east) and Crouch (1 mile north-east). Nearby towns on our patch include Ashford (9 miles south), Canterbury (7 miles east), Sittingbourne (10 miles north-west), Whitstable (7 miles north-east), Faversham (3 miles north-west) and Herne Bay (11 miles north-east).
What’s near Selling
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to The White Lion Public House and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Selling station, roughly 0.8 miles north-east. Nearby you will also find Tower keep castle at Chilham (2.5 miles south-east).
Do you need expansion joint sealing in Selling?
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.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Debris jammed in movement joints
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
In and around Selling, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.
What your quote should include
- The named product and why it was chosen
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- How the existing material will be dealt with
General trades versus a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
From enquiry to sign-off
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Jobs in and around smaller places like Selling are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- We assess the joints on site or from photos, noting widths and how each has failed.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
Ask for a quote
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Advice

Maintenance after handover
For the best life from the joints:
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
Grit is the slow enemy of a joint seal. Grit trodden or driven into the joint works at the surface until it tears, especially on car park decks and warehouse floors. Regular sweeping keeps joint lines clear.
Once debris packs a failed joint, the structure has nowhere to expand. The arrises crack and break away under the load. A sound seal keeps the joint working.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
