About our expansion joint sealing in Sevington
Joint design counts for as much as the sealant itself. The joint has to be wide enough for the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability, and depth is controlled using closed-cell backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints. For wider joints, the width-to-depth ratio is often around 2:1, as the manufacturer advises. If you have spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks and leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below, we can help, on car park decks and ramps, podiums and floor movement joints and brickwork movement joints alike. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Sevington from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Sevington have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Sevington as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

What sets the cost
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- The product specified
- How accessible the joints are
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- How much there is to seal
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What we need to price the job
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Access details, including height
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Any specification or named product
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with what you know.

Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
Keep wheels, feet and water off new joints until the sealant has cured. How long that takes depends on the product, the temperature and the depth of the joint. Keeping the area coned off until then avoids tyre marks and damage.
When one joint fails, others of the same age are rarely far behind. Inspecting the whole run is worth the effort so you can prioritise and budget. We’ll tell you which movement joints need doing now and which can wait.
Honest limits
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Blockwork control joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
Different surfaces, different methods
Internal floor movement joints
Wheeled traffic chips floor joint edges that aren’t supported. We match the product to the traffic and the movement, and tell you if edges need repairing first.
Podium joints
Podiums take foot traffic, planters and weather. A sealant suited to both traffic and exposure is used.
Sevington: questions and answers
Will you take on work at estates like Ashford Retail Park, close to Sevington?
Yes. We cover Sevington and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Ashford Retail Park. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is a smaller place like Sevington outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
How long will the new sealant last?
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.
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.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Where floor joints take the most wear near Sevington
Sevington has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic. Rainfall across the South East, Sevington included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. 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.
Schools such as Willesborough Junior School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook. Retail sites such as Ashford Retail Park, less than half a mile north-west of Sevington, have car park, service yard and shop floor joints under constant traffic. Sites like William Harvey Hospital (Ashford), 0.9 miles north of Sevington, carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints.

Why it’s worth doing now in Sevington
Leaving a failed movement joint rarely stays a small problem. Water and debris get in, the joint jams and the edges spall and the job grows to repairs as well as sealing. Resealing early keeps the work to sealant. Converted and older buildings near places like Sevington tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.
