How we handle expansion joint sealing in Shover's Green
Width, depth and product all have to work together. 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 debris jammed in movement joints and new sealant over old, now failing, we can put it right, on car park decks and ramps, brickwork movement joints and podiums and floor movement joints alike. For commercial sealant work in Shover's Green, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Shover's Green have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.

What we can’t put right
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Quoting for work in Shover's Green
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Which sealant the job calls for
- The site’s rules and procedures
- How much existing material needs removing
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What we need to price the job
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Access details, including height
- Any specification or named product
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us with what you know.
Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
In warehouses, forklift and pallet-truck routes take the most wear. Avoid standing heavy loads or racking legs on the joints and flag chipped arrises before they spread.
When one joint fails, others of the same age are rarely far behind. Inspecting the whole run is worth the effort. We will tell you which movement joints need doing now and which can wait.
FAQs: Shover's Green
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Ticehurst House Hospital, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is Shover's Green too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Shover's Green are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
How long will the joint resealing take?
The metres of joint, the access and the amount of removal decide it. As a guide, it usually takes a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases.
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.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
Different surfaces, different methods
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, with primer where specified.
Car park decks and ramps
Deck and ramp joints take tyre loads, grit and de-icing salts. We use a sealant made for wheel loads and the expected movement.
From enquiry to sign-off
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. If others near Shover's Green need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- 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.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
