How the quote is worked out

- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Phasing around occupants
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Travel to remote or island sites
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote when you’re ready.
Details that help us quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The postcode of the building
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
How we handle expansion joint sealing in Silver Street
Floor movement joints in warehouses, retail and public buildings carry wheeled traffic. Without a sound filler, joint edges chip and spall under load, so the right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement matters. If the arrises are already broken, we’ll say so before sealing. The enquiries we see most involve water getting into the wall through a failed joint and spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks, across cladding panel joints, blockwork control joints and brickwork movement joints. Whoever orders the work in Silver Street, the brief is typically the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Silver Street have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Surface by surface
Car park decks and ramps
Car park joints are some of the hardest-working joints in any building. We use a sealant made for wheel loads and the expected movement, phased so parts of the car park stay open.
Internal floor movement joints
Wheeled traffic chips floor joint edges that aren’t supported. The right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement protects them.
Keeping the joints sound
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
- Check joints after long freezing spells
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
Add every elevation, deck and floor joint to your inspection round. Early splits and edges starting to lift show up on a routine check. Should you spot a problem, you can ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and send a picture.
Floor joints with failed fillers break up quickly under wheels. Damaged edges make the floor rough and wear wheels faster and the broken length grows with every pass. Keeping the filler or sealant sound protects the floor.
Your questions answered
Is a hospital such as Sittingbourne Memorial Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Silver Street too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
Can a joint be sealed if the edges are broken?
Broken arrises have to be put right before resealing. A bead on a broken edge soon lets go.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, as long as we plan it. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
On site: what to expect
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we are cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. For work around Silver Street, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- 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.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- Closed-cell backing rod is set to depth, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

Office parks like Kent Science Park, 1.4 miles to the east of Silver Street, have decks, ramps and clad elevations whose joints take movement every day.

Why act early in Silver Street
Resealing is normally the answer, not replacing the element. If the material either side is sound, a properly prepared reseal restores the joint. We’ll flag where edges need repair before sealing. Around Silver Street, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.

When it isn’t the sealant
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
