Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. Jobs in and around smaller places like Sinkhurst Green are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- 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.
- 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.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
What we need from you
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

About our expansion joint sealing in Sinkhurst Green
Joint design counts for as much as the sealant itself. Joint width must suit the movement and the movement class of the sealant. For wider joints, many sealant makers recommend a width-to-depth ratio, often around 2:1 and the bead bonds to the sides, never the back. If you have hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades and damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Sinkhurst Green start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
For a site near Sinkhurst Green, 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.

Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding panel joints
Cladding panels move more than masonry as they heat and cool. The joints need a low-modulus sealant with enough movement capability in a colour confirmed for that product.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast and concrete panel joints move daily. We use a sealant classed for the movement, laid over backing to depth.
Questions we are asked in Sinkhurst Green
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Benenden Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is Sinkhurst Green too far out for you?
Not at all. Sinkhurst Green is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
Do you reseal car park expansion joints?
Yes. Tyre loads, grit and de-icing salts make these some of the hardest joints to keep sealed.
What if the joint edges are damaged?
A bond is only as strong as the material behind it, so broken or crumbling edges have to be repaired first. Where it’s visible beforehand, we will say so when we quote.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
How long does movement joint sealing take?
Allow a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases. We confirm the timescale with the quote.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Access and working height
- The size and state of each joint
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Which sealant the job calls for
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
What we need to price the job
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Specification clauses that apply
- Where the site is, with the postcode
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Check joints after long freezing spells
In warehouses, forklift and pallet-truck routes take the most wear. Avoid standing heavy loads or racking legs on the joints, and report any chipped edges early.
When one joint fails, others of the same age are rarely far behind. It pays to check every joint, not just the obvious one so you can prioritise and budget. We’ll tell you which movement joints need doing now and which can wait.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Sinkhurst Green
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sinkhurst Green can form part of a wider programme across Kent.
Expansion joint sealing in Sinkhurst Green: the local picture
Sinkhurst Green lies roughly 38 miles out from central London. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London. Rainfall across the South East, Sinkhurst Green included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, while winter salting gets into any joint left open.
In a school such as Frittenden Church of England Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. If you manage units on an estate such as Barradale Farm Industrial Estate, which lies north-east of Sinkhurst Green, the floor joints under forklifts and pallet trucks and the slab joints in the yard are the ones to watch. Hospital campuses such as Benenden Hospital, 4.6 miles to the south of Sinkhurst Green, grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.
