Site staff or a sealant specialist?
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
FAQs: Speldhurst
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Tunbridge Wells Nuffield Hospital, something you do?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can you work at a site such as Speldhurst Business Park, by Speldhurst?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Speldhurst, Speldhurst Business Park among them, are all within reach. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
What’s the difference between an expansion joint and a movement joint?
The general name is movement joint, and expansion joint is one common type. In everyday use the two names are often swapped and the way they’re sealed is similar.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Can a joint be sealed if the edges are broken?
The edges have to be sound. If they’re damaged, we’ll say so before any sealing, so the new seal has something to grip.

From enquiry to sign-off
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work typically takes a short visit for a handful of joints, or several days or more for a car park deck or long runs of facade joints, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Jobs in and around smaller places like Speldhurst are usually planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- 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.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

How the job changes by surface
Cladding panel joints
Access to cladding joints is agreed before the price is fixed. Photos taken near the joints help us price accurately, or we visit if they don’t show enough.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Mortar snots and debris in the joint stop it working. We clear the joint fully before sealing.
