How we handle expansion joint sealing in St Mary Hoo
Internal floor joints take trolleys, pallet trucks and forklifts. Without a sound filler, joint edges chip and spall under load so the product has to suit both the traffic and the movement. We’ll tell you if the edges need repairing before sealing, and phased work keeps areas in use. If you are dealing with expansion joints split through the centre of the bead and damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed, we can help, on podiums and floor movement joints, car park decks and ramps and brickwork movement joints alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in St Mary Hoo, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
For a site near St Mary Hoo, measurements and photographs up front mean one trip where possible. Tell us the joint widths if you can, and what drives or walks over them.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

FAQs: St Mary Hoo
Is a hospital such as Medway Maritime Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is a smaller place like St Mary Hoo outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
What will the job cost?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote and we will price it properly.
When can you be on site?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
In the majority of cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
When to call us in St Mary Hoo
Some joints were never sealed with the right product. A stiff or general-purpose sealant across a joint with large movement won’t cope. BS EN ISO 11600 classifies building sealants by movement capability, and specifications often refer to it.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
Campuses like University of Greenwich - Medway (4.9 miles south-west of St Mary Hoo) mix old and new buildings, with movement joints wherever they meet.
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually carry out the work
- How joint depth will be controlled
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?

Advice
General trades versus a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
What happens if it’s left?
Patching the worst lengths of a joint can make sense short term. But if the rest of the run is the same age and product, it’s usually not far behind, and a second visit means paying for access again. Where it helps, we quote both options. Around St Mary Hoo, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
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.
