FAQs: Stelling Minnis
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Kent and Canterbury Hospital, something you do?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is a smaller place like Stelling Minnis outside your area?
Not at all. Stelling Minnis is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do the joint edges need to be sound before sealing?
Broken arrises have to be put right before resealing and we’ll flag every length affected. A bead on a broken edge soon lets go.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
How long will the joint resealing take?
The metres of joint, the access and the amount of removal decide it. As a guide, it 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.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Is colour matching possible?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Expansion joint sealing in Stelling Minnis, done properly
Joints in car park decks and ramps are among the hardest-working in any building. Wheel loads, grit and de-icing salts attack the seal and the concrete either side, so failed seals soon lead to leaks onto the level below and broken edges. A sealant suited to traffic and the expected movement goes in, phasing bays so the car park can stay in use. We work on precast concrete panel joints, podiums and floor movement joints and blockwork control joints, and what we’re called in for most is weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes and rain penetration at brick or block movement joints. Whoever orders the work in Stelling Minnis, the brief is normally 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 Stelling Minnis have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

What else we do in Stelling Minnis
What happens if it’s left?
Doing joint resealing alongside other planned works can save on access. Leaking joints need sealing now. Urgent joints now, the rest later, is often the sensible plan. Converted and older buildings near places like Stelling Minnis tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
Why appoint us
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting

From enquiry to sign-off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. For a building around Stelling Minnis, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- We start with photos, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability and tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
