Expansion joint sealing in Stick Hill, done properly
Internal floor joints take trolleys, pallet trucks and forklifts. 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. We work on car park decks and ramps, podiums and floor movement joints and blockwork control joints, and what we are called in for most is chipped joint edges on forklift routes and new sealant over old, now failing. Whoever orders the work in Stick Hill, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Stick Hill have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

What we can’t put right
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think.

What we are called out for in Stick Hill
Weathering wears down sealant on exposed elevations and decks. UV hardens the surface, and the sealant loses its ability to stretch, so it can’t follow the movement any more.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
Around Stick Hill, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves.

What the job involves on each surface
Cladding panel joints
Cladding panels move more than masonry as they heat and cool. A sealant with the right movement class is chosen.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast panels often have surface residues that sealant won’t bond to. Proper cleaning and primer where specified give a sound bond.
Questions about Stick Hill
Does a site in Stick Hill have to shut while its joints are sealed?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Is a hospital such as Edenbridge and District War Memorial Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit before quoting.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
Do you cover Stick Hill?
Yes. We cover Stick Hill, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. To discuss a job, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
From enquiry to 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. For a building around Stick Hill, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.

- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
