On site: what to expect
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself normally taking a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases. Smaller jobs around Stockland Green can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take, and flag anything that needs an engineer.
- Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site

Common problems we fix in Stockland Green
Three-sided adhesion is a common cause of early failure. Bonded on three faces, it can’t stretch evenly when the joint opens.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- New sealant over old, now failing
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
University campuses such as Canterbury Christ Church University - Salomons (to the south-east of Stockland Green) have car parks, paved walkways and building elevations with movement joints.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Who will actually carry out the work
- The named product and why it was chosen
- What site paperwork they can supply
Looking after the joints
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
Keep wheels, feet and water off new joints until the sealant has cured. The time varies with product, conditions and joint depth and we will tell you when each bay or area can reopen. Barriers left in place until then protect the finish.
A failed deck joint lets water straight through to the level below. Salty water dripping through stains soffits and lands on parked vehicles, which is bad news for the concrete and the people parking below. Sealing the joint promptly stops it at source.

Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Stockland Green
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, while winter salting gets into any joint left open. Stockland Green lies roughly 28 miles out from central London. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day.

Hospitals like Tonbridge Cottage Hospital (2.5 miles north-east of Stockland Green) have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock.

Why act early in Stockland Green
Resealing is normally the answer, not replacing the element. If the material either side is sound, a properly prepared reseal restores the joint. We will flag where edges need repair before sealing. Converted and older buildings near places like Stockland Green tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Your questions answered
Will you take on work at estates like Speldhurst Business Park, close to Stockland Green?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Stockland Green, Speldhurst Business Park among them, are all within reach. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Tonbridge Cottage Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Normally, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Give us your site hours and any 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.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, 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.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Does the weather affect joint sealing?
The joint has to be dry, and the air and surface temperature inside the product’s limits. Cold, damp or frosty mornings can stop work outside so external dates keep some flexibility.

General trades versus a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
