Commercial clients in Waterham
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
Why deal with it now?
Re-sealing with the same product that failed is often a false economy. A higher movement class, or a design change by the engineer, may be needed and we will tell you honestly. For buildings around smaller places like Waterham, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Pricing movement joints depends on quantities, condition and access. Call for a quote.
Why us?
- Fixed quotes based on photographs, drawings or a visit

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Floors, slabs and movement joints in Waterham
Waterham lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Near the sea, external slabs, ramps and decks see salt air and driven rain as well as their usual loads, and edges left open tend to break up faster. At about 48 miles from central London, Waterham is within reach of the capital. The roads out of London are lined with trade parks and distribution sheds.
University campuses such as University of Kent (4.3 miles south-east of Waterham) have car parks, paved walkways and building elevations with movement joints. At places like Lamberhurst Farm Industrial Estate (0.9 miles east of Waterham), joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on. For buildings at a park such as Waterham Business Park, under half a mile east of Waterham, brick and panel movement joints are easy to forget until one leaks.

Advice
Common questions from Waterham clients
Can you work at a site such as Waterham Business Park, by Waterham?
Yes. We cover Waterham and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Waterham Business Park. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is Waterham too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Waterham are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
What guarantee do you give on joint sealing?
Each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship. The guarantee covers how we sealed, not damage caused afterwards.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
What happens if it rains on the day?
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 we plan with the forecast in mind.
What sealant do you use in movement joints?
Movement capability matters most as set out in BS EN ISO 11600. Where two different materials meet, a hybrid sealant can be the better choice.
Surface by surface
Internal floor movement joints
Forklift and pallet-truck wheels break unsupported joint edges. We match the product to the traffic and the movement, and tell you if edges need repairing first.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Brick and block edges need careful preparation. Faces are prepared and primed wherever the sealant maker calls for it, then seal and tool the joint.
