Looking after the joints
After handover, these steps help:
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
- Check joints after long freezing spells
Keep wheels, feet and water off new joints until the sealant has cured. How long that takes depends on the product, the temperature and the depth of the joint and we’ll 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. That water often carries de-icing salts with it. Sealing the joint promptly stops it at source.
Expansion joint sealing in Well Street
Few joints take as much punishment as those in a car park. 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. If you’re dealing with sealant pulling off the joint face and car park joints leaking onto vehicles below, we can help. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Well Street tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
For a site near Well Street, measurements and photos up front mean one trip where possible. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we will take it from there.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

FAQs: Well Street
Is a smaller place like Well Street outside your area?
Not at all. Well Street is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will you take on work at estates like Kings Hill Business Park, close to Well Street?
Yes. We cover Well Street and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Kings Hill Business Park. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
What timescale should we allow for resealing expansion joints?
It normally takes a few hours to several weeks, depending on how many metres of joint there are and how much old sealant or filler needs removing. We confirm the timescale with the quote, including any phasing.
Can you fit around our working hours?
We’re in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
Why do our movement joints keep failing?
Adhesion failure, cohesive failure, edge breakdown and UV ageing account for most cases. Working out the cause comes first.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Our process
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. For a building around Well Street, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- A fixed quote follows, naming the sealant and its movement class.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- Where the maker calls for primer, it’s applied first, then the bead goes in and is tooled to a concave finish.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

What else we do in Well Street
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Why it’s worth doing now in Well Street
Sealing over a failed movement joint is a common shortcut. A bead laid on top of the failed one neither grips nor flexes properly, so it fails quickly. Full removal and preparation is in every quote. Halls, stores and units around places like Well Street may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

Podium joints
On podiums, the joint can belong to a larger waterproofing detail. Where the specification calls for sealant, we reseal, and tell you if the problem looks like the waterproofing below.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
A brick movement joint full of old mortar or debris can’t close. We clear the joint fully before sealing, and tell you if the joint looks too narrow for the movement.
Expansion joint sealing around Well Street: how the place shapes the job
Well Street is about 27 miles from central London. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day. Rainfall across the South East, Well Street included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.
In a school such as The Malling School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. At places like South Aylesford Retail Park (1.9 miles east of Well Street), joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on. Large sites such as Maidstone Hospital (to the east of Well Street) have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels.
