Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
When it isn’t the sealant
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer.

How we handle expansion joint sealing in Wichling
We cover the full range of movement joints: vertical joints in brick and block facades, joints between precast or cladding panels, concrete slab and deck joints, ramps, podiums and internal floors. The product depends on the movement, the weather and anything that runs over it, and we will confirm the choice in the quote. Most enquiries involve leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below and previous reseals laid over old sealant, on podiums and floor movement joints, cladding panel joints and car park decks and ramps. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Wichling, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In and around smaller places like Wichling, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Leave it or put it right?
Some quotes just add sealant over the old bead. A bead over the old seal can’t bond or flex and soon lets go. We cut out the old seal and prepare the faces every time. For buildings around smaller places like Wichling, 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.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.

What the job involves on each surface
Concrete and precast panel joints
Joints between precast panels open and close with temperature and loading. We use a sealant classed for the movement, laid over backing to depth.
Car park decks and ramps
Deck and ramp joints take tyre loads, grit and de-icing salts. A trafficable sealant suited to the movement goes in, phased so parts of the car park stay open.
Warehouse floors and decks around Wichling
Wichling sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in. Central London is about 40 miles from Wichling. 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.
In and around Wichling, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes. Campuses like Canterbury Christ Church University (3.1 miles west of Wichling) mix old and new buildings, with movement joints wherever they meet.

What else we do in Wichling
Diagnose, treat, sign off
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself typically taking a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases. For a building around Wichling, 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

For managing agents and facilities managers
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Your questions answered
Does a site in Wichling have to shut while its joints are sealed?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we’ll plan from there.
Is Wichling too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Wichling is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you use silicone or polyurethane in movement joints?
It depends on the movement, exposure and traffic. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many facade joints, while polyurethane is common in trafficked floor and deck joints, and the specification has the final say.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
How long will the joint resealing take?
The metres of joint, the access and the amount of removal decide it. Typically it 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.
What guarantee do you give on joint sealing?
The 12-month guarantee applies to the workmanship. If a joint we sealed fails inside the 12 months, let us know.
