Questions we’re asked in Wingham Green
Would you work within a site like St Martins Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is Wingham Green off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
When is resealing likely to be due?
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 checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Should maintenance staff do it?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from 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 Wingham Green
Closing a car park for a reseal is rarely an option. Work can be planned so parts of the deck stay open without shutting the whole car park. Tell us what has to stay open and we will plan around it. Halls, stores and units around places like Wingham Green may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
Why us?
- Colour options checked against the specified product
- CSCS-carded applicators
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet
- Fixed quotes based on photos, drawings or a visit

Different surfaces, different methods
Car park decks and ramps
Deck and ramp joints take tyre loads, grit and de-icing salts. We use a sealant made for wheel loads and the expected movement with bays done in phases so the car park keeps running.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Concrete edges can be weak or carry release agents that stop adhesion. Proper cleaning and primer where specified give a sound bond and check the edges for soundness as we go.
Keeping the joints sound
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
Fresh joint sealant needs its full cure time before it takes traffic or water. How long that takes depends on the product, the temperature and the depth of the joint, and we confirm it for each area before we leave. Keeping the area coned off until then avoids tyre marks and damage.
On a multi-storey car park, a failed joint typically shows up as a leak onto the deck underneath. That water often carries de-icing salts with it, which is bad news for the concrete and the people parking below. Resealing early limits the damage.
When something else is needed
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Expansion joint sealing around Wingham Green: how the place shapes the job
Wingham Green lies roughly 58 miles out from central London. The roads out of London are lined with trade parks and distribution sheds, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day. Wingham Green is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.
Sites like St Martins Hospital (to the west of Wingham Green) carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints. Schools like Wingham Primary School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly. University campuses such as Canterbury Christ Church University, 4.7 miles to the west of Wingham Green, have car parks, paved walkways and building elevations with movement joints.

On site: what to expect
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next.

- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
