On site: what to expect
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 few hours to several weeks, depending on how many metres of joint there are and how much old sealant or filler needs removing. Smaller jobs around Wingham can be grouped with others nearby. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- 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.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready

About our expansion joint sealing in Wingham
Long runs of brick or block have movement joints built in, and they’re easy to miss until the sealant fails. Failed sealant here lets rain into the wall and can leave the joint full of debris. The old seal comes out, backing goes in and a sealant with the right movement class is applied with primer where the maker calls for it. We work on precast concrete panel joints, brickwork movement joints and podiums and floor movement joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are arrises breaking up along floor joints and car park joints leaking onto vehicles below. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Wingham tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around smaller places such as Wingham, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Wingham: questions and answers
Is a hospital such as St Martins Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Wingham too far out for you?
Not at all. Wingham is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can a joint be sealed if the edges are broken?
Sealant needs sound faces to bond to, so broken or crumbling edges have to be repaired first. Where it’s visible beforehand, we’ll say so when we quote.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Can you work on car park ramps and decks?
Yes. Let us know the opening hours and which levels or bays have to stay available.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?

When to call us in Wingham
Some joints were never sealed with the right product. Products not classed for the movement fail early. BS EN ISO 11600 classifies building sealants by movement capability.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
- New sealant over old, now failing
In a school such as Wingham Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.

Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Wingham
Wingham is about 59 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. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.
For an estate such as St Martins Hospital, 4.7 miles to the west of Wingham, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time. For an occupier at a site such as Wingham Industrial Estate, less than half a mile to the south-east of Wingham, the joints at loading doors and dock levellers typically see the hardest wear.

Why it’s worth doing now in Wingham
Leaving a failed movement joint rarely stays a small problem. Grit and water fill the gap and the material either side breaks up. Resealing early keeps the work to sealant. For buildings around smaller places like Wingham, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Take a look at what affects the cost and our accreditations and insurance.
General trades versus a specialist
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
Grit is the slow enemy of a joint seal. Grit trodden or driven into the joint works at the surface until it tears. Regular sweeping keeps joint lines clear.
External wall joints that fail let rain into the masonry and cavity. The first sign is often a damp patch indoors by which time the joint has been open for a while. Catching it early keeps the water outside.
