Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Wishanger Common
Long runs of brick or block have movement joints built in, and they’re easy to miss until the sealant fails. Once the seal fails, rain reaches the cavity and the joint can no longer close. The old seal comes out, backing goes in and a sealant with the right movement class is applied, primed where the manufacturer specifies. Most enquiries involve joints packed with grit and debris and spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks, across brickwork movement joints, blockwork control joints and car park decks and ramps. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Wishanger Common, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In and around smaller places like Wishanger Common, 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.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will arrange a return visit.

Advice
Warehouse floors and decks around Wishanger Common
Rainfall across the South East, Wishanger Common included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, while winter salting gets into any joint left open. Wishanger Common is about 39 miles from central London. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift.
A campus such as University for the Creative Arts, 4.9 miles north of Wishanger Common, has long runs of movement joint in its buildings, decks and paving.

FAQs: Wishanger Common
Will our site in Wishanger Common have to close for joint sealing?
In the majority of cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Chase Community Hospital, something you do?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Do you reseal car park expansion joints?
Yes, we do. These joints take wheels, salt and water, so product choice matters.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
How much does the work cost?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. Send photos or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
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.
Why deal with it now?
Leaving a failed movement joint rarely stays a small problem. Grit and water fill the gap and the material either side breaks up. Acting at the first split keeps the cost down. For buildings around smaller places like Wishanger Common, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

What we are called out for in Wishanger Common
The edges of the material can fail rather than the sealant. If the edge of the joint is friable, the bond fails with it.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- New sealant over old, now failing
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
A healthcare site such as Chase Community Hospital, 3.6 miles south-west of Wishanger Common, depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.
What your quote should include
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Proof of insurance
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
What sets the cost
What shapes the price:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation

When it isn’t the sealant
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
