How we handle expansion joint sealing in Wissenden
Joints in car park decks and ramps are among the hardest-working in any building. Tyres load the edges, and de-icing salts and water work into any gap, so failed seals soon lead to leaks onto the level below and broken edges. We reseal deck and ramp joints with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement. We work on blockwork control joints, car park decks and ramps and brickwork movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are expansion joints filled with dirt and stones and water dripping through deck or ramp joints. Whoever orders the work in Wissenden, the brief is usually the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Around smaller places such as Wissenden, 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.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Why it’s worth doing now in Wissenden
Spot repairs can be useful on a tight budget. But if the rest of the run is the same age and product, it’s usually not far behind. We can price a patch and a full reseal side by side. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Wissenden. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Why us?
- Health and safety: CHAS accredited
- Standard and matched colours in many product ranges
- Failed material removed, not covered up
- Work carried out by CSCS-carded applicators

Questions about Wissenden
Can you work on a hospital site such as Benenden Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is Wissenden too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Wissenden are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
How long will the joint resealing take?
Allow a short visit for a handful of joints, or several days or more for a car park deck or long runs of facade joints. Timings are set out in the quote, including any phasing.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
Yes, as long as we plan it. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
What if the joint edges are damaged?
Broken arrises have to be put right before resealing, and we’ll point out where that’s the case. A bead on a broken edge soon lets go.
What we are called out for in Wissenden
On trafficked joints, wheels and salts do the damage. Tyres and wheels press on the edges and the sealant, while grit and salts work into any gap. The product has to be suited to the traffic.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below
- Joints packed with grit and debris
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
Schools like Bethersden Primary School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.
What your quote should include
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Proof of insurance
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS

What the job involves on each surface
Joints between different materials
Hybrid or MS polymer sealants bond to many substrates. The choice depends on the substrates and how much the joint moves, and confirm it in the quote.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast and concrete panel joints move daily. The sealant needs the right movement capability and a controlled depth.
Owners, agents and contractors
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Wissenden can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
On site: what to expect
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For a building around Wissenden, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability and tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Point out any areas we must not close

When it isn’t the sealant
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We will tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer.
