Questions we’re asked in Woolmer Hill
Is a smaller place like Woolmer Hill outside your area?
No. Places such as Woolmer Hill are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you work at a site such as Kings Road Industrial Estate, by Woolmer Hill?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Woolmer Hill, Kings Road Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
How long does movement joint sealing take?
It typically 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, with phasing where areas must stay open. We will confirm when each area can be used again.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Can you send site paperwork?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Why do our movement joints keep failing?
Usually the joint is moving more than the sealant can take. That’s why we check width, depth and movement class before quoting so the same failure isn’t repeated.
Expansion joint sealing in Woolmer Hill, done properly
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, primed where the manufacturer specifies. We work on podiums and floor movement joints, blockwork control joints and cladding panel joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are movement joints with split or torn sealant and car park joints leaking onto vehicles below. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Woolmer Hill, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Woolmer Hill have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think.

Where floor joints take the most wear near Woolmer Hill
Woolmer Hill sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in. The 3 miles around Woolmer Hill take in two named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest.
A healthcare site such as Holy Cross Hospital, 0.9 miles to the north-east of Woolmer Hill, depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day. Schools such as Camelsdale Primary School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.

How the quote is worked out
To price the job, we consider:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The total length or number of joints
- Working within restricted access windows
- Access and working height
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
What we need to price the job
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Access details, including height
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Specification clauses that apply
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we will put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Why it’s worth doing now in Woolmer Hill
On a car park, resealing joints in phases keeps the deck open. Work can be planned so parts of the deck stay open, compared with a full closure. We agree phasing with you before work starts. Halls, stores and units around places like Woolmer Hill may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Why us?
- Work to your specification and the manufacturer’s guidance
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible
- CHAS accredited

From enquiry to sign-off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Jobs in and around smaller places like Woolmer Hill are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- 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 flag anything that needs an engineer.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- 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
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Advice
Common problems we fix in Woolmer Hill
With no backing rod or bond-breaker in place, sealant grips the base of the joint too. Bonded on three faces, it can’t stretch evenly when the joint opens so backing is set before sealing.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Debris jammed in movement joints
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
If you manage units on an estate such as Kings Road Industrial Estate, 1 mile to the north-east of Woolmer Hill, the floor joints under forklifts and pallet trucks and the slab joints in the yard are the ones to watch.
