Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. If others near Woolpack Corner need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We start with photographs, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- 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.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Arrange parking or a loading space

Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Related advice
Expansion joint sealing in Woolpack Corner
Floor movement joints in warehouses, retail and public buildings carry wheeled traffic. Unsupported edges break up under wheels so the product has to suit both the traffic and the movement. If the arrises are already broken, we will say so before sealing and phasing can keep areas working. The enquiries we see most involve spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks and rain penetration at brick or block movement joints, across precast concrete panel joints, car park decks and ramps and brickwork movement joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Woolpack Corner, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Woolpack Corner have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Joints that move: notes for Woolpack Corner
Woolpack Corner lies roughly 42 miles out from central London. The roads out of London are lined with trade parks and distribution sheds; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External joints still wait for dry conditions, while winter salting gets into any joint left open.
For buildings at a park such as Business Park, which lies south of Woolpack Corner, brick and panel movement joints are easy to forget until one leaks. Schools like John Mayne Church of England Primary School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly. A healthcare site such as Benenden Hospital (1.9 miles south-west of Woolpack Corner) depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.
Woolpack Corner is about 10 miles west of Ashford, in Kent. Anywhere in TN27, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Woolpack Corner is one of 931 places we cover in Kent. Our Brighton page has more on work in that area.

What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How the quote is worked out
To price the job, we consider:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Joint width, depth and condition
- The site’s rules and procedures
A quote for movement joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Sending details for a quote
However big the job, the same details help:
- When you need the work done
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
Keep wheels, feet and water off new joints until the sealant has cured. 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.
An open joint fills with grit, and a joint full of grit can’t close. The edges then take the pressure and start to spall, turning a sealant job into a repair job. Keeping the seal sound avoids all of that.
Different surfaces, different methods
Joints between different materials
Some mixed-material joints suit a hybrid sealant. The choice depends on the substrates and how much the joint moves, and confirm it in the quote.
Cladding panel joints
We confirm what access is in place before pricing. Photos taken near the joints help us price accurately.
Woolpack Corner: questions and answers
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Benenden Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is Woolpack Corner off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.
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.
Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
How much does the work cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with a description of the work.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
