Why deal with it now?
Resealing is typically the answer, not replacing the element. Where the edges are sound, cutting out and resealing is enough. If the edges have broken up, we’ll tell you they need repairing first. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Yalding. Send photos of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

Our process
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work typically takes anything from part of a day to a couple of weeks, depending on joint lengths, widths and access, and we clear our waste as we work. Jobs in and around smaller places like Yalding are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We start with photographs, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take 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.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Move anything stored against the joints
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Related advice
Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
Movement joints belong on the planned maintenance inspection list. A periodic look picks up tears and lifting before water gets in and long before edges start to break. If anything looks wrong, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with photos.
Unsupported floor joint edges spall under forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Broken arrises jolt trucks, loads and drivers, and the damage spreads along the joint. Keeping the filler or sealant sound protects the floor.
Questions we’re asked in Yalding
Is Yalding too far out for you?
Not at all. Yalding is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Does your area include sites such as Woodfalls Industrial Estate, near Yalding?
Yes. We cover Yalding and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Woodfalls Industrial Estate. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Which product is best for expansion joints?
Whatever suits the joint and the specification. We name the proposed product in the quote, so you know what’s going in.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
What happens if it rains on the day?
Outside work depends on conditions. Indoor joints can usually carry on regardless.
Do the joint edges need to be sound before sealing?
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.

Do you need expansion joint sealing in Yalding?
The edges of the material can fail rather than the sealant. If the edge of the joint is friable, the bond fails with it so edge repair has to come before resealing.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Forstal Business Park (2.6 miles south-west of Yalding): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time.

Surface by surface
Internal floor movement joints
Floor joints include saw-cut joints and construction joints. Trafficked floor joints often get a semi-rigid filler.
Car park decks and ramps
Deck and ramp joints take tyre loads, grit and de-icing salts. A trafficable sealant suited to the movement goes in.
