Floors, slabs and movement joints in Ardleigh Green
London car parks, loading bays and podium decks often can’t close for long, so we seal in sections and hand areas back as each cures.
Places like Rom Valley Retail Park (1.7 miles south-west of Ardleigh Green) put trolleys over floor joints inside and cars over slab joints outside. For an estate such as Victoria Hospital, which lies west of Ardleigh Green, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.

Floor and movement joints in London take heavy use: car park decks, loading bays, shopping centre malls and podiums over occupied space. A failed joint lets water and debris in, and the edges soon spall.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think.

Owners, agents and contractors
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Ardleigh Green. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.

What the job involves on each surface
Brickwork and blockwork joints
A brick movement joint full of old mortar or debris can’t close. We clear the joint fully before sealing.
Internal floor movement joints
Forklift and pallet-truck wheels break unsupported joint edges. The right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement protects them flagging broken arrises before sealing.

Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Ardleigh Green
Weathering wears down sealant on exposed elevations and decks. UV hardens the surface, and the sealant loses its ability to stretch.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
With Ardleigh Green inside the ULEZ and kerb space scarce, we sort access and loading before the first day on site.

- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.

What will the job cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with a description of the work.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. 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. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.

How a job runs
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Planning a London job such as one in Ardleigh Green starts with access. Give us the hours we can be on site and we will schedule to suit.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- A fixed quote follows, naming the sealant and its movement class.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
