From enquiry to sign-off
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. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- 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.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Point out any areas we must not close

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.

How we handle expansion joint sealing in Barnes
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, phasing bays so the car park can stay in use. The enquiries we see most involve spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks and damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed, on cladding panel joints, precast concrete panel joints and blockwork control joints. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Barnes? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Most London buildings can’t shut a car park, loading bay or warehouse floor for long. We work through joints a section at a time, closing small areas in turn.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application.

More services for Barnes
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
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.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Maintenance after handover
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Check joints after long freezing spells
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Note which joints were done, when, and with what
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. Record which product went into which joints in the building file.
A failed deck joint lets water straight through to the level below. That water often carries de-icing salts with it. Sealing the joint promptly stops it at source.
Traffic, movement and joints around Barnes
In London, decks, bays and service yards typically have to keep running, so joints are sealed in sections with each area handed back once cured.

Schools such as St Osmund's Catholic Primary School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook. Retail parks like Kew Retail Park, 1.5 miles west of Barnes, have long runs of car park and yard joints taking daily traffic.

Why it’s worth doing now in Barnes
Closing a car park for a reseal is rarely an option. Phased work by bay or zone lets the rest stay in use, compared with a full closure. We agree phasing with you before work starts. In Barnes, each extra visit means more notices, permits and disruption, so cutting the old sealant out fully and doing it right once is the better route.
Pricing movement joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Call for a quote.

What we’re called out for in Barnes
Most movement joint failures come down to the joint stretching further than the sealant can take. Cohesive failure, a split through the centre, usually means the joint or product wasn’t right for the movement. Resealing like for like often fails the same way, so we check width and movement before quoting.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Berghem Mews Business Village (2.1 miles north-east of Barnes): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time.
