Expansion joint sealing in Becontree
For movement joints in Becontree, photos and approximate lengths are the best start. We will come and look where photos don’t show enough before issuing a fixed quote. To discuss the joints first, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. We work on brickwork movement joints, car park decks and ramps and cladding panel joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are movement joints with split or torn sealant and joints where the bead has lost adhesion. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Becontree, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Distribution and trade units on London’s edges, and deck car parks across the city, hold most of its floor and slab joints. In Becontree, as everywhere in London, access, loading and the ULEZ all come into the plan.

Common problems we fix in Becontree
Car park decks and floors face loads that walls never see. Wheel loads stress the sealant and the arrises, while de-icing salts and grit attack the seal. A sealant that isn’t trafficable won’t last there.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
Another example is Merrielands Retail Park, 1.2 miles to the south of Becontree, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers.

Joints that move: notes for Becontree
The 3 miles around Becontree take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints. Few London car parks or loading bays can be taken out of use for more than a short spell, which is why we work a few bays at a time.
For a school such as St Joseph's Catholic Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays. A healthcare site such as Grays Court Community Hospital, 0.9 miles south-east of Becontree, depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.

Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Access and working height

- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.

Advice
Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
Snow ploughs and scrapers catch on joint lines. Raising blades over joints where possible protects the seal and a look at the joints after winter catches any damage.
Unsupported floor joint edges spall under forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Damaged edges make the floor rough and wear wheels faster and the broken length grows with every pass. Sealing early protects the edges.

Honest limits
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer.
