Need expansion joint sealing in Berrylands?
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
How we handle expansion joint sealing in Berrylands
For movement joints in Berrylands, photos and approximate lengths are the best start. We will come and look where photographs don’t show enough, then send a fixed quote that names the sealant. You can also call 01277 525 020 or email the details over to talk the joints through. Most enquiries involve hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades and damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed, on brickwork movement joints, car park decks and ramps and precast concrete panel joints. Whoever orders the work in Berrylands, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Floor and movement joints in London take heavy use: car park decks, loading bays, shopping centre malls and podiums over occupied space. When a joint fails, grit and water get in and the arrises start to break up, so it pays to act early.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Greater London. If an installation problem shows up, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll arrange a return visit.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Berrylands can form part of a wider programme across Greater London.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Planning a London job such as one in Berrylands starts with access. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
- We start with photos, 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.
What we need from you
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Common problems we fix in Berrylands
The edges of the material can fail rather than the sealant. Weak or crumbling concrete, brick or render edges give the sealant nothing sound to grip so edge repair has to come before resealing.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
- Debris jammed in movement joints
- Leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
A campus such as Kingston University, 1 mile north-west of Berrylands, has long runs of movement joint in its buildings, decks and paving.

Different surfaces, different methods
Podium joints
On podiums, the joint can belong to a larger waterproofing detail. Where the specification calls for sealant, we reseal, and tell you if the problem looks like the waterproofing below.
Car park decks and ramps
Water coming through deck joints is the usual first sign. The old seal comes out, the edges are prepared and the joint resealed flagging broken edges along the way.
Berrylands: questions and answers
Can you work in a London building with booked loading and goods-lift slots?
Yes. Booked loading bays, goods lifts and permit-to-work systems are normal for London jobs. The building manager’s rules go straight into our method. We allow for the ULEZ, which covers every borough
Can you work on a hospital site such as Tolworth Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Which product is best for expansion joints?
We choose a sealant with a movement capability that suits the joint. Where two different materials meet, a hybrid sealant can be the better choice.
Why has the sealant in our expansion joints split?
Most often the movement is too much for the product or the joint width. We review the joint design as well as the sealant before pricing so the same failure isn’t repeated.
Can a joint be sealed if the edges are broken?
A bond is only as strong as the material behind it, so broken or crumbling edges have to be repaired first. Where it’s visible beforehand, we will say so when we quote.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll plan around them. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it.

What else we do in Berrylands
Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
- Check joints after long freezing spells
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
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. Keeping the area coned off until then avoids tyre marks and damage.
Floor joints with failed fillers break up quickly under wheels. Broken arrises jolt trucks, loads and drivers, and the damage spreads along the joint. Sealing early protects the edges.
