Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Biggin Hill
On trafficked joints, wheels and salts do the damage. Tyres and wheels press on the edges and the sealant. A sealant that isn’t trafficable won’t last there.
Look out for the following:
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
In a school such as Oaklands Primary Academy, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
Before you book anyone
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
How we handle expansion joint sealing in Biggin Hill

Most enquiries involve expansion joints filled with dirt and stones and damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed, across blockwork control joints, precast concrete panel joints and cladding panel joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Biggin Hill, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.

What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- 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
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Brickwork movement joints
- Blockwork control joints
Questions about Biggin Hill
Can you cope with the access rules in a London building?

What’s the quickest route to a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
What sealant do you use in movement joints?
Movement capability matters most, classified under BS EN ISO 11600. Where two different materials meet, a hybrid sealant can be the better choice.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Is Biggin Hill in your area?
Yes. Sites across Biggin Hill are covered, and the same phone number covers every area.
Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
Every joint we seal is backed by a 12-month guarantee on workmanship. Record which product went into which joints in the building file, so the next reseal starts with the facts.
Unsupported floor joint edges spall under forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Damaged edges make the floor rough and wear wheels faster, and the damage spreads along the joint. Sealing early protects the edges.

How the job changes by surface
Joints between different materials
Hybrid or MS polymer sealants bond to many substrates. The choice depends on the substrates and how much the joint moves.
Car park decks and ramps
Failed deck joints often show as leaks on the level below. The old seal comes out, the edges are prepared and the joint resealed flagging broken edges along the way.
General trades versus a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. For a job in Biggin Hill, access comes first. Give us the hours we can be on site and we will schedule to suit.
- 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.
- Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
