Your questions answered
Can you work in a London building with booked loading and goods-lift slots?
Yes, most London buildings have access rules of some kind, and we plan around them. The building manager’s rules go straight into our method. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, which we allow for

How do we ask for a quote?

How much does the work cost?

Do you need to see the site first?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Expansion joint sealing in Bounds Green
Few joints take as much punishment as those in a car park. Wheel loads, grit and de-icing salts attack the seal and the concrete either side, 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 and the work can be phased so parts of the car park stay open. We work on podiums and floor movement joints, precast concrete panel joints and blockwork control joints, and what we’re called in for most is debris jammed in movement joints and hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Bounds Green tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Most London buildings can’t shut a car park, loading bay or warehouse floor for long. Joints are done in sections, with bays coned off one after another, so the site keeps operating, at times agreed with the building manager.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

What affects the price in Bounds Green
What shapes the price:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Any access equipment needed
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Before you send an enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Any specification or named product
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us.
From enquiry to sign-off
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. In Bounds Green, most buildings stay in use during the work, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- We assess the joints on site or from photographs, noting widths and how each has failed.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Send your site hours and access windows

Advice
Doing it in-house
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Bounds Green. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
- Note which joints were done, when, and with what
Movement joints belong on the planned maintenance inspection list. Early splits and edges starting to lift show up on a routine check. Should you spot a problem, you can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and send a picture.
An open joint fills with grit, and a joint full of grit can’t close. The edges then take the pressure and start to spall. A sound seal keeps the joint working.

Where floor joints take the most wear near Bounds Green
The 3 miles around Bounds Green take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest. In London, decks, bays and service yards normally have to keep running, so we seal in sections and hand areas back as each cures.
For a store at a site such as Friern Bridge Retail Park (0.9 miles north-west of Bounds Green), the service yard and goods-in area are where joints break down first. Hospital campuses such as Priory Hospital (to the north of Bounds Green) grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old. For estates staff at a university like American University in London (3.2 miles south of Bounds Green), building and paving joints are part of the planned maintenance list.

What happens if it’s left?
Re-sealing with the same product that failed is often a false economy. If the joint is too narrow or the product wrong for the movement, it needs a different approach and we’ll tell you honestly. Access in London is hard enough to arrange once, so it makes sense to deal with every failing joint while access is in place.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
