Different surfaces, different methods
Podium joints
Podium decks are exposed and often trafficked. We choose a product that copes with feet, wheels and weather.
Car park decks and ramps
Deck and ramp joints take tyre loads, grit and de-icing salts. A trafficable sealant suited to the movement goes in.
How we handle expansion joint sealing in Bromley
Floor movement joints in warehouses, retail and public buildings carry wheeled traffic. Unsupported edges break up under wheels. We will tell you if the edges need repairing before sealing, and phased work keeps areas in use. We work on car park decks and ramps, cladding panel joints and brickwork movement joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are joints packed with grit and debris and water dripping through deck or ramp joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Bromley is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Bromley have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Questions about Bromley
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Herts and Essex Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is Standon Business Park, near Bromley, within your area?
Yes, sites like Standon Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Bromley. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Is Bromley in your area?
Yes. We cover Bromley, and the simplest way to start is to ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
What timescale should we allow for resealing expansion joints?
The metres of joint, the access and the amount of removal decide it. As a guide, it usually takes a few hours to several weeks, depending on how many metres of joint there are and how much old sealant or filler needs removing.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Are expansion joints and movement joints the same thing?
Put simply, it’s a planned break in a wall, slab or deck so the materials can move. Many people call it an expansion joint and both need a flexible seal.
Why deal with it now?
Patching the worst lengths of a joint can make sense short term. The remaining sealant is often close to failing too, and a second visit means paying for access again. Where it helps, we quote both options. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Bromley, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

Cost factors for movement joints
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The size and state of each joint
- How much there is to seal
- Phasing around occupants
- Location, for remote and island sites
Pricing movement joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you are working to. Call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Any dates the work must fit around
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Looking after the joints
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
Floor joints on main traffic routes need watching more closely than the rest. Avoid standing heavy loads or racking legs on the joints, and report any chipped edges early.
Floor joints with failed fillers break up quickly under wheels. Broken arrises jolt trucks, loads and drivers and the broken length grows with every pass. Keeping the filler or sealant sound protects the floor.
Warehouse floors and decks around Bromley
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, while winter salting gets into any joint left open.

Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.

- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
