Can a joint be sealed if the edges are broken?
The edges have to be sound. If they’re damaged, we will say so before any sealing, so the new seal has something to grip.
About our expansion joint sealing in Carshalton
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; water dripping through to the deck below is often the first sign. A sealant suited to traffic and the expected movement goes in and the work can be phased so parts of the car park stay open. If you have sealant peeling off one face of the joint and joints packed with grit and debris, we can put it right. For commercial sealant work in Carshalton, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Around Carshalton, as across London, joints are under constant load, from basement car parks and loading bays to podium decks and busy mall floors. When a joint fails, grit and water get in and the arrises start to break up.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Greater London. If an installation problem shows up, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will arrange a return visit.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Carshalton can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
What we can’t put right
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Car park decks and ramps
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Blockwork control joints
Our process
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Planning a London job such as one in Carshalton starts with access: booked loading, goods lifts, the building’s permit system and a spot to keep materials. 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 and tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Advice
When to bring in a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. 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.
After the work
After handover, these steps help:
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
- Note which joints were done, when, and with what
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
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.
Once debris packs a failed joint, the structure has nowhere to expand. The arrises crack and break away under the load, turning a sealant job into a repair job. A sound seal keeps the joint working.

Quoting for work in Carshalton
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Phasing around occupants
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Removal of failed or old sealant
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What to include in your enquiry
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:
- When you need the work done
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The type of building and who uses it
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
