Expansion joint sealing in Colliers Wood, done properly
A movement joint only works while its seal does. Once it fails, water, grit and debris get in. Resealing at the first signs of failure is far cheaper than repairing the material either side. If you are dealing with sealant pulling off the joint face and layers of sealant in a movement joint, we can help, on car park decks and ramps, brickwork movement joints and podiums and floor movement joints alike. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Colliers Wood it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Floor and movement joints in London take heavy use: car park decks, loading bays, shopping centre malls and podiums over occupied space. A failed joint lets water and debris in, and the edges soon spall.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Questions about Colliers Wood
Can you cope with the access rules in a London building?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and our planning allows for it
Can you work at a site such as College Fields Business Centre, by Colliers Wood?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Colliers Wood, College Fields Business Centre among them, are all within reach. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
In most cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Why do our movement joints keep failing?
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 you seal joints in cold or wet weather?
Outside work depends on conditions: rain, frost and condensation all stop sealant bonding. Internal floor joints are far less affected.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal

Diagnose, treat, sign off
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. All of Greater London is in the ULEZ, and kerbside space in Colliers Wood can be scarce. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- We assess the joints on site or from photos, 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.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
What we need from you
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Flag any permit to work we will need
Getting a fixed quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.

Why it’s worth doing now in Colliers Wood
Some quotes just add sealant over the old bead. A bead laid on top of the failed one neither grips nor flexes properly. Full removal and preparation is in every quote. Getting scaffold, permits or access booked in Colliers Wood takes effort, so it makes sense to deal with every failing joint while access is in place.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

Owners, agents and contractors
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
What affects the price in Colliers Wood
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Distance, for remote addresses
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Sending details for a quote
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The postcode of the building
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- When you need the work done
For a fixed quote, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Our quote form is another easy route.
Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Colliers Wood
Repeated failure often traces back to the wrong product. Products not classed for the movement fail early. Movement capability is set out in BS EN ISO 11600, and specifications often refer to it.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
Another example is Priory Retail Park, which lies south-west of Colliers Wood, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers.
