Expansion joint sealing for Crooked Billet sites
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
What we can’t put right
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

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, so it pays to act early.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Greater London. Should something we installed fail, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll come back to it.

Do you need expansion joint sealing in Crooked Billet?
Sealant peeling cleanly off one side is an adhesion failure. Poor preparation, a skipped primer, or sealant bonded to the back of the joint are typical reasons and it often shows on rushed work.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
At places like Nelson Trading Estate, which lies east of Crooked Billet, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Their public liability cover
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
Common questions from Crooked Billet clients
Can you work on a hospital site such as New Victoria Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Do you take on jobs in Crooked Billet where loading and access are tightly controlled?
Yes. Booked loading bays, goods lifts and permit-to-work systems are normal for London jobs. Share the building’s contractor rules and we’ll work to them.
What if the joint edges are damaged?
Spalled edges need repairing before a new seal will last, and we’ll point out where that’s the case. Sealing over them leads to early failure.
Do you reseal car park expansion joints?
Yes, we do. Tyre loads, grit and de-icing salts make these some of the hardest joints to keep sealed, and we’ll tell you if any edges need repairing first.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
In most cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Quoting for work in Crooked Billet
Before we quote, we look at:
- How accessible the joints are
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- The site’s rules and procedures
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.
Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area.

Related advice
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance 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.

What else we do in Crooked Billet
Surface by surface
Concrete and precast panel joints
Concrete edges can be weak or carry release agents that stop adhesion. Proper cleaning and primer where specified give a sound bond and check the edges for soundness as we go.
Joints between different materials
Some mixed-material joints suit a hybrid sealant. The choice depends on the substrates and how much the joint moves.
