About our expansion joint sealing in Cubitt Town
Joints in car park decks and ramps are among the hardest-working in any building. Tyres load the edges, and de-icing salts and water work into any gap. A sealant suited to traffic and the expected movement goes in, phasing bays so the car park can stay in use. We work on car park decks and ramps, podiums and floor movement joints and precast concrete panel joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes and leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below. Whoever orders the work in Cubitt Town, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Areas such as a loading bay or car park deck in Cubitt Town normally have to stay in use. Joints are done in sections, with bays coned off one after another, so the site keeps operating, at times agreed with the building manager.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

For managing agents and facilities managers
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Why act early in Cubitt Town
A torn seal left alone typically gets worse. Water and debris get in, the joint jams and the edges spall. Acting at the first split keeps the cost down. In a London building, a failed joint rarely affects only one party. Putting it right early is less disruptive than dealing with the consequences.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. Most London premises stay occupied while we’re on site, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- We start with photographs, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- 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.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The product your specification calls for
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
FAQs: Cubitt Town
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as The London Independent 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 Cubitt Town where loading and access are tightly controlled?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. Share the building’s contractor rules and we will work to them.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Do you cover Cubitt Town?
Yes. Cubitt Town falls within our area, and the simplest way to start is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Can you send site paperwork?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.

Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
In warehouses, forklift and pallet-truck routes take the most wear. Avoid standing heavy loads or racking legs on the joints and flag chipped arrises before they spread.
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, turning a sealant job into a repair job. A sound seal keeps the joint working.
