Expansion joint sealing around Dollis Hill: how the place shapes the job
At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Dollis Hill. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic. Few London car parks or loading bays can be taken out of use for more than a short spell, so we seal in sections and hand areas back as each cures.
Hospital campuses such as BMI Hendon Hospital, 2.1 miles north of Dollis Hill, grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old. In a school such as Our Lady of Grace Catholic Junior School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. Across sites such as Falcon Park Industrial Estate, 0.9 miles south-west of Dollis Hill, floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working.

About our expansion joint sealing in Dollis Hill
Joint design counts for as much as the sealant itself. Joint width must suit the movement and the movement class of the sealant, and depth is controlled using closed-cell backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints. For wider joints, the width-to-depth ratio is often around 2:1, as the manufacturer advises. Site teams most often ask us about water dripping through deck or ramp joints and sealant peeling off one face of the joint, across precast concrete panel joints, blockwork control joints and brickwork movement joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Dollis Hill is the same: 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, so it pays to act early.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will arrange a return visit.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. In Dollis Hill, most buildings stay in use during the work, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- We assess the joints on site or from photos, noting widths and how each has failed.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Why act early in Dollis Hill
Leaving a failed movement joint rarely stays a small problem. Grit and water fill the gap and the material either side breaks up and the job grows to repairs as well as sealing. Resealing early keeps the work to sealant. Access in London is hard enough to arrange once, so it makes sense to deal with every failing joint while access is in place.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.

Common questions from Dollis Hill clients
Is hospital work, at somewhere like BMI Hendon Hospital, something you do?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can you work at a site such as Brent Cross Shopping Park, by Dollis Hill?
Yes. Our area takes in Dollis Hill and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Brent Cross Shopping Park included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
What exactly is a movement joint?
Movement joint is the broad term for any joint built in to let a structure move. On site, people tend to use them interchangeably and the way they’re sealed is similar.
Are you insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
What happens if it rains on the day?
Weather matters for any external joint because a damp or frozen joint won’t take a proper bond. Indoor joints can normally carry on regardless.
Will you quote for a small job?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
How the job changes by surface
Internal floor movement joints
Warehouse and retail floors have saw-cut induced joints and construction joints. Trafficked floor joints often get a semi-rigid filler, with a flexible sealant where movement is larger.
Car park decks and ramps
Car park joints are some of the hardest-working joints in any building. We use a sealant made for wheel loads and the expected movement, phased so parts of the car park stay open.
Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
Floor joints on main traffic routes need watching more closely than the rest. Keep racking feet and heavy point loads off joint lines.
An open joint fills with grit, and a joint full of grit can’t close. The arrises crack and break away under the load. Keeping the seal sound avoids all of that.
Work for main contractors and building owners
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
