When something else is needed
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think before you book.

About our expansion joint sealing in Duckett's Green
Joint design counts for as much as the sealant itself. Joint width must suit the movement and the movement class of the sealant while depth is limited by backing rod or, in shallow joints, a bond-breaker. For wider joints, the width-to-depth ratio is often around 2:1, as the manufacturer advises and the bead bonds to the sides, never the back. We work on podiums and floor movement joints, precast concrete panel joints and cladding panel joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are joints packed with grit and debris and spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks. Most enquiries from Duckett's Green start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Distribution and trade units on London’s edges, and deck car parks across the city, hold most of its floor and slab joints. In Duckett's Green, as everywhere in London, access, loading and the ULEZ all come into the plan.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Greater London. If an installation problem shows up, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will arrange a return visit.

FAQs: Duckett's Green
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. Share the building’s contractor rules and we’ll work to them. We allow for the ULEZ, which covers every borough
Is hospital work, at somewhere like St Ann's Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Why do our movement joints keep failing?
It depends on how the sealant has let go: a split through the middle points to over-stretching, while peeling from one face points to preparation or primer. Sometimes the edge material itself has failed.
Are expansion joints and movement joints the same thing?
The general name is movement joint, and expansion joint is one common type. In everyday use the two names are often swapped and the way they’re sealed is similar.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.

Related advice
Do you need expansion joint sealing in Duckett's Green?
With no backing rod or bond-breaker in place, sealant grips the base of the joint too. Sealant fixed to the base and sides can’t flex, so it tears so backing is set before sealing.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Arena Shopping Park (0.9 miles south of Duckett's Green): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time.
Comparing quotes
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
What the job involves on each surface
Joints between different materials
Hybrid or MS polymer sealants bond to many substrates. We pick the product for the materials and the movement, and confirm it in the quote.
Internal floor movement joints
Forklift and pallet-truck wheels break unsupported joint edges. We match the product to the traffic and the movement.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
