Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Planning a London job such as one in Ealing starts with access. Give us the hours we can be on site and we will schedule to suit.
- We start with photographs, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability, and flag anything that needs an engineer.
- Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Move anything stored against the joints

How we handle expansion joint sealing in Ealing
A movement joint only works while its seal does. When the sealant splits or lets go, the gap fills with dirt and water; the joint jams, its edges take the load and the arrises spall. Dealt with early, it stays a sealant job rather than a concrete or masonry repair. We work on cladding panel joints, blockwork control joints and precast concrete panel joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes and new sealant over old, now failing. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Ealing first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Around Ealing, as across London, joints are under constant load, from basement car parks and loading bays to podium decks and busy mall floors. When a joint fails, grit and water get in and the arrises start to break up, so it pays to act early.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
What affects the price in Ealing
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Working within restricted access windows
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The total length or number of joints
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What we need to price the job
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The site address and postcode
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
What we can’t put right
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think.

Questions we’re asked in Ealing
Do you take on jobs in Ealing where loading and access are tightly controlled?

What hours do you work?

Are expansion joints and movement joints the same thing?
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.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.

- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
- Check joints after long freezing spells

Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. Keep the handover details, product and date with your O&M records, so the next reseal starts with the facts.
Unsupported floor joint edges spall under forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Broken arrises jolt trucks, loads and drivers. Sealing early protects the edges.
