Doing it in-house
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.

Questions about Earlsfield
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Springfield University Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Can you work in a London building with booked loading and goods-lift slots?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. The building manager’s rules go straight into our method. We allow for the ULEZ, which covers every borough
What timescale should we allow for resealing expansion joints?
Allow a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases. Timings are set out in the quote, including any phasing.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Who decides which product is used?
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.
Is movement joint sealing guaranteed?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. Tell us straight away if a joint we sealed gives trouble in that time.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.

Car park decks and ramps
Failed deck joints often show as leaks on the level below. We strip the old seal, prepare the edges and seal again flagging broken edges along the way.
Podium joints
On podiums, the joint can belong to a larger waterproofing detail. Where the specification calls for sealant, we reseal.
Commercial clients in Earlsfield

We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Earlsfield. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
From enquiry to sign-off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. If there’s a loading bay, a car park or a permit we can use, tell us when you send details.
- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- Where the maker calls for primer, it’s applied first, then the bead goes in and is tooled to a concave finish.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site

How the quote is worked out
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Access and working height
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- How much existing material needs removing
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Access details, including height
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The product your specification calls for
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
What we’re called out for in Earlsfield
Weathering wears down sealant on exposed elevations and decks. UV hardens the surface, and the sealant loses its ability to stretch.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Debris jammed in movement joints
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
At a retail site such as Priory Retail Park, which lies south of Earlsfield, trolleys, cages and cars run over floor and slab joints all day.
What your quote should include
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
