Expansion joint sealing in Eel Pie Island
We cover the full range of movement joints: brickwork and blockwork joints, precast and cladding panel joints, concrete joints, car park decks and ramps, podiums and floor movement joints. The product depends on the movement, the weather and anything that runs over it and we name it in the quote. The enquiries we see most involve previous reseals laid over old sealant and expansion joints filled with dirt and stones, on podiums and floor movement joints, brickwork movement joints and cladding panel joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Eel Pie Island first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Floor and movement joints in London take heavy use: car park decks, loading bays, shopping centre malls and podiums over occupied space. When a joint fails, grit and water get in and the arrises start to break up, so it pays to act early.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
On car parks, winter clearance can damage deck joint sealant. Lifting the blade at each joint avoids tearing the bead, and it’s worth checking joints once the cold weather has passed.
A failed deck joint lets water straight through to the level below. That water often carries de-icing salts with it, which is bad news for the concrete and the people parking below. Resealing early limits the damage.

Advice
Questions about Eel Pie Island
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Cassel Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we 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 Newmans Shipyard & Business Park, by Eel Pie Island?
Yes. We cover Eel Pie Island and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Newmans Shipyard & Business Park. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
What guarantee do you give on joint sealing?
A 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship. Keeping joints clear of debris helps them last.
Can you seal joints in cold or wet weather?
Weather matters for any external joint because a damp or frozen joint won’t take a proper bond. Internal floor joints are far less affected.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.
What if the joint edges are damaged?
Spalled edges need repairing before a new seal will last. Sealing over them leads to early failure.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Work for main contractors and building owners
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
How the job changes by surface
Joints between different materials
Junctions between brick and render, or concrete and cladding, move independently. The product must bond to both substrates and cope with the movement.
Cladding panel joints
We confirm what access is in place before pricing. Photos taken near the joints help us price accurately, or we visit if they don’t show enough.
Do you need expansion joint sealing in Eel Pie Island?
Most movement joint failures come down to the joint stretching further than the sealant can take. A joint that’s too narrow for the movement, or a product with the wrong movement class, will split through the middle. The same product in the same joint tends to fail again unless width and product are reviewed.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Debris jammed in movement joints
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
A healthcare site such as Cassel Hospital, 1.1 miles south-east of Eel Pie Island, depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
