Expansion joint sealing near Farringdon
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
What the job involves on each surface
Internal floor movement joints
Wheeled traffic chips floor joint edges that aren’t supported. We match the product to the traffic and the movement, and tell you if edges need repairing first.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
A brick movement joint full of old mortar or debris can’t close. We clear the joint fully before sealing and flag any joint that seems undersized.
Expansion joint sealing in Farringdon
Joints in car park decks and ramps are among the hardest-working in any building. Wheel loads, grit and de-icing salts attack the seal and the concrete either side, so failed seals soon lead to leaks onto the level below and broken edges. A sealant suited to traffic and the expected movement goes in, phasing bays so the car park can stay in use. We work on podiums and floor movement joints, brickwork movement joints and precast concrete panel joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are sealant peeling off one face of the joint and arrises breaking up along floor joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Farringdon is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Farringdon have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
On car parks, winter clearance can damage deck joint sealant. Lifting the blade at each joint avoids tearing the bead.
Floor joints with failed fillers break up quickly under wheels. Broken arrises jolt trucks, loads and drivers. Keeping the filler or sealant sound protects the floor.
Do you need expansion joint sealing in Farringdon?
When the movement exceeds the sealant’s capability, the bead tears. A joint that’s too narrow for the movement, or a product with the wrong movement class, will split through the middle. Resealing like for like often fails the same way, so we check width and movement before quoting.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Debris jammed in movement joints
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Farringdon Business Park (less than half a mile west of Farringdon): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time.
What your quote should include
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
Our process
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. 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. For work around Farringdon, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Agree which areas must stay open
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Advice
FAQs: Farringdon
Will you take on work at estates like Farringdon Industrial Centre, close to Farringdon?
Yes, sites like Farringdon Industrial Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Farringdon. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is Farringdon too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you seal joints in cold or wet weather?
The joint has to be dry, and the air and surface temperature inside the product’s limits. Cold, damp or frosty mornings can stop work outside, so we plan with the forecast in mind.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Do you guarantee expansion joint work?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. Tell us straight away if a joint we sealed gives trouble in that time.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
What timescale should we allow for resealing expansion joints?
That depends on joint lengths, widths, access and how much old sealant or filler needs removing. Typically it takes a few hours to several weeks, depending on how many metres of joint there are and how much old sealant or filler needs removing.
