Expansion joint sealing in Fitzrovia, done properly
Every structure moves a little, all the time: they expand in the heat, shrink as they dry, and shift under load. Expansion and movement joints are built in so the structure can move without cracking and the seal across each one keeps out water and grit. We seal and reseal movement joints in walls, panels, decks and floors. We work on brickwork movement joints, podiums and floor movement joints and precast concrete panel joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are chipped joint edges on forklift routes and previous reseals laid over old sealant. Most enquiries from Fitzrovia start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Most London buildings can’t shut a car park, loading bay or warehouse floor for long. We work through joints a section at a time, closing small areas in turn, at times agreed with the building manager.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

What affects the price in Fitzrovia
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Any access equipment needed
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: 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.
Before you send an enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Any specification or named product
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
Joints that move: notes for Fitzrovia
In London, decks, bays and service yards normally have to keep running, so joints are sealed in sections with each area handed back once cured. Less than 3 miles from Fitzrovia there are at least three named estates and business parks. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints.
University campuses such as University of Westminster (to the south-west of Fitzrovia) have car parks, paved walkways and building elevations with movement joints. Retail centres such as Brunswick Centre (to the east of Fitzrovia) have floors, service yards and car parks with joints under constant traffic.

- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)

Common questions from Fitzrovia clients
Can you work on a hospital site such as Fitzrovia Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Can you cope with the access rules in a London building?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. The building manager’s rules go straight into our method.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Do you cover Fitzrovia?
Yes. Fitzrovia falls within our area, and the simplest way to start is to phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Can a joint be sealed if the edges are broken?
Spalled edges need repairing before a new seal will last and we will flag every length affected. A bead on a broken edge soon lets go.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit before quoting.
Which product is best for expansion joints?
It depends on the movement, exposure and traffic. Facades often take a low-modulus silicone; floors and decks typically need a polyurethane.
When to call us in Fitzrovia
With no backing rod or bond-breaker in place, sealant grips the base of the joint too. Bonded on three faces, it can’t stretch evenly when the joint opens, which is why depth control matters.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
Hospital campuses such as Fitzrovia Hospital, under half a mile to the west of Fitzrovia, grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.

Podium decks are exposed and often trafficked. We choose a product that copes with feet, wheels and weather.

Our process
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Most London premises stay occupied while we are on site, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid 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
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Let building users know which areas are affected
Quotes
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, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
