How we handle expansion joint sealing in Hackney Wick
We’ve been sealing expansion and movement joints for over 20 years, for main contractors, FMs, managing agents and building owners. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, we’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and we carry five million pounds of public liability insurance. Workmanship is backed by our 12-month guarantee. If you are dealing with joints packed with grit and debris and movement joints with split or torn sealant, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Hackney Wick, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around Hackney Wick, 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.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Hackney Wick
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Hackney Wick can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Greater London.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Hackney Wick
At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Hackney Wick. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic. London car parks, loading bays and podium decks often can’t close for long, which is why we work a few bays at a time.
Estates like Hamlet Industrial Estate (to the north-east of Hackney Wick) combine warehouse slabs, yards and loading bays, all with joints under wheels. Hospitals like Homerton University Hospital (to the north-west of Hackney Wick) have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock. Retail centres such as Stratford Centre (to the east of Hackney Wick) have floors, service yards and car parks with joints under constant traffic.
Hackney Wick is about 1 mile west of Stratford, in Greater London. Across the E3 postcode area, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Our Greater London coverage takes in 764 places, large and small.
Commercial sites across E3, E9 and E20 are covered for movement joints. If your site is on Wick Lane, Dace Road and Wyke Road or close by, we can quote for movement joints. Nearby places we also cover include Fish Island (1 mile south), Donnybrook Quarter (1 mile south-west), Old Ford (1 mile south), Temple Mills (1 mile north-east) and East Village (1 mile north-east). Further afield, our area takes in London (4 miles south-west), City of Westminster (6 miles west), Marylebone (6 miles west), Kensington (8 miles west), St Pancras (4 miles west) and Shoreditch (3 miles south-west).
Around Hackney Wick
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to Mulberry UTC, Mabley Green and Mulberry UTC and the streets around them. There’s a railway station in Hackney Wick itself: Hackney Wick station. Well-known places in the area include Tower of London (3.3 miles south-west) and V&A East (less than half a mile east). Not far away are Tower Hill and Old Ford Island.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Planning a London job such as one in Hackney Wick starts with access. Give us the hours we can be on site and we will schedule to suit.
- 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.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
Grit is the slow enemy of a joint seal. Stones pressed into the bead by wheels or feet can puncture it, especially on car park decks and warehouse floors. A routine sweep is the simplest protection.
An open joint fills with grit, and a joint full of grit can’t close. The edges then take the pressure and start to spall and the reseal becomes an edge repair as well. Keeping the seal sound avoids all of that.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hackney Wick
A failed joint seal doesn’t mean the slab, panel or wall needs replacing. Where the edges are sound, cutting out and resealing is enough. If the edges have broken up, we’ll tell you they need repairing first. Repeat call-outs disrupt occupied London buildings, so cutting the old sealant out fully and doing it right once is the better route.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

Surface by surface
Car park decks and ramps
Car park joints are some of the hardest-working joints in any building. We use a sealant made for wheel loads and the expected movement with bays done in phases so the car park keeps running.
Internal floor movement joints
Warehouse and retail floors have saw-cut induced joints and construction joints. Trafficked floor joints often get a semi-rigid filler and a flexible sealant where the joint moves more.
Common questions from Hackney Wick clients
Will you take on work at estates like Hamlet Industrial Estate, close to Hackney Wick?
Yes. We cover Hackney Wick and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Hamlet Industrial Estate. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Homerton University Hospital, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
How much does the work cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Do the joint edges need to be sound before sealing?
The edges have to be sound. If they’re damaged, we’ll say so before any sealing, so the new seal has something to grip.
Can you seal joints in cold or wet weather?
A wet joint can’t be sealed properly, so external work waits for suitable conditions. We agree a revised date with you.
Can you send site paperwork?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
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.

When to bring in a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
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. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
