Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
What happens if it’s left?
Patching the worst lengths of a joint can make sense short term. The remaining sealant is often close to failing too. Where it helps, we quote both options. Failed sealant in a building in Hammersmith can quickly affect neighbours, tenants or the floor below: water travels through shared structures, and a small leak becomes a dispute between occupiers. Putting it right early is less disruptive than dealing with the consequences.
A quote for movement joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you’re working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.

About our expansion joint sealing in Hammersmith
A movement joint only works while its seal does. Once it fails, water, grit and debris get in; the joint jams, its edges take the load and the arrises spall. Resealing at the first signs of failure is far cheaper than repairing the material either side. If you have new sealant over old, now failing and debris jammed in movement joints, we can put it right, on podiums and floor movement joints, precast concrete panel joints and brickwork movement joints alike. Whoever orders the work in Hammersmith, the brief is usually the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Most London buildings can’t shut a car park, loading bay or warehouse floor for long. Joints are done in sections, with bays coned off one after another, so the site keeps operating.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Questions about Hammersmith
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Charing Cross 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.
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes, most London buildings have access rules of some kind, and we plan around them. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we will plan accordingly. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, which we allow for
Do you work in Hammersmith?
Yes. We take on work across Hammersmith, and the same phone number covers every area.
What guarantee do you give on joint sealing?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. Tell us straight away if a joint we sealed gives trouble in that time.
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.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Does the weather affect joint sealing?
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.
Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Cladding panel joints
We confirm what access is in place before pricing. Photos taken near the joints help us price accurately.
Honest limits
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Cost factors for movement joints
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Joint width, depth and condition
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What we need to price the job
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- When you need the work done
The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form if you’d rather talk the job through.
From enquiry to sign-off
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. Planning a London job such as one in Hammersmith starts with access: booked loading, goods lifts, the building’s permit system and a spot to keep materials. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability and tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Related advice
Do you need expansion joint sealing in Hammersmith?
Sun, rain and frost age external movement joints. UV hardens the surface, and the sealant loses its ability to stretch.
Look out for the following:
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
- Debris jammed in movement joints
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
Retail centres such as Kensington Arcade, 1.6 miles to the east of Hammersmith, have floors, service yards and car parks with joints under constant traffic.
