How we handle expansion joint sealing in Harrow on the Hill
Floor movement joints in warehouses, retail and public buildings carry wheeled traffic. Without a sound filler, joint edges chip and spall under load. We will tell you if the edges need repairing before sealing. We work on brickwork movement joints, podiums and floor movement joints and blockwork control joints, and what we’re called in for most is water getting into the wall through a failed joint and weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Harrow on the Hill, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Areas such as a loading bay or car park deck in Harrow on the Hill normally have to stay in use. Joints are done in sections, with bays coned off one after another, so the site keeps operating.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Common questions from Harrow on the Hill clients
Is Harrovian Business Village, near Harrow on the Hill, within your area?

Would you work within a site like The Clementine Churchill Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
What exactly is a movement joint?
Movement joint is the broad term for any joint built in to let a structure move. On site, people tend to use them interchangeably and the way they’re sealed is similar.
What if the joint edges are damaged?
A bond is only as strong as the material behind it, so broken or crumbling edges have to be repaired first. Where it’s visible beforehand, we will say so when we quote.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
What the job involves on each surface
Internal floor movement joints
Forklift and pallet-truck wheels break unsupported joint edges. The right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement protects them flagging broken arrises before sealing.
Cladding panel joints
We confirm what access is in place before pricing. Photos taken near the joints help us price accurately or a site visit fills the gaps.
From enquiry to sign-off
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. All of Greater London is in the ULEZ, and kerbside space in Harrow on the Hill can be scarce. If there’s a loading bay, a car park or a permit we can use, tell us when you send details.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- Closed-cell backing rod is set to depth, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints.
- Where the maker calls for primer, it’s applied first, then the bead goes in and is tooled to a concave finish.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Let building users know which areas are affected

When it isn’t the sealant
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
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, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
When to bring in a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
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. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
