How we handle expansion joint sealing in Holland Park
Long runs of brick or block have movement joints built in that most people only notice when the sealant has gone. Failed sealant here lets rain into the wall and can leave the joint full of debris. The old seal comes out, backing goes in and a sealant with the right movement class is applied. We work on brickwork movement joints, car park decks and ramps and cladding panel joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are chipped joint edges on forklift routes and leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below. Whoever orders the work in Holland Park, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Around Holland Park, as across London, joints are under constant load, from basement car parks and loading bays to podium decks and busy mall floors. A failed joint lets water and debris in, and the edges soon spall, so it pays to act early.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Holland Park as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Surface by surface
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Masonry faces are often porous, dusty or crumbly. Faces are prepared and primed wherever the sealant maker calls for it.
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, and tell you if edges need repairing first.
Cost factors for movement joints
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The product specified
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Any access equipment needed
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What to include in your enquiry
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Any specification or named product
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos if you’d rather talk the job through.
When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Car park decks and ramps
- Blockwork control joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
Movement joints belong on the planned maintenance inspection list. Early splits and edges starting to lift show up on a routine check and long before edges start to break. Should you spot a problem, you can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and send a picture.
Joints sealed at the same time generally fail around the same time. Inspecting the whole run is worth the effort. We can suggest an order, worst joints first.

What else we do in Holland Park
What we’re called out for in Holland Park
On trafficked joints, wheels and salts do the damage. Tyres and wheels press on the edges and the sealant. A sealant that isn’t trafficable won’t last there.
Look out for the following:
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
Hospitals like Cromwell Hospital, 0.8 miles south-east of Holland Park, have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock.

Expansion joint sealing around Holland Park: how the place shapes the job
The 3 miles around Holland Park take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest. Basement car parks and service yards in London tend to be in use all working day, which is why we work a few bays at a time.
A campus such as University of Westminster, under half a mile south of Holland Park, has long runs of movement joint in its buildings, decks and paving. For a centre such as Kensington Arcade, 0.6 miles to the east of Holland Park, the service yard and car park joints typically need attention first.

Common questions from Holland Park clients
Do you cover business parks and estates near Holland Park, such as Berghem Mews Business Village?
Yes, sites like Berghem Mews Business Village are within our area, along with the rest of Holland Park. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you work in a London building with booked loading and goods-lift slots?
Yes. Inductions, permits and timed loading are routine for us in London. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we will plan accordingly.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
That depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Can you quote from photographs?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.
Is movement joint sealing guaranteed?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. Tell us right away if a joint we sealed gives trouble in that time.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
On site: what to expect
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. All of Greater London is in the ULEZ, and kerbside space in Holland Park can be scarce. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- 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
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
