Expansion joint sealing in Hurlingham, done properly
Floor movement joints in warehouses, retail and public buildings carry wheeled traffic. Without a sound filler, joint edges chip and spall under load, so the right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement matters. We’ll tell you if the edges need repairing before sealing. If you have expansion joints split through the centre of the bead and new sealant over old, now failing, we can help, on blockwork control joints, podiums and floor movement joints and car park decks and ramps alike. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Hurlingham is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around Hurlingham, 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.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

How a job runs
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. All of Greater London is in the ULEZ, and kerbside space in Hurlingham can be scarce. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- Closed-cell backing rod is set to depth, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Questions we are asked in Hurlingham
Do you cover business parks and estates near Hurlingham, such as Hurlingham Business Park?
Yes. Our area takes in Hurlingham and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Hurlingham Business Park included. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you cope with the access rules in a London building?
Yes. Booked loading bays, goods lifts and permit-to-work systems are normal for London jobs. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we will plan accordingly.
How long will the joint resealing take?
Allow anything from part of a day to a couple of weeks, depending on joint lengths, widths and access. We confirm the timescale with the quote.
Why has the sealant in our expansion joints split?
The way it has failed typically tells us why: tearing down the centre means too much movement, and lifting off one side means poor adhesion. Sometimes the edge material itself has failed.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
What’s the difference between an expansion joint and a movement joint?
The terms overlap a great deal. Both let materials grow and shrink with temperature, moisture and load, and the seal across it keeps water and debris out.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Why deal with it now?
A like-for-like reseal of a joint that keeps splitting rarely lasts. If the joint is too narrow or the product wrong for the movement, it needs a different approach and we’ll tell you honestly. In a London building, a failed joint rarely affects only one party. Dealing with it early is simpler for everyone.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you are ready.

Joints that move: notes for Hurlingham
London car parks, loading bays and podium decks often can’t close for long, so we seal in sections and hand areas back as each cures. Hurlingham has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment.
University campuses such as BIMM University (to the north of Hurlingham) have car parks, paved walkways and building elevations with movement joints. For a centre such as Kensington Arcade (2.1 miles north of Hurlingham), the service yard and car park joints typically need attention first. Office parks like Hurlingham Business Park, less than half a mile south-east of Hurlingham, have decks, ramps and clad elevations whose joints take movement every day.
Hurlingham is about 2 miles south of Kensington, in Greater London. Hurlingham sits inside our coverage, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. 764 places across Greater London fall within our area, Hurlingham among them.

Concrete and precast panel joints
Joints between precast panels open and close with temperature and loading. We use a sealant classed for the movement, laid over backing to depth.
Cladding panel joints
Metal and composite panels shift considerably as temperatures change. A sealant with the right movement class is chosen in a colour confirmed for that product.
Maintenance after handover
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. Record which product went into which joints in the building file.
Floor joints with failed fillers break up quickly under wheels. Damaged edges make the floor rough and wear wheels faster, and the damage spreads along the joint. Sealing early protects the edges.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer.
