When it isn’t the sealant
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal

Expansion joint sealing in Kidbrooke, done properly
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 is cut away, backing rod goes in at depth, and a low-modulus masonry sealant is gunned and tooled, primed where the manufacturer specifies. If you are dealing with previous reseals laid over old sealant and sealant pulling off the joint face, 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 Kidbrooke, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around Kidbrooke, 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.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll come back to it.

Diagnose, treat, 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 we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. If there’s a loading bay, a car park or a permit we can use, tell us when you send details.
- We start with photos, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take and tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need

How the job changes by surface
Podium joints
Podium joints often sit within a waterproofing system. We reseal the joint where sealant is the specified fix, and tell you if the problem looks like the waterproofing below.
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.

Other services in Kidbrooke
Do you need expansion joint sealing in Kidbrooke?
Repeated failure often traces back to the wrong product. A stiff or general-purpose sealant across a joint with large movement won’t cope. Movement capability is set out in BS EN ISO 11600, and specifications often refer to it.
Look out for the following:
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
Retail sites such as Stone Lake Retail Park (1.7 miles north of Kidbrooke) have car park, service yard and shop floor joints under constant traffic.
Questions to ask before you book
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
Cost factors for movement joints
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Removal of failed or old sealant
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
What to include in your enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- The site address and postcode
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Questions we are asked in Kidbrooke
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Memorial Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can you work at a site such as Stone Lake Retail Park, by Kidbrooke?
Yes. Our area takes in Kidbrooke and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Stone Lake Retail Park included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you seal joints in cold or wet weather?
Weather matters for any external joint. Internal floor joints are far less affected.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
What if the joint edges are damaged?
Spalled edges need repairing before a new seal will last, and we will point out where that’s the case. A bead on a broken edge soon lets go.
Do you reseal car park expansion joints?
Yes. Tyre loads, grit and de-icing salts make these some of the hardest joints to keep sealed, and we’ll tell you if any edges need repairing first.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Kidbrooke
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Kidbrooke can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Greater London.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.

In London, decks, bays and service yards typically have to keep running, so we seal in sections and hand areas back as each cures.
