- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment

How we handle expansion joint sealing in Kingston upon Thames
Our movement joint work takes in walls, panels, decks and floors: vertical joints in brick and block facades, joints between precast or cladding panels, concrete slab and deck joints, ramps, podiums and internal floors. Every one calls for a sealant picked for its movement, exposure and traffic and we name it in the quote. We work on podiums and floor movement joints, cladding panel joints and car park decks and ramps, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are rain penetration at brick or block movement joints and spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Kingston upon Thames it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
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, at times agreed with the building manager.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

What affects the price in Kingston upon Thames
Before we quote, we look at:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Access and working height
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Before you send an enquiry
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:
- Any specification or named product
- The postcode of the building
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we will put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us.
Our process
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. For a job in Kingston upon Thames, access comes first. Give us the hours we can be on site and we will schedule to suit.
- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- A fixed quote follows, naming the sealant and its movement class.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Move anything stored against the joints
Request a quote
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

Owners, agents and contractors
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Kingston upon Thames
With no backing rod or bond-breaker in place, sealant grips the base of the joint too. Sealant fixed to the base and sides can’t flex, so it tears so backing is set before sealing.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
Across sites such as St. George's Industrial Estate, 1 mile north of Kingston upon Thames, floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working.
What your quote should include
- How they’ll work around occupants
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Their approach to joint depth and backing

Expansion joint sealing in Kingston upon Thames: the local picture
The 3 miles around Kingston upon Thames take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment. Basement car parks and service yards in London tend to be in use all working day, so joints are sealed in sections with each area handed back once cured.
If you manage units on an estate such as Fairfield Trade Park, 0.8 miles south-east of Kingston upon Thames, the floor joints under forklifts and pallet trucks and the slab joints in the yard are the ones to watch. A campus such as Kingston University Knight's Park Campus, 0.7 miles south of Kingston upon Thames, has long runs of movement joint in its buildings, decks and paving.

Should maintenance staff do it?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
