About our expansion joint sealing in Leamouth
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. We work on cladding panel joints, blockwork control joints and podiums and floor movement joints, and what we’re called in for most is new sealant over old, now failing and joints packed with grit and debris. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Leamouth tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Areas such as a loading bay or car park deck in Leamouth normally have to stay in use. Joints are done in sections, with bays coned off one after another, so the site keeps operating, at times agreed with the building manager.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Surface by surface
Concrete and precast panel joints
Concrete edges can be weak or carry release agents that stop adhesion. We prepare the faces thoroughly and prime where the maker calls for it and check the edges for soundness as we go.
Internal floor movement joints
Warehouse and retail floors have saw-cut induced joints and construction joints. A semi-rigid filler is common in trafficked industrial floors and a flexible sealant where the joint moves more.
Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Leamouth
Weathering wears down sealant on exposed elevations and decks. In time the bead chalks, stiffens and cracks and opens at the next temperature swing.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
Retail parks like Manor Road Retail Park, 0.5 miles north of Leamouth, have long runs of car park and yard joints taking daily traffic.
What to look for in a quote
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
For managing agents and facilities managers
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.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Common questions from Leamouth clients
Does your area include sites such as Manor Road Retail Park, near Leamouth?
Yes, sites like Manor Road Retail Park are within our area, along with the rest of Leamouth. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Newham University Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
Are expansion joints and movement joints the same thing?
It’s a deliberate gap that lets the structure move without cracking. Many people call it an expansion joint and both need a flexible seal.
Is Leamouth in your area?
Yes. Sites across Leamouth are covered.
Which product is best for expansion joints?
We choose a sealant with a movement capability that suits the joint, classified under BS EN ISO 11600. Where two different materials meet, a hybrid sealant can be the better choice.
How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- The total length or number of joints
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote when you’re ready.
Details that help us quote
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Access details, including height
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with what you know.
How a job runs
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself usually taking a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases. Planning a London job such as one in Leamouth starts with access. Give us the hours we can be on site and we’ll schedule to suit.
- We assess the joints on site or from photographs, noting widths and how each has failed.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
