Expansion joint sealing near Loughborough Junction

Do you need expansion joint sealing in Loughborough Junction?
Some joints were never sealed with the right product. Products not classed for the movement fail early. BS EN ISO 11600 classifies building sealants by movement capability.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
Sites like King's College Hospital, less than half a mile to the north-east of Loughborough Junction, carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints.

How we handle expansion joint sealing in Loughborough Junction
Brickwork and blockwork walls have vertical movement joints at intervals. Once the seal fails, rain reaches the cavity and the joint can no longer close. The old seal is cut away, backing rod goes in at depth, and a low-modulus masonry sealant is gunned and tooled. If you are dealing with movement joints with split or torn sealant and arrises breaking up along floor joints, we can put it right, whatever the surface. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Loughborough Junction first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Most London buildings can’t shut a car park, loading bay or warehouse floor for long. We work through joints a section at a time, closing small areas in turn.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will come back to it.

How the quote is worked out
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- How much there is to seal
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Joint width, depth and condition
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Sending details for a quote
However big the job, the same details help:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Where the site is, with the postcode
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Loughborough Junction
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Where floor joints take the most wear near Loughborough Junction
At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Loughborough Junction. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints. Few London car parks or loading bays can be taken out of use for more than a short spell, so the work is broken into short sections agreed with the building manager.
If you manage units on an estate such as Mahatma Gandhi Industrial Estate, less than half a mile to the south of Loughborough Junction, the floor joints under forklifts and pallet trucks and the slab joints in the yard are the ones to watch. Campuses like King's College London (0.5 miles north-east of Loughborough Junction) mix old and new buildings, with movement joints wherever they meet.

Why act early in Loughborough Junction
Closing a car park for a reseal is rarely an option. Phased work by bay or zone lets the rest stay in use, compared with a full closure. Tell us what has to stay open and we will plan around it. Failed sealant in a building in Loughborough Junction can quickly affect neighbours, tenants or the floor below. Dealing with it early is simpler for everyone.

Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Loughborough Junction, Mahatma Gandhi Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we are cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. All of Greater London is in the ULEZ, and kerbside space in Loughborough Junction can be scarce. If there’s a loading bay, a car park or a permit we can use, tell us when you send details.
- We assess the joints on site or from photos, noting widths and how each has failed.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- 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.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
