About our expansion joint sealing in Malden Rushett
We have been sealing expansion and movement joints for over 20 years for contractors, facilities managers and owners. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, CSCS-carded applicators and five million pounds of public liability insurance. Each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship. If you have rain penetration at brick or block movement joints and sealant peeling off one face of the joint, we can help, whatever the surface. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Malden Rushett tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around Malden Rushett, 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.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

The 3 miles around Malden Rushett take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. 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 we seal in sections and hand areas back as each cures.

Surface by surface
Podium joints
On podiums, the joint can belong to a larger waterproofing detail. 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
Car park joints are some of the hardest-working joints in any building. We use a sealant made for wheel loads and the expected movement, phased so parts of the car park stay open.
Why act early in Malden Rushett
A torn seal left alone usually gets worse. Grit and water fill the gap and the material either side breaks up and the job grows to repairs as well as sealing. Resealing early keeps the work to sealant. Repeat call-outs disrupt occupied London buildings, so a proper job first time, with the old sealant fully removed, is worth it.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.

When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think before you book.

Aftercare for building managers
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
Floor joints on main traffic routes need watching more closely than the rest. Avoid standing heavy loads or racking legs on the joints, and report any chipped edges early.
When one joint fails, others of the same age are rarely far behind. Inspecting the whole run is worth the effort. We can suggest an order, worst joints first.
How a job runs
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. Most London premises stay occupied while we’re on site, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- 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.
- 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
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Point out any areas we must not close
