Your questions answered
Does your area include sites such as Maryland Industrial Estate, near Maryland?
Yes. Our area takes in Maryland and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Maryland Industrial Estate included. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Homerton University Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
What do you charge?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
How long will the joint resealing take?
It typically takes a short visit for a handful of joints, or several days or more for a car park deck or long runs of facade joints and phased work can stretch that to suit your site. We’ll confirm when each area can be used again.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
What’s the difference between an expansion joint and a movement joint?
Movement joint is the broad term for any joint built in to let a structure move. In everyday use the two names are often swapped and the way they’re sealed is similar.
Expansion joint sealing in Maryland
Every structure moves a little, all the time: temperature, moisture, shrinkage and loading all make materials grow and shrink. Expansion and movement joints are built in so the structure can move without cracking. We seal and reseal movement joints in walls, panels, decks and floors on sites in Maryland. If you have torn sealant in brick or block movement joints and expansion joints filled with dirt and stones, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Whoever orders the work in Maryland, the brief is usually the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Floor and movement joints in London take heavy use: car park decks, loading bays, shopping centre malls and podiums over occupied space. A failed joint lets water and debris in, and the edges soon spall.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Why it’s worth doing now in Maryland
Doing joint resealing alongside other planned works can save on access. Leaking joints need sealing now. We can split the scope into urgent and planned. Repeat call-outs disrupt occupied London buildings, so a proper job first time, with the old sealant fully removed, is worth it.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Why us?
- CHAS accredited
- Failed material removed, not covered up
- A fixed quote before work starts
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job

When to bring in a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Common problems we fix in Maryland
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.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Chipped joint edges on forklift routes
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
- Joints packed with grit and debris
For estates staff at a university like University of East London, less than half a mile to the east of Maryland, building and paving joints are part of the planned maintenance list.
Before you book anyone
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
For managing agents and facilities managers
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Maryland. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
How the quote is worked out
These are the things that shape the price:
- The size and state of each joint
- Distance, for remote addresses
- The product specified
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Pricing movement joints depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
However big the job, the same details help:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The postcode of the building
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us.
From enquiry to sign-off
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself typically takes a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases, and we clear our waste as we work. Planning a London job such as one in Maryland starts with access: booked loading, goods lifts, the building’s permit system and a spot to keep materials. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
- 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.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- 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.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Advice
Expansion joint sealing around Maryland: points for this area
In London, decks, bays and service yards usually have to keep running, so we seal in sections and hand areas back as each cures. The 3 miles around Maryland take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest.
For an occupier at a site such as Maryland Industrial Estate (0.5 miles north-east of Maryland), the joints at loading doors and dock levellers normally see the hardest wear. Another example is Hamlet Industrial Estate, 0.9 miles to the west of Maryland, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers.
Maryland is about 3 miles south of Walthamstow, in Greater London. Anywhere in E15, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Maryland is one of 764 places in Greater London on our list for movement joints.
Postcode districts covered here: E15, E20 and E7. Streets here include Cam Road, Ward Road and Wise Road. We also cover Stratford (1 mile west), East Village (1 mile north-west), Temple Mills (1 mile north-west), West Ham (1 mile south-east) and Holloway Down (1 mile north). Bigger towns within reach include London (5 miles south-west), City of Westminster (7 miles west), Marylebone (6 miles west), Kensington (9 miles west), St Pancras (5 miles west) and Shoreditch (3 miles west).
What’s near Maryland
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to Sarah Bonnell School, West Ham Park and Carpenters Primary School, among other places. There’s a railway station in Maryland itself: Stratford (London) station. A little further out are Passmore Edwards Museum (0.5 miles east) and Tower of London (4 miles south-west). The countryside around Maryland includes Old Ford Island and Hollow Pond.
