When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Cladding panel joints
Expansion joint sealing in Newyears Green, done properly
The seal is what lets a movement joint do its job. Once it fails, water, grit and debris get in, the joint can’t close properly and its edges begin to crumble. Resealing at the first signs of failure is far cheaper than repairing the material either side. If you are dealing with leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below and new sealant over old, now failing, we can put it right, whatever the surface. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Newyears Green from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Areas such as a loading bay or car park deck in Newyears Green typically have to stay in use. We work through joints a section at a time, closing small areas in turn, at times agreed with the building manager.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Newyears Green
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. Less than 3 miles from Newyears Green there are at least three named estates and business parks. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest.
Another example is Braintree Road Industrial Estate, which lies south-east of Newyears Green, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers. Large sites such as Harefield Hospital (2.1 miles north-west of Newyears Green) have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels.

Questions we are asked in Newyears Green
Do you take on jobs in Newyears Green where loading and access are tightly controlled?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we will plan accordingly. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, which we allow for
Can you work on a hospital site such as Harefield Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
What sealant do you use in movement joints?
Movement capability matters most. Where two different materials meet, a hybrid sealant can be the better choice.
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.
Are expansion joints and movement joints the same thing?
It’s a deliberate gap that lets the structure move without cracking. Expansion joint is a name often used for the same thing.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. 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.

FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Most London premises stay occupied while we are on site, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- We assess the joints on site or from photographs, noting widths and how each has failed.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- 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.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Getting the site ready
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Related advice
Why act early in Newyears Green
A like-for-like reseal of a joint that keeps splitting rarely lasts. A higher movement class, or a design change by the engineer, may be needed. Repeat call-outs disrupt occupied London buildings, so cutting the old sealant out fully and doing it right once is the better route.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.

Do you need expansion joint sealing in Newyears Green?
Repeated failure often traces back to the wrong product. Products not classed for the movement fail early. BS EN ISO 11600 classifies building sealants by movement capability.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
Campuses like Buckinghamshire New University (to the south-west of Newyears Green) mix old and new buildings, with movement joints wherever they meet.
What your quote should include
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
