Expansion joint sealing in Norwood New Town, done properly
For movement joints in Norwood New Town, photographs and approximate lengths are the best start. Send them through our quote form, and we will arrange a site visit if needed before issuing a fixed quote. You can also ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to talk the joints through. The enquiries we see most involve joints packed with grit and debris and torn sealant in brick or block movement joints, on precast concrete panel joints, podiums and floor movement joints and car park decks and ramps. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Norwood New Town is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Most London buildings can’t shut a car park, loading bay or warehouse floor for long. Joints are done in sections, with bays coned off one after another, so the site keeps operating, at times agreed with the building manager.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll come back to it.

When something else is needed
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Why it’s worth doing now in Norwood New Town

Aftercare for building managers
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
- Check joints after long freezing spells
Debris does more harm to joint sealant than most people realise. Grit trodden or driven into the joint works at the surface until it tears and decks and floors suffer most. Regular sweeping keeps joint lines clear.
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.
Surface by surface
Cladding panel joints
Cladding panels move more than masonry as they heat and cool. A sealant with the right movement class is chosen.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Mortar snots and debris in the joint stop it working. We clear the joint fully before sealing.
From enquiry to sign-off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself normally takes a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Most London premises stay occupied while we are on site, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- A fixed quote follows, naming the sealant and its movement class.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Advice
FAQs: Norwood New Town
Would you work within a site like British Home & Hospital for Incurables?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Norwood New Town, such as Hamilton Road Industrial Estate?
Yes. Our area takes in Norwood New Town and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Hamilton Road Industrial Estate included. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
Do you reseal car park expansion joints?
Yes, we do. Tyre loads, grit and de-icing salts make these some of the hardest joints to keep sealed.
Should maintenance staff do it?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
