How we handle expansion joint sealing in Oakleigh Park
The seal is what lets a movement joint do its job. When the sealant splits or lets go, the gap fills with dirt and water, the joint can’t close properly and its edges begin to crumble. Dealt with early, it stays a sealant job rather than a concrete or masonry repair. We work on brickwork movement joints, cladding panel joints and car park decks and ramps, and what we are called in for most is car park joints leaking onto vehicles below and weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Oakleigh Park, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Areas such as a loading bay or car park deck in Oakleigh Park typically have to stay in use. We work through joints a section at a time, closing small areas in turn.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

FAQs: Oakleigh Park
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Finchley Memorial Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Can you work at a site such as Finchley Industrial Centre, by Oakleigh Park?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Oakleigh Park, Finchley Industrial Centre among them, are all within reach. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
What exactly is a movement joint?
It’s a deliberate gap that lets the structure move without cracking. Many people call it an expansion joint, and either way it needs a sound seal.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Can a joint be sealed if the edges are broken?
Broken arrises have to be put right before resealing and we will flag every length affected. A bead on a broken edge soon lets go.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Owners, agents and contractors
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Cost factors for movement joints
To price the job, we consider:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Working within restricted access windows
- The size and state of each joint
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What to include in your enquiry
We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:
- When you need the work done
- The type of building and who uses it
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Access details, including height
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over if you’d rather talk the job through.

Do you need expansion joint sealing in Oakleigh Park?
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, and specifications often refer to it.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
Across sites such as North London Business Park (0.9 miles east of Oakleigh Park), floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working.
