Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Old Malden
If you need expansion joint sealing in Old Malden, start with photos and joint lengths. We will come and look where photographs don’t show enough, then send a fixed quote that names the sealant. You can also ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form to talk the joints through. If you have torn sealant in brick or block movement joints and new sealant over old, now failing, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Old Malden it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
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.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll come back to it.

FAQs: Old Malden
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Tolworth Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can you work in a London building with booked loading and goods-lift slots?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. The building manager’s rules go straight into our method. We allow for the ULEZ, which covers every borough
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Why do our movement joints keep failing?
Typically the joint is moving more than the sealant can take. We review the joint design as well as the sealant before pricing so the same failure isn’t repeated.
What if the joint edges are damaged?
A bond is only as strong as the material behind it, so we will tell you if the edges need repairing before sealing. We flag it at the quote stage where we can see it.
Does the weather affect joint sealing?
Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range. Cold, damp or frosty mornings can stop work outside so external dates keep some flexibility.
Should maintenance staff do it?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Maintenance after handover
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
Movement joints belong on the planned maintenance inspection list. A periodic look picks up tears and lifting before water gets in and long before edges start to break. If anything looks wrong, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with photographs.
Once debris packs a failed joint, the structure has nowhere to expand. The arrises crack and break away under the load. Keeping the seal sound avoids all of that.
What we can’t put right
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Where floor joints take the most wear near Old Malden

The 3 miles around Old Malden 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.
Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Shannon Commercial Centre (2.1 miles north-east of Old Malden): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time.

Brickwork and blockwork joints
Long brick and block elevations have movement joints at intervals. They take a low-modulus sealant with a movement class to suit, with backing rod setting the depth.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast and concrete panel joints move daily. The sealant needs the right movement capability and a controlled depth.
