Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Roxbourne
We cover the full range of movement joints: brickwork and blockwork joints, precast and cladding panel joints, concrete joints, car park decks and ramps, podiums and floor movement joints. The product depends on the movement, the weather and anything that runs over it, and we’ll confirm the choice in the quote. The enquiries we see most involve movement joints with split or torn sealant and joints packed with grit and debris, on car park decks and ramps, brickwork movement joints and precast concrete panel joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Roxbourne first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Most London buildings can’t shut a car park, loading bay or warehouse floor for long. We work through joints a section at a time, closing small areas in turn.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Roxbourne as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Keeping the joints sound
After handover, these steps help:
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. Record which product went into which joints in the building file so future maintenance isn’t guesswork.
Joints sealed at the same time generally fail around the same time. It pays to check every joint, not just the obvious one. We will tell you which movement joints need doing now and which can wait.
Questions about Roxbourne
Is a hospital such as Cygnet Hospital somewhere you can work?
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.
Do you take on jobs in Roxbourne 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. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and our planning allows for it
Can you fit around our working hours?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Can you seal joints in cold or wet weather?
Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range. Cold, damp or frosty mornings can stop work outside, so we plan with the forecast in mind.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
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 if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Traffic, movement and joints around Roxbourne
Few London car parks or loading bays can be taken out of use for more than a short spell, so joints are sealed in sections with each area handed back once cured. At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Roxbourne. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment.
In a school such as The Moriah Jewish Day School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. Hospital campuses such as Cygnet Hospital (to the east of Roxbourne) grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old. A campus such as Westminster University (to the east of Roxbourne) has long runs of movement joint in its buildings, decks and paving.

On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we’re in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. If there’s a loading bay, a car park or a permit we can use, tell us when you send details.
- We start with photographs, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take, and flag anything that needs an engineer.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Point out any areas we must not close

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

What sets the cost
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Joint width, depth and condition
- The product specified
- How accessible the joints are
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Details that help us quote
We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Specification clauses that apply
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we’ll return a fixed quote that you can work with. If you have questions first, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
For managing agents and facilities managers
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
When to bring in a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
When it isn’t the sealant
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think before you book.
