Expansion joint sealing in Shooter's Hill
Every structure moves a little, all the time: they expand in the heat, shrink as they dry, and shift under load. Movement joints are where that movement is absorbed and the seal across each one keeps out water and grit. We seal and reseal movement joints in walls, panels, decks and floors. If you’re dealing with movement joints with split or torn sealant and brittle, chalky sealant on external joints, we can help, on podiums and floor movement joints, brickwork movement joints and cladding panel joints alike. For commercial sealant work in Shooter's Hill, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
London’s floor joints are concentrated in warehouses and trade units, car parks, podiums and decks. Planning a job in Shooter's Hill means thinking about access, loading times and the ULEZ as well as the joints.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Shooter's Hill. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
How a job runs
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. In Shooter's Hill, most buildings stay in use during the work, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- 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
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

What the job involves on each surface
Cladding panel joints
Access to cladding joints is agreed before the price is fixed. Photos taken near the joints help us price accurately, or we visit if they don’t show enough.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Brick and block edges need careful preparation. We clean them back to sound material and prime where the manufacturer specifies before the bead goes in.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Redoing a failed joint typically 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.

Joints that move: notes for Shooter's Hill
Basement car parks and service yards in London tend to be in use all working day, so the work is broken into short sections agreed with the building manager. Shooter's Hill has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints.
Retail centres such as Stone Lake Retail Park (to the north-west of Shooter's Hill) have floors, service yards and car parks with joints under constant traffic.

Your questions answered
Will you take on work at estates like Gateway Business Centre, close to Shooter's Hill?
Yes. Our area takes in Shooter's Hill and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Gateway Business Centre included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can you work in a London building with booked loading and goods-lift slots?
Yes, most London buildings have access rules of some kind, and we plan around them. 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
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Can you work on car park ramps and decks?
Yes. Tyre loads, grit and de-icing salts make these some of the hardest joints to keep sealed.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Why deal with it now?
Resealing is normally the answer, not replacing the element. If the material either side is sound, a properly prepared reseal restores the joint. If the edges have broken up, we will tell you they need repairing first. In a London building, a failed joint rarely affects only one party. Putting it right early is less disruptive than dealing with the consequences.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
