What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer.

How we handle expansion joint sealing in Surrey Quays
Buildings and slabs are never completely still: temperature, moisture, shrinkage and loading all make materials grow and shrink. 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. We work on brickwork movement joints, precast concrete panel joints and podiums and floor movement joints, and what we are called in for most is rain penetration at brick or block movement joints and movement joints with split or torn sealant. Searching for sealant specialists in Surrey Quays? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Areas such as a loading bay or car park deck in Surrey Quays usually have to stay in use. 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. If an installation problem shows up, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will arrange a return visit.

When to call us in Surrey Quays
With no backing rod or bond-breaker in place, sealant grips the base of the joint too. Bonded on three faces, it can’t stretch evenly when the joint opens, which is why depth control matters.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
A campus such as University of Sunderland in London (to the north-east of Surrey Quays) has long runs of movement joint in its buildings, decks and paving.

Your questions answered
Can you cope with the access rules in a London building?
Yes, most London buildings have access rules of some kind, and we plan around them. Share the building’s contractor rules and we’ll work to them. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, which we allow for
Would you work within a site like Royal London Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
How much does the work cost?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Why act early in Surrey Quays
A like-for-like reseal of a joint that keeps splitting rarely lasts. A higher movement class, or a design change by the engineer, may be needed. In a London building, a failed joint rarely affects only one party: water travels through shared structures, and a small leak becomes a dispute between occupiers. Putting it right early is less disruptive than dealing with the consequences.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Why appoint us
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible
- Specification-led, product-correct work
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job

Cost factors for movement joints
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Phasing around occupants
- The product specified
- How much existing material needs removing
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Sending details for a quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- When you need the work done
- What the building is and how it’s used
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.

- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.

Joints that move: notes for Surrey Quays
Less than 3 miles from Surrey Quays there are at least three named estates and business parks. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic. In London, decks, bays and service yards normally have to keep running, so the work is broken into short sections agreed with the building manager.

A healthcare site such as Royal London Hospital (to the north of Surrey Quays) depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.
