Why it’s worth doing now in Temple Mills
Closing a car park for a reseal is rarely an option. Phased work by bay or zone lets the rest stay in use, compared with a full closure. Tell us what has to stay open and we’ll plan around it. Repeat call-outs disrupt occupied London buildings, so cutting the old sealant out fully and doing it right once is the better route.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.

What else we do in Temple Mills
What the job involves on each surface
Joints between different materials
Some mixed-material joints suit a hybrid sealant. We pick the product for the materials and the movement, and confirm it in the quote.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
A brick movement joint full of old mortar or debris can’t close. Everything is raked out before backing and sealant go in.
Questions we are asked in Temple Mills
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Homerton University Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is Leyton Mills Retail Park, near Temple Mills, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Temple Mills and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Leyton Mills Retail Park included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is movement joint sealing guaranteed?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails inside the 12 months, let us know.
What hours do you work?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll plan around them. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
How do we ask for a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
What exactly is a movement joint?
The general name is movement joint, and expansion joint is one common type. On site, people tend to use them interchangeably, and the sealing method is much the same.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
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.
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. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.

How a job runs
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Most London premises stay occupied while we are on site, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- 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.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Arrange parking or a loading space

Advice
Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Note which joints were done, when, and with what
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
Keep wheels, feet and water off new joints until the sealant has cured. How long that takes depends on the product, the temperature and the depth of the joint, and we confirm it for each area before we leave. Keeping the area coned off until then avoids tyre marks and damage.
When one joint fails, others of the same age are rarely far behind. It pays to check every joint, not just the obvious one. We can suggest an order, worst joints first.
Owners, agents and contractors
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Whether you’re 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.
