When to bring in a 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.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
How we handle expansion joint sealing in Thames Ditton
Our movement joint work takes in walls, panels, decks and floors: brickwork and blockwork joints, precast and cladding panel joints, concrete joints, car park decks and ramps, podiums and floor movement joints. Every one calls for a sealant picked for its movement, exposure and traffic, and we’ll confirm the choice in the quote. Most enquiries involve previous reseals laid over old sealant and joints where the bead has lost adhesion, on precast concrete panel joints, brickwork movement joints and blockwork control joints. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Thames Ditton from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Around Thames Ditton, most floor and movement joint jobs are single buildings or yards. That way the right materials come on the day and the job is done in one visit where possible.

Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
Snow ploughs and scrapers catch on joint lines. Lifting the blade at each joint avoids tearing the bead, and it’s worth checking joints once the cold weather has passed.
Joints sealed at the same time generally fail around the same time. It pays to check every joint, not just the obvious one. We’ll tell you which movement joints need doing now and which can wait.
Quoting for work in Thames Ditton
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- How much existing material needs removing
- Working within restricted access windows
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Details that help us quote
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The postcode of the building
- Your programme or deadline
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Our process
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. For a job in Thames Ditton, the main thing is a clear picture of the work, so send photographs of each area. A fixed quote follows.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- A fixed quote follows, naming the sealant and its movement class.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Closed-cell backing rod is set to depth, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in

Questions about Thames Ditton
Is a hospital such as Molesey Community Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Thames Ditton off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you seal joints in cold or wet weather?
Weather matters for any external joint because a damp or frozen joint won’t take a proper bond. Internal floor joints are far less affected.
Can you send site paperwork?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
What will the job cost?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote and we will price it properly.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Do you use silicone or polyurethane in movement joints?
It depends on the movement, exposure and traffic. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many facade joints, while polyurethane is common in trafficked floor and deck joints unless the specification names something else.

What the job involves on each surface
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Mortar snots and debris in the joint stop it working. We clear the joint fully before sealing.
Car park decks and ramps
Car park joints are some of the hardest-working joints in any building. We use a sealant made for wheel loads and the expected movement with bays done in phases so the car park keeps running.
