Surface by surface
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, phased so parts of the car park stay open.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast and concrete panel joints move daily. The sealant needs the right movement capability and a controlled depth.
About our expansion joint sealing in Tulse 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. We seal and reseal movement joints in walls, panels, decks and floors on sites in Tulse Hill. Site teams most often ask us about new sealant over old, now failing and weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes, on podiums and floor movement joints, brickwork movement joints and blockwork control joints. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Tulse Hill, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Distribution and trade units on London’s edges, and deck car parks across the city, hold most of its floor and slab joints. Planning a job in Tulse Hill means thinking about access, loading times and the ULEZ as well as the joints.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

FAQs: Tulse Hill
Can you work in a London building with booked loading and goods-lift slots?
Yes. Inductions, permits and timed loading are routine for us in London. The building manager’s rules go straight into our method. We allow for the ULEZ, which covers every borough
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Lambeth Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Do the joint edges need to be sound before sealing?
Spalled edges need repairing before a new seal will last and we’ll flag every length affected. A bead on a broken edge soon lets go.
When can you be on site?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Why has the sealant in our expansion joints split?
The common causes are poor preparation, three-sided adhesion, the wrong movement class and weathering. We diagnose which one it is before resealing, because the fix differs.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Tulse Hill can form part of a wider programme.
Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.

Leave it or put it right?
Doing joint resealing alongside other planned works can save on access. Leaking joints need sealing now, as damage continues meanwhile. We can split the scope into urgent and planned. In Tulse Hill, each extra visit means more notices, permits and disruption, so a proper job first time, with the old sealant fully removed, is worth it.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Should maintenance staff do it?
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 where general trades tend to cut corners.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Where floor joints take the most wear near Tulse Hill
In London, decks, bays and service yards typically have to keep running, which is why we work a few bays at a time. At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Tulse Hill. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest.
Hospital campuses such as Lambeth Hospital, 1.5 miles north-west of Tulse Hill, grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old. For an occupier at a site such as Bessemer Park Industrial Estate (1 mile north of Tulse Hill), the joints at loading doors and dock levellers normally see the hardest wear. At places like Parkhall Business Centre, 1 mile south-east of Tulse Hill, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.

What we can’t put right
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think.

From enquiry to sign-off
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. Planning a London job such as one in Tulse Hill starts with access. Give us the hours we can be on site and we will schedule to suit.
- 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.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
