About our expansion joint sealing in Turnham Green
For movement joints in Turnham Green, photographs and approximate lengths are the best start. We’ll come and look where photos don’t show enough, then send a fixed quote that names the sealant. To discuss the joints first, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. The enquiries we see most involve joints where the bead has lost adhesion and leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below, across blockwork control joints, cladding panel joints and podiums and floor movement joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Turnham Green first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Floor and movement joints in London take heavy use: car park decks, loading bays, shopping centre malls and podiums over occupied space. When a joint fails, grit and water get in and the arrises start to break up.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Questions about Turnham Green
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Barnes Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can you work in a London building with booked loading and goods-lift slots?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. The building manager’s rules go straight into our method. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, which we allow for
Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Usually, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
What sealant do you use in movement joints?
Movement capability matters most, classified under BS EN ISO 11600. Hybrid or MS polymer products suit some mixed-material joints.
Our process
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- 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.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
Quotes
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Advice
What we are called out for in Turnham Green
On trafficked joints, wheels and salts do the damage. Wheel loads stress the sealant and the arrises, while grit and salts work into any gap. A sealant that isn’t trafficable won’t last there.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
At places like Berghem Mews Business Village (1.8 miles north-east of Turnham Green), joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.

Honest limits
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We’ll tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Car park decks and ramps
- Brickwork movement joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
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’ll tell you they need repairing first. Access in London is hard enough to arrange once, so it makes sense to deal with every failing joint while access is in place.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

Joints that move: notes for Turnham Green
Turnham Green has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. 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 we seal in sections and hand areas back as each cures.
For a school such as The William Hogarth Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays. For a store at a site such as Kew Retail Park, 1.2 miles to the south-west of Turnham Green, the service yard and goods-in area are where joints break down first.

General trades versus a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.

On podiums, the joint can belong to a larger waterproofing detail. Where the specification calls for sealant, we reseal.
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.
