About our expansion joint sealing in West Hendon
A movement joint only works while its seal does. When the sealant splits or lets go, the gap fills with dirt and water. Dealt with early, it stays a sealant job rather than a concrete or masonry repair. Most enquiries involve layers of sealant in a movement joint and spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks, on podiums and floor movement joints, cladding panel joints and brickwork movement joints. Looking for mastic applicators who cover West Hendon? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Around West Hendon, as across London, joints are under constant load, from basement car parks and loading bays to podium decks and busy mall floors. A failed joint lets water and debris in, and the edges soon spall.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
Snow ploughs and scrapers catch on joint lines. Raising blades over joints where possible protects the seal, and it’s worth checking joints once the cold weather has passed.
Once debris packs a failed joint, the structure has nowhere to expand. The edges then take the pressure and start to spall, turning a sealant job into a repair job. A sound seal keeps the joint working.
When to call us in West Hendon
On trafficked joints, wheels and salts do the damage. Wheel loads stress the sealant and the arrises. A sealant that isn’t trafficable won’t last there.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
For estates staff at a university like Middlesex University, which lies north of West Hendon, building and paving joints are part of the planned maintenance list.
What your quote should include
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?

Our process
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself typically taking anything from part of a day to a couple of weeks, depending on joint lengths, widths and access. In West Hendon, most buildings stay in use during the work, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- 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.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
What we need from you
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Common questions from West Hendon clients
Will you take on work at estates like Silk Bridge Retail Park, close to West Hendon?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around West Hendon, Silk Bridge Retail Park among them, are all within reach. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. The building manager’s rules go straight into our method. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and our planning allows for it
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Do you use silicone or polyurethane in movement joints?
The specification comes first, then the joint’s movement and exposure. The quote states the sealant and its movement class so there are no surprises.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
Is colour matching possible?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
Why it’s worth doing now in West Hendon
Spot repairs can be useful on a tight budget. The remaining sealant is often close to failing too. Where it helps, we quote both options. Failed sealant in a building in West Hendon can quickly affect neighbours, tenants or the floor below. Putting it right early is less disruptive than dealing with the consequences.
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 quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Why appoint us
- Standard and matched colours in many product ranges
- Our applicators hold CSCS cards
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months
- Colour agreed before work starts

Where floor joints take the most wear near West Hendon
At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of West Hendon. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest. Basement car parks and service yards in London tend to be in use all working day, so we seal in sections and hand areas back as each cures.
Another example is Colindale Retail Park, 0.7 miles north-west of West Hendon, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers. For a store at a site such as Silk Bridge Retail Park, which lies south-east of West Hendon, the service yard and goods-in area are where joints break down first.
