Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Wimbledon Chase
Floor movement joints in warehouses, retail and public buildings carry wheeled traffic. Without a sound filler, joint edges chip and spall under load. We’ll tell you if the edges need repairing before sealing, and phased work keeps areas in use. The enquiries we see most involve joints where the bead has lost adhesion and weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes, on cladding panel joints, precast concrete panel joints and blockwork control joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Wimbledon Chase it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Most London buildings can’t shut a car park, loading bay or warehouse floor for long. We work through joints a section at a time, closing small areas in turn, at times agreed with the building manager.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

When to bring in a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
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.
After the work
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
Movement joints belong on the planned maintenance inspection list. Early splits and edges starting to lift show up on a routine check. Should you spot a problem, you can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and send a picture.
On a multi-storey car park, a failed joint normally shows up as a leak onto the deck underneath. Salty water dripping through stains soffits and lands on parked vehicles. Sealing the joint promptly stops it at source.

Your questions answered
Can you cope with the access rules in a London building?
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
Will you take on work at estates like Nelson Trading Estate, close to Wimbledon Chase?
Yes. Our area takes in Wimbledon Chase and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Nelson Trading Estate included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
What exactly is a movement joint?
The general name is movement joint, and expansion joint is one common type. In everyday use the two names are often swapped and the way they’re sealed is similar.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Which product is best for expansion joints?
We choose a sealant with a movement capability that suits the joint as set out in BS EN ISO 11600. Hybrid or MS polymer products suit some mixed-material joints.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.

Cost factors for movement joints
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- How accessible the joints are
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Distance, for remote addresses
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you are ready.
Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Our process
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. Most London premises stay occupied while we are on site, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- Where the maker calls for primer, it’s applied first, then the bead goes in and is tooled to a concave finish.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We’ll tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer.
