Expansion joint sealing near Woodside Park

How the job changes by surface

Concrete and precast panel joints

Joints between precast panels open and close with temperature and loading. We use a sealant classed for the movement, laid over backing to depth.

Joints between different materials

Junctions between brick and render, or concrete and cladding, move independently. The product must bond to both substrates and cope with the movement.

Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Woodside Park

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, and the sealant in them keeps water and debris out. Mastic Doctor reseals movement joints in brickwork, blockwork, concrete, cladding and floors on sites in Woodside Park. If you have joints packed with grit and debris and brittle, chalky sealant on external joints, we can help, on blockwork control joints, podiums and floor movement joints and precast concrete panel joints alike. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Woodside Park? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.

Floor and movement joints in London take heavy use: car park decks, loading bays, shopping centre malls and podiums over occupied space. A failed joint lets water and debris in, and the edges soon spall, so it pays to act early.

We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application.

Doing it in-house

There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.

Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.

Why deal with it now?

Some quotes just add sealant over the old bead. A bead laid on top of the failed one neither grips nor flexes properly, so it fails quickly. We cut out the old seal and prepare the faces every time. Repeat call-outs disrupt occupied London buildings, so a proper job first time, with the old sealant fully removed, is worth it.

There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

Questions we are asked in Woodside Park

Is a hospital such as Finchley Memorial Hospital somewhere you can work?

Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. 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, most London buildings have access rules of some kind, and we plan around them. Share the building’s contractor rules and we will work to them. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, which we allow for

How long will the joint resealing take?

It normally takes a short visit for a handful of joints, or several days or more for a car park deck or long runs of facade joints and phased work can stretch that to suit your site. We’ll confirm when each area can be used again.

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.

Do you work in Woodside Park?

Yes. Woodside Park falls within our area, and you can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form to get started.

What guarantee do you give on joint sealing?

The 12-month guarantee applies to the workmanship. Tell us straight away if a joint we sealed gives trouble in that time.

How long before the joints can be used?

We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.

Owners, agents and contractors

We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.

Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.

How a job runs

When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself typically taking anything from part of a day to a couple of weeks, depending on joint lengths, widths and access. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. If there’s a loading bay, a car park or a permit we can use, tell us when you send details.

  1. First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
  2. You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
  3. Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
  4. Closed-cell backing rod is set to depth, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints.
  5. Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
  6. Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.

Before we start on site

  • Let us know about inductions and permits
  • Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
  • Tell staff and tenants when we will be in

Joints that move: notes for Woodside Park

In London, decks, bays and service yards typically have to keep running, so the work is broken into short sections agreed with the building manager. Less than 3 miles from Woodside Park there are at least three named estates and business parks. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic.

Estates like Finchley Industrial Centre (under half a mile north-east of Woodside Park) combine warehouse slabs, yards and loading bays, all with joints under wheels. University campuses such as Middlesex University, 2.8 miles to the south-west of Woodside Park, have car parks, paved walkways and building elevations with movement joints. Another example is North London Business Park, which lies east of Woodside Park, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers.

Woodside Park is about 1 mile north of Finchley, in Greater London. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Woodside Park can call on us for movement joints. Woodside Park is one of 764 places we cover in Greater London for movement joints. London is covered too, around 9 miles from Woodside Park.

If you need expansion joint sealing in N12, N3 and N20, the process matches everywhere else we work: details, then a fixed price, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Streets here include High Road, Lodge Lane and Percy Road. We also cover North Finchley (1 mile east), Oakleigh Park (1 mile north-east), Whetstone (1 mile north-east), Church End (1 mile south) and Finchley (1 mile south). Further afield, our area takes in London (9 miles south-east), City of Westminster (7 miles south), Marylebone (7 miles south), Kensington (8 miles south), St Pancras (7 miles south-east) and Shoreditch (8 miles south-east).

Around Woodside Park

We work on buildings around Francis Skaryna Belarusian Library and Museum, St Michael's Catholic Grammar School and Woodhouse College and the streets around them. Other local landmarks include Malt & Hops pub (less than half a mile north-east) and Swan Lane Open Space (0.6 miles north-east). Woodside Park’s nearest station is Oakleigh Park station, roughly 1.6 miles north-east. Other landmarks nearby include Grand Arcade (less than half a mile south-east) and Finchley Memorial Hospital (0.9 miles south-east). For a walk, there’s Darland's Lake and Highgate Hill.

Keeping the joints sound

Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:

  • Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
  • Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
  • Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
  • Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round

On car parks, winter clearance can damage deck joint sealant. Raising blades over joints where possible protects the seal.

Once debris packs a failed joint, the structure has nowhere to expand. The arrises crack and break away under the load. Keeping the seal sound avoids all of that.
