Sound familiar?

  • The sealant in the expansion joint is cracked and pulling away.
  • Water leaks along a straight line across the ceiling below.
  • The joint between two buildings or blocks leaks after rain.
  • Facade panel and window joints have hardened and gaps are showing.
  • Floor joints in the car park are broken up by traffic.

Every one of these has a lasting fix — once the source is found.

The Survey

What we check before quoting expansion joint sealing

Most failed waterproofing jobs treated the stain, not the source. These are the points we check on every survey before we recommend a system or a price.

Sealant adhesion & hardening

Old sealant tested for adhesion and elasticity; hardened, UV-damaged sealant has lost the ability to move and must come out.

Joint width & movement

Joint width and expected movement decide the sealant and the joint profile, so the new joint is not overstressed.

Backer rod & depth

Correct backer rod and sealant depth checked — a joint filled too deep or bonded on three sides tears itself apart.

Joint covers

On roofs, podiums and car parks, wide joints may need a pre-formed joint system or cover plate rather than sealant alone.

Questions

Expansion Joint Sealing FAQs

The questions Dubai and Sharjah owners ask us most about this service.

Typical 2026 rates are AED 60–180 per linear metre for remove failed sealant, backer rod & new PU / silicone joint. Pre-formed joint systems for car parks and roofs are quoted per project.

Heat and UV age sealants faster here than in milder climates. Joints should be inspected regularly and replaced as soon as they harden, crack or lose adhesion — before water starts getting in behind them.

Usually the wrong sealant for the movement, no backer rod, or a joint that is too narrow or too deep. We fix the joint design, not just the sealant.

Every rain makes a leak worse. Fix it properly, once.
