Floor joint sealing in Greater London: how it works

A working floor can rarely be closed for days on end, so we phase the work aisle by aisle or bay by bay. Share your site hours and access windows and the programme is built around them, with goods still moving in the areas we aren’t in. The enquiries we see most involve unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit and joint fill separating from the concrete, on loading bays, saw-cut induced joints and construction joints.

On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself typically taking a day for smaller units, with bigger warehouse floors programmed over several visits.

  1. First comes a walk of the floor to record joint sizes, broken edges and traffic routes.
  2. A fixed quote follows, listing the treatment for each area and the order of work.
  3. Old filler, debris and contamination are cut or routed out back to clean concrete.
  4. We vacuum each run and prime it if the chosen product requires a primer.
  5. We fill each joint to depth and finish it flush so wheels roll straight across.
  6. Each phase reopens when the product is ready for wheels, then we start the next.

Floors, slabs and movement joints across Greater London

Across Greater London, warehouse floors, loading bays and car parks in places such as London, City of Westminster and Marylebone carry joints that take constant loads. The right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement.

We work across Greater London and the South East counties, and every job in Greater London starts with access, parking and site rules.

London: At a retail site such as Southernwood Retail Park, 1.1 miles south-east of London, trolleys, cages and cars run over floor and slab joints all day. Business parks such as Southwark Bridge Business Centre (less than half a mile north of London) have car parks, paved areas and long brick and panel elevations, all with movement joints.

When it isn’t the sealant

A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:

  • A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job
  • Slab panels that rock or move under load
  • A floor that is out of level for the racking or trucks

Common problems we fix in Greater London

Older fills harden, shrink and crack with age especially under daily scrubbing and traffic. At that point it neither holds the edges nor keeps debris out.

Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:

  • Old filler gone hard, cracked or loose
  • Open saw cuts full of debris
  • Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
  • Drivers complaining about joints on a route

Building owners, agents and FMs in Greater London

Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.

When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.

Cost factors for floor joints

Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:

  • Which sealant the job calls for
  • The total length or number of joints
  • Distance, for remote addresses
  • Joint width, depth and condition

There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

What we need to price the job

We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:

  • Clear photographs of the problem areas
  • Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
  • Specification clauses that apply
  • Where the site is, with the postcode

Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?

General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.

For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.

Common questions from Greater London clients

Which sealant will you use?

If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.

Do you guarantee industrial floor joints?

There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and the work is covered by public liability insurance.

How long does a job like this take?

We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.

What do you need from us to quote?

Send details through our quote form or by email, with the traffic on each area. A fixed quote follows with the product and phasing set out.

What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?

Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.

Are your applicators CSCS-carded?

Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.

Are you fully insured?

Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
