How the job changes by surface
Semi-rigid joint fillers
For trafficked warehouse joints, semi-rigid fillers are common. We place them to depth and trim them level with the slab.
Retail and showroom floors
Shop and showroom floors often have exposed slab joints, especially with polished or coated concrete. A flush, neat fill in a suitable colour keeps the floor looking right and confirm which colours the product comes in.
Floor joint sealing for commercial buildings in Avery Hill
Forklifts and pallet trucks are hard on open joints. Each crossing knocks the unsupported edge, and over time a neat cut turns into a ragged channel. A properly filled joint carries the wheel over and protects both arrises. It also smooths the route for drivers and stock. The enquiries we see most involve open saw cuts full of debris and cracked and crumbling joint fill, across retail and showroom floors, forklift and pallet-truck routes and joints along racking aisles. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Avery Hill from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Areas such as a loading bay or car park deck in Avery Hill normally have to stay in use. We work through joints a section at a time, closing small areas in turn.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Avery Hill?
A slab keeps shrinking for a long time after it is cast, and saw-cut joints give that shrinkage a planned place to crack. As the panels contract, the joints widen so a filler put in early may separate along one side.
Typical triggers for a call:
- A rough ride across broken joints
- Joint edges breaking up under truck wheels
- Old filler gone hard, cracked or loose
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
A campus such as University of Greenwich - Avery Hill (to the south of Avery Hill) has long runs of movement joint in its buildings, decks and paving.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards

Looking after the joints
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Start with the dock areas, where joints fail soonest
- Photograph any joint that starts to chip
- Expect fillers on young slabs to need a top-up
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
A routine walk of the busiest aisles shows how the joints are holding up. Watch for filler pulling away from an edge, fresh chipping or grit collecting and keep photos so changes are easy to compare.
Joint damage starts slowly and then speeds up. Each chip makes the drop deeper and the next impact harder, so it pays to act at the first signs.
How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- How accessible the joints are
- The total length or number of joints
- Phasing around occupants
- The size and state of each joint
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 fixed quote.
Sending details for a quote
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Any specification or named product
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- What the building is and how it’s used
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.

From enquiry to sign-off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. In Avery Hill, most buildings stay in use during the work, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.
- We point out joints whose edges need repairing first.
- Failed material and debris are removed and the joint cleaned.
- We fill the joints with the agreed product, finished level.
- You get a time for each zone to reopen.
Before we start on site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Advice
Questions about Avery Hill
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Eltham Community Hospital, something you do?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can you work at a site such as Green Lane Business Park, by Avery Hill?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Avery Hill, Green Lane Business Park among them, are all within reach. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Can you fill joints where the arrises have spalled?
A filler needs sound edges to grip. We’ll tell you if the joint edges need repairing first, so you can decide how to proceed.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
In many cases, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Which is better for warehouse joints, filler or sealant?
There isn’t one answer for a whole floor. Hard wheels need edge support, which points to a semi-rigid filler, and movement joints or perimeters need something flexible. The quote sets out what goes where.
