How we handle floor joint sealing in Benhilton
Few warehouses can shut a whole floor while joints are done, so we phase the work aisle by aisle or bay by bay. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them, with goods still moving in the areas we aren’t in. Most enquiries involve soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints and untidy open joints in a retail unit, on construction joints, joints along racking aisles and saw-cut induced joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Benhilton it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Areas such as a loading bay or car park deck in Benhilton typically have to stay in use. Joints are done in sections, with bays coned off one after another, so the site keeps operating.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, 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.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Benhilton: questions and answers
Can you work on a hospital site such as Queen Mary's Childrens' Hospital?
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 in a London building with booked loading and goods-lift slots?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
What information helps you price floor joint sealing?
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.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Will we need to close the floor?
Typically only the zone we’re working in has to close. Each zone reopens when the product can take traffic, then we move to the next.
Why deal with it now?
Every jolt over a broken joint passes into the truck, the load and the driver. That means extra wear on wheels and a rougher ride for staff, which nobody budgets for. A properly filled joint smooths the route. Failed sealant in a building in Benhilton can quickly affect neighbours, tenants or the floor below: water travels through shared structures, and a small leak becomes a dispute between occupiers. Dealing with it early is simpler for everyone.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Most London premises stay occupied while we are on site, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- We agree the traffic routes and phasing with your site team.
- Any joints with broken edges are flagged before work starts.
- Failed material and debris are removed and the joint cleaned.
- We fill the joints with the agreed product, finished level.
- Each area is handed back when ready for traffic.
Before we start on site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Advice
After the work
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
- Walk the main routes and inspect joint lines on a regular cycle
- Keep photos of joints that look like they’re failing
Walk the main truck routes every few months and look along the joint lines. Watch for filler pulling away from an edge, fresh chipping or grit collecting and keep photographs 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.
