Questions about Capel Cross
Is Capel Cross too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Will our site in Capel Cross have to close for joint sealing?
In most cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
What happens if the joint edges are damaged?
Filling against broken edges doesn’t last. If the arrises have spalled, we’ll say they need repair before filling, so you can decide how to proceed.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. 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.
When can forklifts run over new joint filler?
Each product has its own cure time, and cold floors slow it down. Phasing is planned with that in mind.
Can the warehouse stay open while you work?
Usually only the zone we are working in has to close. Each zone reopens when the product can take traffic and the next zone follows.
Why has the filler pulled away from one side?
On newer slabs, the concrete keeps shrinking after the joints are filled and a stiff filler can separate down one side. It is usually dealt with by topping up.
Floor joint sealing in Capel Cross, done properly
We diagnose the floor first rather than guessing at a product: how wide the joints are, signs of ongoing movement, the wheel types crossing them and the state of the arrises. That tells us whether semi-rigid filler or flexible sealant suits each run, area by area where it needs to be. We work on construction joints, saw-cut induced joints and retail and showroom floors, and what we’re called in for most is dock area joints that have failed first and joint edges breaking up under truck wheels. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Capel Cross, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For a site near Capel Cross, measurements and photographs up front mean one trip where possible. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we will take it from there.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Cost factors for floor joints
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Which sealant the job calls for
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Before you send an enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Any specification or named product
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with what you know.
Different surfaces, different methods
Construction joints
Day joints sit where one section of slab was cast against another. They can move more than saw cuts and that shapes the choice of filler or sealant.
Loading bays and dock areas
Dock areas see tight turns, heavy loads and weather blowing in. These are often the first joints on site to break down so many programmes begin here.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. For work around Capel Cross, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.
- Any joints with broken edges are flagged before work starts.
- We clear each run back to clean concrete.
- 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
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
Ask for a quote
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
An open joint is a modest filling job while its edges are sound. Left until they break, it needs an edge repair before any filling can start which means more downtime in that zone. Around Capel Cross, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
