What sealant work can’t fix
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Broken concrete either side of the joint
- A floor that is out of level for the racking or trucks
- Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on

- Loading bays

- Joints along racking aisles
- Saw-cut induced joints
Floor joint sealing in Cheam, done properly
Some joints reach us with their edges already broken. Filling against a crumbled arris won’t hold for long, so if the edges need repair before any filling, we will say so and explain how it affects the programme. Site teams most often ask us about cracked and crumbling joint fill and broken arrises where pallet trucks cross, on joints along racking aisles, saw-cut induced joints and retail and showroom floors. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Cheam, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
London’s floor joints are concentrated in warehouses and trade units, car parks, podiums and decks. In Cheam, as everywhere in London, access, loading and the ULEZ all come into the plan.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
When to bring in a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.

Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Cheam
Cheam has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment. Few London car parks or loading bays can be taken out of use for more than a short spell, so joints are sealed in sections with each area handed back once cured.
University campuses such as University for the Creative Arts - Epsom, 2.6 miles to the south-west of Cheam, have car parks, paved walkways and building elevations with movement joints. Hospitals like Royal Marsden Hospital (0.9 miles east of Cheam) have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock.

FAQs: Cheam
Do you take on jobs in Cheam where loading and access are tightly controlled?
Yes. Booked loading bays, goods lifts and permit-to-work systems are normal for London jobs. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Royal Marsden Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
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’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Why has the filler pulled away from one side?
On newer slabs, the concrete keeps shrinking after the joints are filled, so a semi-rigid filler can part from one face. It is normally dealt with by topping up.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Cheam
Older fills harden, shrink and crack with age, particularly where cleaning machines and traffic work it daily. At that point it neither holds the edges nor keeps debris out.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
- Dock area joints that have failed first
- Flexible sealant torn out by wheels
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
For an occupier at a site such as Kimpton Industrial Park, 2 miles north of Cheam, the joints at loading doors and dock levellers usually see the hardest wear.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- The size and state of each joint
- The site’s rules and procedures
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Specification clauses that apply
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- What the building is and how it’s used
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. For a job in Cheam, access comes first. Give us the hours we can be on site and we’ll schedule to suit.
- We walk the floor and mark up joint widths, edge damage and traffic routes.
- The treatment and the zones are set out in a fixed quote.
- Each joint is cut or routed back to clean, sound concrete.
- We extract the dust and prime the faces if the product needs it.
- The joint is filled to its specified depth and trimmed level.
- Zones reopen once cured and the work moves on.
Preparing the site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
