About our floor joint sealing in Coldharbour
Few warehouses can shut a whole floor while joints are done, 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. If you are dealing with open saw cuts full of debris and untidy open joints in a retail unit, we can put it right, whatever the surface. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Coldharbour, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
London’s floor joints are concentrated in warehouses and trade units, car parks, podiums and decks. Planning a job in Coldharbour means thinking about access, loading times and the ULEZ as well as the joints.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Surface by surface
Flexible floor sealants
Movement joints, joints at walls and joints in lightly trafficked areas often take a flexible sealant. Closed-cell backing rod goes in first, keeping the bead shallow and gripping only the two faces.
Semi-rigid joint fillers
A semi-rigid filler is stiff enough to hold the arrises up when wheels cross. They tolerate little movement, so they suit joints where most shrinkage has already happened.

CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
When to call us in Coldharbour
Loading bay joints are exposed to wind, wet tyres and bigger temperature swings, as well as the tightest turning loads. That is normally where joint failure starts.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Open saw cuts full of debris
- Grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor
- Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
- Old filler gone hard, cracked or loose
Large sites such as Eltham Community Hospital, 1.2 miles north of Coldharbour, have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels.
Before you book anyone
- What site paperwork they can supply
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
On site: what to expect
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Planning a London job such as one in Coldharbour starts with access: booked loading, goods lifts, the building’s permit system and a spot to keep materials. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
- First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.
- We point out joints whose edges need repairing first.
- We clear each run back to clean concrete.
- The chosen filler or sealant goes in flush with the slab.
- Each area is handed back when ready for traffic.
Before we start on site
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
Quotes
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

Questions we are asked in Coldharbour
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Eltham Community Hospital, something you do?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Coldharbour, such as Green Lane Business Park?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Coldharbour, Green Lane Business Park among them, are all within reach. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can the warehouse stay open while you work?
In most cases, just the area being treated is coned off. Traffic returns to each zone once it has cured, then we move to the next.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
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.
How long do sealant joints last?
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 inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
What guarantee do you give on joint filling?
Every job has our 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later slab movement or damage from impacts.
What sets the cost
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- The product specified
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Any access equipment needed
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Sending details for a quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The product your specification calls for
- The site address and postcode
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Leave it or put it right?
Broken joints shake trucks, stock and operators alike. Wheels and bearings wear faster and loads can shift, which nobody budgets for. A filled joint takes most of that out. Repeat call-outs disrupt occupied London buildings, so a proper job first time, with the old sealant fully removed, is worth it.
Pricing floor joints depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.
