Floor joint sealing in Gunnersbury, done properly
Most industrial slabs are divided into panels by saw-cut joints and construction joints, and each joint line is a weak edge that wheels run over all day. We fill or seal them with a product matched to the traffic and the movement, so the arrises are supported and grit stays out. Site teams most often ask us about broken arrises where pallet trucks cross and a gap opening alongside old joint filler, on saw-cut induced joints, joints along racking aisles and forklift and pallet-truck routes. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Gunnersbury is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Distribution and trade units on London’s edges, and deck car parks across the city, hold most of its floor and slab joints. Planning a job in Gunnersbury means thinking about access, loading times and the ULEZ as well as the joints.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Gunnersbury as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

On site: what to expect
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Planning a London job such as one in Gunnersbury 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.
- We agree the traffic routes and phasing with your site team.
- We point out joints whose edges need repairing first.
- Failed material and debris are removed and the joint cleaned.
- The chosen filler or sealant goes in flush with the slab.
- You get a time for each zone to reopen.
What we need from you
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Loading bays and dock areas
At loading bays, product choice has to suit the loads, the temperature and the wet. Curing times also have to fit around deliveries.
Retail and showroom floors
Shop and showroom floors often have exposed slab joints, especially with polished or coated concrete. We aim for a tidy, flush finish that suits the floor and confirm which colours the product comes in.
After the work
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Expect fillers on young slabs to need a top-up
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
- Keep photos of joints that look like they’re failing
If a joint we filled starts to break up within 12 months, tell us and we will arrange a look. Beyond that, an inspection once or twice a year catches failing joints early.
While the concrete edges are intact, it’s a filling job. After the edges go, repairs come into it and that takes longer and closes areas for longer.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.

What we’re called out for in Gunnersbury
Older fills harden, shrink and crack with age especially under daily scrubbing and traffic. At that point it neither holds the edges nor keeps debris out.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Joint edges breaking up under truck wheels
- Untidy open joints in a retail unit
- Cracked and crumbling joint fill
- Unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit
Schools such as Strand-on-the-Green Junior School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.
What your quote should include
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Their public liability cover
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
Honest limits
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Unstable slabs moving under traffic
- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling
- Worn screed or surface finishes
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly.

Questions about Gunnersbury
Do you cover business parks and estates near Gunnersbury, such as Kew Retail Park?
Yes, sites like Kew Retail Park are within our area, along with the rest of Gunnersbury. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you work in a London building with booked loading and goods-lift slots?
Yes, most London buildings have access rules of some kind, and we plan around them. Share the building’s contractor rules and we will work to them. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, which we allow for
Which is better for warehouse joints, filler or sealant?
We decide joint by joint. Where hard wheels cross, a semi-rigid filler is normally right and perimeter or movement joints need flexibility. The quote sets out what goes where.
Can you fill joints where the arrises have spalled?
Edge condition is recorded when we look at the floor. Damaged edges are flagged up front so the filling isn’t wasted.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
