Why it’s worth doing now in Hobbs Cross
Waiting for a site-wide shutdown often means the joints keep getting worse. Zone by zone, the worst aisles can be dealt with now while the rest of the floor carries on. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Hobbs Cross, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Why us?
- Public liability insurance in place
- Work to your specification and the manufacturer’s guidance
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces

How we handle floor joint sealing in Hobbs Cross
A working floor can rarely be closed for days on end, so we phase the work aisle by aisle or bay by bay. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them, with goods still moving in the areas we aren’t in. Site teams most often ask us about drivers complaining about joints on a route and brittle joint filler breaking up, on retail and showroom floors, construction joints and loading bays. Most enquiries from Hobbs Cross start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
For a site near Hobbs Cross, measurements and photographs up front mean one trip where possible, with the right materials on hand. Tell us the joint widths if you can, and what drives or walks over them.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Questions about Hobbs Cross
Can you work on a hospital site such as Saint Margaret's Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Hobbs Cross too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Hobbs Cross is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Do you guarantee industrial floor joints?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee, and we hold public liability insurance.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Do you repair broken joint edges?
Edge condition is recorded when we look at the floor. Damaged edges are flagged up front, so nothing is filled that won’t hold.
How soon can traffic go back on the floor?
Cure times vary with the product and the conditions. You’ll get a reopening time for each area when we agree the phasing.
For managing agents and facilities managers
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
- Expect fillers on young slabs to need a top-up
Dragged forks and pallets gouge joints and edges alike. Even a well-filled joint can be damaged by steel scraping along it.
Every day an open joint stays full of grit, the edges take more punishment. Filling it ends that cycle before it becomes a repair.
What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- The product specified
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Access and working height
Pricing floor joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Details that help us quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- The product your specification calls for
- The type of building and who uses it
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
