Floor joint sealing for Holloway Down sites

Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Maintenance after handover

Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:

  • Hold traffic back until the product has cured
  • Walk the main routes and inspect joint lines on a regular cycle
  • Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
  • Keep grit out of unfilled joints in the meantime

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.

Every day an open joint stays full of grit, the edges take more punishment. Filling it ends that cycle while it is still a straightforward job.

About our floor joint sealing in Holloway Down

Before quoting, we look at what the floor is telling us: joint widths, whether the joints are still opening, what runs over them and how the edges have held up. That tells us whether semi-rigid filler or flexible sealant suits each run and the answer can differ from one zone to the next. We work on loading bays, forklift and pallet-truck routes and saw-cut induced joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are old filler gone hard, cracked or loose and untidy open joints in a retail unit. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Holloway Down, preparation and product choice get the time they need.

Areas such as a loading bay or car park deck in Holloway Down usually have to stay in use. We work through joints a section at a time, closing small areas in turn, at times agreed with the building manager.

We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Holloway Down

Holloway Down has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest. In London, decks, bays and service yards typically have to keep running, which is why we work a few bays at a time.

Schools such as The Jenny Hammond Primary School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook. Large sites such as Whipps Cross University Hospital, 1.6 miles north of Holloway Down, have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels.

Holloway Down is about 1 mile north of Stratford, in Greater London. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Holloway Down can call on us for floor joints, as part of our coverage of Greater London. Our Greater London coverage takes in 764 places. We also cover London, around 6 miles from Holloway Down.

Work on floor joints is covered throughout E11, E15 and E7. Buildings on Eve Road, Cary Road and Lynn Road are within our area for floor joints. Nearby places we also cover include East Village (1 mile south-west), Temple Mills (1 mile west), Maryland (1 mile south), Stratford (1 mile south) and Leyton (1 mile north-west) for floor joints. A short drive away, we cover London (6 miles south-west), City of Westminster (7 miles west), Marylebone (7 miles west), Kensington (10 miles south-west), St Pancras (6 miles west) and Shoreditch (4 miles south-west).

What we are called out for in Holloway Down

Small, hard wheels put a lot of load through a very small area. Where a joint is open, the wheel dips and strikes the far edge and those knocks chip the edge apart bit by bit.

Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:

  • Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
  • Cracked and crumbling joint fill
  • Untidy open joints in a retail unit
  • Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints

Business parks such as Acacia Business Centre (to the north-east of Holloway Down) have car parks, paved areas and long brick and panel elevations, all with movement joints.

Before you book anyone

  • Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
  • Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
  • How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
  • Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?

Questions to ask before you appoint anyone

How a job runs

Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.

  1. Each area is assessed for joint width, arris damage and the wheels that cross it.
  2. A fixed quote follows, listing the treatment for each area and the order of work.
  3. We remove failed material and packed debris until sound concrete is exposed on both faces.
  4. Dust is sucked out of the joint and a primer used if the product data sheet asks for one.
  5. Filler or sealant goes in to the right depth and is finished flush with the slab.
  6. The area is handed back once it has cured enough to take traffic.

Getting the site ready

  • Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
  • Tell us which areas need to stay in use
  • Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Advice

Commercial clients in Holloway Down

For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.

When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.

When it isn’t the sealant

Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:

  • Worn screed or surface finishes
  • Joint edges that have already broken away, which need repairing before filling (we’ll tell you if so)
  • Slab panels that rock or move under load

If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Joints and surfaces we work on

  • Joints along racking aisles
  • Forklift and pallet-truck routes
  • Saw-cut induced joints
  • Loading bays
  • Construction joints
  • Retail and showroom floors

Cost factors for floor joints

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The size and state of each joint
  • Location, for remote and island sites
  • Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
  • The product specified

Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Details that help us quote

There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:

  • Any specification or named product
  • How the joints are reached, and at what height
  • Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
  • The asbestos register, for older buildings

Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.

Common questions from Holloway Down clients

Is hospital work, at somewhere like Whipps Cross University Hospital, something you do?

Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.

Can you cope with the access rules in a London building?

Yes, most London buildings have access rules of some kind, and we plan around them. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we will plan accordingly.

Can you send site paperwork?

Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.

What information helps you price floor joint sealing?

A rough joint length, a few photos and a site plan let us give a quick quote. For larger floors, a site visit is often best so call 01277 525 020 or email us to set one up.

Are your applicators CSCS-carded?

Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.

Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?

Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.

Is colour matching possible?

It depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
