Different surfaces, different methods
Saw-cut induced joints
Sawn joints make up most of the joint length in a typical industrial floor. Each one is cleaned out and filled to the specified depth, finishing flush with the slab.
Construction joints
Some construction joints have steel edge protection, others are plain concrete. If the edges look unsound, we will say so before any filling is done.
Floor joint sealing in Ivybridge
Open joints take a beating from forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Each crossing knocks the unsupported edge, and over time a neat cut turns into a ragged channel. A properly filled joint carries the wheel over and protects both arrises. It also smooths the route for drivers and stock. If you have drivers complaining about joints on a route and sealant pulled out along a truck route, we can help, whatever the surface. Whoever orders the work in Ivybridge, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Most London buildings can’t shut a car park, loading bay or warehouse floor for long. We work through joints a section at a time, closing small areas in turn.
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.

What else we do in Ivybridge
How a job runs
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. In Ivybridge, most buildings stay in use during the work, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- 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.
- Old fill and packed debris come out until both faces are sound.
- Dust is vacuumed out and primer applied where specified.
- The joint is filled to its specified depth and trimmed level.
- Zones reopen once cured and the work moves on.
Preparing the site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Send your site hours and access windows

Honest limits
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- 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
- Level or flatness problems across the floor
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Joints along racking aisles
- Retail and showroom floors
- Loading bays
- Construction joints
Why act early in Ivybridge
Tape, or whatever sealant is in the stores cupboard, may look like a fix for a while. None of it is designed for wheel loads and traffic soon pulls it out. The right filler or sealant saves doing it twice. Access in London is hard enough to arrange once, so while access is arranged it pays to renew all failing joints, not just the worst.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

Floor joint sealing in Ivybridge: the local picture
The 3 miles around Ivybridge take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints. London car parks, loading bays and podium decks often can’t close for long, which is why we work a few bays at a time.
In a school such as Chase Bridge Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. For estates staff at a university like University of London, 1 mile to the north of Ivybridge, building and paving joints are part of the planned maintenance list.
Ivybridge is about 1 mile south-east of Hounslow, in Greater London. Anywhere in TW7, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. We work across 764 places in Greater London, from busy centres to rural villages. London is covered too, some 11 miles away.
Commercial sites across TW7, TW1 and TW2 are covered for floor joints. For a building on Hall Road, Rugby Road and Mogden Lane or nearby, send details and we will quote for floor joints. Sites close to Ivybridge are covered too, including Hounslow (1 mile north-west), Woodlands (1 mile north), Twickenham (1 mile south), Isleworth (1 mile north-east) and St Margarets (1 mile east). A short drive away, we cover London (11 miles east), City of Westminster (9 miles north-east), Marylebone (9 miles north-east), Kensington (7 miles north-east), St Pancras (11 miles north-east) and Shoreditch (12 miles east).

Ivybridge: questions and answers
Is hospital work, at somewhere like West Middlesex Hospital, something you do?
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.
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes. Inductions, permits and timed loading are routine for us in London. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we will plan accordingly. We allow for the ULEZ, which covers every borough
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
Can you send site paperwork?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, 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.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Can you phase floor joint work around operations?
Typically only the zone we’re working in has to close. Each zone reopens when the product can take traffic, then we move to the next.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Ivybridge?
Unfilled joints soon pack with grit, shrink-wrap scraps and pallet splinters. That debris is hard and levers at the edges as wheels pass so the arrises break sooner.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes
- Unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit
- Scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
Across sites such as Ivybridge Retail Park (under half a mile east of Ivybridge), floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working.
What your quote should include
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Their public liability cover
