- Location, for remote and island sites
- Working within restricted access windows

Labour-in-vain: questions and answers
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Sevenoaks Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is Labour-in-vain too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Should floor joints be filled or sealed?
There isn’t one answer for a whole floor. Where hard wheels cross, a semi-rigid filler is usually right and perimeter or movement joints need flexibility. The quote sets out what goes where.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
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.
Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
- Keep photographs of joints that look like they’re failing
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
- Tell us about strong cleaning chemicals before we quote
Normal floor cleaning is fine once the product has cured. Tell us about aggressive cleaning products or hot washing at quote stage so we choose something that tolerates them.
Joint damage starts slowly and then speeds up. Each chip makes the drop deeper and the next impact harder, so it pays to act at the first signs.
From enquiry to sign-off
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Rural sites near Labour-in-vain may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.
- Any joints with broken edges are flagged before work starts.
- Failed material and debris are removed and the joint cleaned.
- We fill the joints with the agreed product, finished level.
- Each area is handed back when ready for traffic.
Preparing the site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in

Advice
When to bring in a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
