When to bring in a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Why act early in Lane End
While the arrises are intact, filling a joint is straightforward. Wait until the edges have spalled and the concrete needs repairing before the joint can be filled which means more downtime in that zone. Converted and older buildings near places like Lane End tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Structural cracking in the slab
- Level or flatness problems across the floor
- Worn screed or surface finishes
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on

- Construction joints
- Loading bays
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Inspect, seal, 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 the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Rural sites near Lane End may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- Each area is assessed for joint width, arris damage and the wheels that cross it.
- A fixed quote follows, listing the treatment for each area and the order of work.
- Old filler, debris and contamination are cut or routed out back to clean concrete.
- Dust is extracted from the joint and primer applied where the manufacturer specifies it.
- Filler or sealant goes in to the right depth and is finished flush with the slab.
- The area is handed back once it has cured enough to take traffic.
What we need from you
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
Getting a fixed quote
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us with what you know.

What sets the cost
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- The product specified
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Any access equipment needed
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
What we need to price the job
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- The type of building and who uses it
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.

Your questions answered
Is Lane End too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Does the sea air around Lane End change the choice of sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
How do we get a quote for floor joints?
Use our quote form, or email photographs and a plan, with the traffic on each area. We then send a fixed quote that shows the products and zones.
Will we need to close the floor?
We phase it. Areas are taken out of use a section at a time. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, but the work typically takes anything from a day for one loading bay to several days for a large floor, split into phases. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
Where floor joints take the most wear near Lane End
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Lane End. Open joints in coastal car parks and yards let in salt-laden water as well as grit, so it pays to keep them sealed. Lane End sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.
At places like Triangle Shopping Centre (2 miles south-east of Lane End), joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on. In a school such as Kirby Primary Academy, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. Warehouse floors on estates like Rice Bridge Industrial Estate (1.9 miles west of Lane End) carry pallet trucks and forklifts over every saw-cut joint.

What the job involves on each surface
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Open route joints are hard on equipment and drivers. Filling them gives a smoother run and protects the floor.
Isolation joints at walls and columns
Isolation joints separate the slab from walls, columns and plinths so it can move independently. Something flexible normally suits them, not a stiff filler.
