About our floor joint sealing in Merton
It isn’t only heavy industry. Retail units, showrooms and trade counters have slab joints crossed by trolleys, footfall and cleaning machines, and an open, grimy joint line looks poor as well as catching wheels. A flush, well-finished joint tidies the whole floor. We work on joints along racking aisles, saw-cut induced joints and forklift and pallet-truck routes, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are joint edges breaking up under truck wheels and joint fill separating from the concrete. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Merton first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Floor and movement joints in London take heavy use: car park decks, loading bays, shopping centre malls and podiums over occupied space. When a joint fails, grit and water get in and the arrises start to break up.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Joints that move: notes for Merton
Merton 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 normally have to keep running, so the work is broken into short sections agreed with the building manager.
At places like Lombard Business Park, under half a mile to the south of Merton, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on. Hospital campuses such as St George's Hospital, 1.1 miles north-east of Merton, grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old. A campus such as Kingston University Roehampton Vale Campus (to the north-west of Merton) has long runs of movement joint in its buildings, decks and paving.

Your questions answered
Can you work in a London building with booked loading and goods-lift slots?
Yes, most London buildings have access rules of some kind, and we plan around them. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, which we allow for
Will you take on work at estates like Nelson Trading Estate, close to Merton?
Yes. Our area takes in Merton and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Nelson Trading Estate included. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Is it normal for joint filler to separate?
Young concrete carries on shrinking for a long time, so a semi-rigid filler can part from one face. It is usually dealt with by topping up.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Why it’s worth doing now in Merton
Holding off until the whole floor can close can take a long time. Zone by zone, the worst aisles can be dealt with now and the remainder follows on a plan that suits you. In Merton, each extra visit means more notices, permits and disruption, so cutting the old sealant out fully and doing it right once is the better route.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Looking after the joints
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
- Keep grit out of unfilled joints in the meantime
- Expect fillers on young slabs to need a top-up
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. Getting it filled stops the damage while it is still a straightforward job.
General trades versus a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
How a job runs
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we’re in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Planning a London job such as one in Merton starts with access: booked loading, goods lifts, the building’s permit system and a spot to keep materials. Give us the hours we can be on site and we will schedule to suit.
- A floor survey records every joint, its edges and what crosses it.
- You receive a fixed quote showing products and phasing.
- 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.
- We hand each phase back when it can take traffic.
Preparing the site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Send your site hours and access windows
