When something else is needed
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Spalled arrises, which need an edge repair first
- Slab panels that rock or move under load
- Level or flatness problems across the floor
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Loading bays
- Retail and showroom floors
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Construction joints
- Joints along racking aisles
How we handle floor joint sealing in Monkhams
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. From that we choose between a semi-rigid filler and a more flexible sealant and the answer can differ from one zone to the next. Site teams most often ask us about brittle joint filler breaking up and chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes, across saw-cut induced joints, forklift and pallet-truck routes and construction joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Monkhams is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Around Monkhams, as across London, joints are under constant load, from basement car parks and loading bays to podium decks and busy mall floors. When a joint fails, grit and water get in and the arrises start to break up.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

After the work
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
- Walk the main routes and inspect joint lines on a regular cycle
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
- Hold traffic back until the product has cured
On younger slabs, a fine line can open down one side of a filled joint as the concrete keeps shrinking. That is common and is typically dealt with by topping up once the slab has settled down.
Joints are easiest to look after when someone checks them regularly. A phased plan, worst routes first, spreads the work out so nothing is left to fail.
Questions we are asked in Monkhams
Do you take on jobs in Monkhams where loading and access are tightly controlled?
Yes, most London buildings have access rules of some kind, and we plan around them. The building manager’s rules go straight into our method.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like The Holly Private Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
Can you send site paperwork?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, but the work typically takes a day for smaller units, with bigger warehouse floors programmed over several visits. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
From enquiry to sign-off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. In Monkhams, most buildings stay in use during the work, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- A floor survey records every joint, its edges and what crosses it.
- The treatment and the zones are set out in a fixed quote.
- Old fill and packed debris come out until both faces are sound.
- We extract the dust and prime the faces if the product needs it.
- The joint is filled to its specified depth and trimmed level.
- Zones reopen once cured and the work moves on.
What we need from you
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Point out any areas we must not close

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.

Surface by surface
Construction joints
Construction joints, sometimes called day joints, mark where one pour ended and the next began. They often see more movement than sawn joints, and that shapes the product choice.
Isolation joints at walls and columns
Isolation joints separate the slab from walls, columns and plinths so it can move independently. A flexible product suits them better than a stiff filler.
