Keeping the joints sound
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
- Make joint checks part of your floor inspections
Young concrete carries on shrinking, so some fillers part slightly from one face. That is common and is normally dealt with by topping up once the slab has settled down in most cases.
A broken joint on a main route is crossed by every truck on that route. Early treatment protects wheels, loads and drivers as much as the floor.
Floor joint sealing in Mottingham
We work on warehouse aisles, dock areas, factory floors, retail units and showrooms. Pricing depends on the length of joint, how worn the edges are and when we can get in and the figure is fixed before work begins. We work on loading bays, forklift and pallet-truck routes and saw-cut induced joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor and soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Mottingham is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Most London buildings can’t shut a car park, loading bay or warehouse floor for long. Joints are done in sections, with bays coned off one after another, so the site keeps operating.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Mottingham
Floor joints collect dust, oil, curing compound and cleaning residue. If the faces aren’t taken back to clean concrete first the new filler can’t stay bonded.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- A rough ride across broken joints
- Joint fill separating from the concrete
- Open saw cuts full of debris
- Grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor
At a retail site such as The Mall, 2.3 miles to the south of Mottingham, trolleys, cages and cars run over floor and slab joints all day.
What your quote should include
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
Mottingham: questions and answers
Is Green Lane Business Park, near Mottingham, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Mottingham and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Green Lane Business Park included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can you work in a London building with booked loading and goods-lift slots?
Yes. Inductions, permits and timed loading are routine for us in London. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and our planning allows for it
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Is Mottingham in your area?
Yes. Sites across Mottingham are covered, and the same phone number covers every area.
What site paperwork can you supply?
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.
Do you guarantee industrial floor joints?
Every job has our 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later slab movement or damage from impacts.
How long before trucks can use the joints?
Cure times vary with the product and the conditions. You will get a reopening time for each area when we agree the phasing.
Surface by surface
Flexible floor sealants
Where joints move more, a flexible polyurethane floor sealant is often used. They don’t hold the arrises up as firmly as a semi-rigid fill so they are used where movement matters more than wheel load.
Loading bays and dock areas
We normally work through dock areas a few bays at a time so deliveries keep moving. Your site hours and access windows set the order.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.

What else we do in Mottingham
What sets the cost
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Access and working height
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Joint width, depth and condition
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Specification clauses that apply
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
On site: what to expect
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. If there’s a loading bay, a car park or a permit we can use, tell us when you send details.
- We walk the floor and mark up joint widths, edge damage and traffic routes.
- You receive a fixed quote showing products and phasing.
- Each joint is cut or routed back to clean, sound concrete.
- We extract the dust and prime the faces if the product needs it.
- Filler or sealant is placed to depth and finished flush.
- Zones reopen once cured and the work moves on.
What we need from you
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Confirm the product named in the specification
