Common questions from Nunhead clients
Will you take on work at estates like Goose Green Trading Estate, close to Nunhead?
Yes. We cover Nunhead and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Goose Green Trading Estate. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like University Hospital Lewisham, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Do you cover Nunhead?
Yes. Nunhead falls within our area, and you can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to get started.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, but the work normally 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 will give you a timescale with the quote.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Should floor joints be filled or sealed?
The answer comes from the traffic and the joint’s movement. Forklift routes generally call for a semi-rigid filler that holds the arrises and joints with more movement take a flexible sealant.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Nunhead
Few warehouses can shut a whole floor while joints are done, so the work is split into zones and treated one area at a time. Share your site hours and access windows and the programme is built around them, with goods still moving in the areas we aren’t in. We work on construction joints, 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 loading bay joints breaking down. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Nunhead is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Floor and movement joints in London take heavy use: car park decks, loading bays, shopping centre malls and podiums over occupied space. A failed joint lets water and debris in, and the edges soon spall, so it pays to act early.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

What the job involves on each surface
Construction joints
Day joints sit where one section of slab was cast against another. They can move more than saw cuts and that shapes the choice of filler or sealant.
Semi-rigid joint fillers
On industrial routes, a semi-rigid filler is often the right choice. They are installed to the depth the manufacturer specifies and finished flush.
Our process
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself usually takes anything from a day for one loading bay to several days for a large floor, split into phases, and we clear our waste as we work. Most London premises stay occupied while we are on site, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- A floor survey records every joint, its edges and what crosses it.
- The treatment and the zones are set out in a fixed quote.
- Each joint is cut or routed back to clean, sound concrete.
- 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.

Why it’s worth doing now in Nunhead
Waiting for a site-wide shutdown often means the joints keep getting worse. Phased in zones, the busiest routes can be treated first while the rest of the floor carries on. Access in London is hard enough to arrange once, so while access is arranged it pays to renew all failing joints, not just the worst.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Nunhead?
A soft, flexible sealant on a forklift route can’t hold the arrises up and the edges fail regardless. The opposite mistake happens as well: a stiff filler in a joint that keeps moving splits or comes away from the sides.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Loading bay joints breaking down
- Chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes
- Cracked and crumbling joint fill
- Drivers complaining about joints on a route
For an occupier at a site such as Goose Green Trading Estate, 0.9 miles to the west of Nunhead, the joints at loading doors and dock levellers usually see the hardest wear.

Maintenance after handover
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Keep grit out of unfilled joints in the meantime
- Tell us about strong cleaning chemicals before we quote
- Start with the dock areas, where joints fail soonest
- Remind operators to lift rather than drag
If a joint we filled starts to break up within 12 months, tell us and we’ll arrange a look. After that, a check before your busiest period keeps small repairs small.
Every vehicle on a busy aisle hits a damaged joint. Sorting it early looks after your equipment as well as the slab.
Should maintenance staff do it?
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, which is what makes a joint last.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
