Floor joint sealing across Old Coulsdon
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
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.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
Floor joint sealing in Old Coulsdon, done properly
Concrete floors in warehouses and factories are cut into bays by saw-cut joints and construction joints, and each joint line is a weak edge that wheels run over all day. We fill or seal them with a product matched to the traffic and the movement, so the arrises are supported and grit stays out. The enquiries we see most involve untidy open joints in a retail unit and a rough ride across broken joints, on loading bays, forklift and pallet-truck routes and construction joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Old Coulsdon it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Areas such as a loading bay or car park deck in Old Coulsdon usually have to stay in use. Joints are done in sections, with bays coned off one after another, so the site keeps operating, at times agreed with the building manager.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
What to include in your enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Access details, including height
- Any specification or named product
- Your programme or deadline
- Where the site is, with the postcode
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Common questions from Old Coulsdon clients
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. Share the building’s contractor rules and we’ll work to them. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and our planning allows for it
Does your area include sites such as Ullswater Industrial Estate, near Old Coulsdon?
Yes. We cover Old Coulsdon and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Ullswater Industrial Estate. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
How do we get a quote for floor joints?
Use our quote form, or email photographs and a plan and tell us what runs on the floor. A fixed quote follows that shows the products and zones.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you guarantee industrial floor joints?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee, and we hold public liability insurance.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Common problems we fix in Old Coulsdon
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.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Open saw cuts full of debris
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
- Untidy open joints in a retail unit
- Loading bay joints breaking down
For a school such as Keston Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.
What to look for in a quote
- How joint depth will be controlled
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
Our process
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, and the work typically takes a day for smaller units, with bigger warehouse floors programmed over several visits. Planning a London job such as one in Old Coulsdon 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’ll schedule to suit.
- 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.
- We hand each phase back when it can take traffic.
Before we start on site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
Ask for a quote
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
Related advice
Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Remind operators to lift rather than drag
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
- Tell us about strong cleaning chemicals before we quote
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets along the floor. Steel tines will mark a good joint over time if it keeps happening.
Every vehicle on a busy aisle hits a damaged joint. Sorting it early looks after your equipment as well as the slab.

Construction joints
Some construction joints have steel edge protection, others are plain concrete. If the edges look unsound, we’ll say so before any filling is done.
Retail and showroom floors
Polished and coated concrete floors in shops and showrooms show every joint. A flush, neat fill in a suitable colour keeps the floor looking right and confirm which colours the product comes in.
