About our floor joint sealing in Old Town
We have been sealing commercial joints since 2005. Applicators carry CSCS cards and work to your site rules, and the business is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance in place. Finished floor joints in Old Town carry our 12-month guarantee. We work on construction joints, loading bays and retail and showroom floors, and the failures we are asked to look at most are brittle joint filler breaking up and grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor. For commercial sealant work in Old Town, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
London’s floor joints are concentrated in warehouses and trade units, car parks, podiums and decks. Planning a job in Old Town means thinking about access, loading times and the ULEZ as well as the joints.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Why deal with it now?
Not every joint needs stripping out completely. If old material is sound on one face and only a fine gap has opened, it may not all have to come out and the quote shows which approach suits each run. In Old Town, 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.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

On site: what to expect
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we’re cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. For a job in Old Town, access comes first. Give us the hours we can be on site and we will schedule to suit.
- First comes a walk of the floor to record joint sizes, broken edges and traffic routes.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and the phasing set out.
- We remove failed material and packed debris until sound concrete is exposed on both faces.
- Dust is extracted from the joint and primer applied where the manufacturer specifies it.
- We fill each joint to depth and finish it flush so wheels roll straight across.
- The area is handed back once it has cured enough to take traffic.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

FAQs: Old Town
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Croydon University Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can you work in a London building with booked loading and goods-lift slots?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we’ll plan accordingly. We allow for the ULEZ, which covers every borough
Do you repair broken joint edges?
We check the edges as part of the survey. Damaged edges are flagged up front so the filling isn’t wasted.
Can the warehouse stay open while you work?
We phase it. We work aisle by aisle or zone by zone so the rest of the floor stays in use around the site hours and access windows you give us.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Do you work in Old Town?
Yes. We take on work across Old Town.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
Commercial clients in Old Town
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Old Town
Joints near dock doors see colder air, rain blown in and water off vehicles on top of the heaviest turning movements. That is typically where joint failure starts.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Dock area joints that have failed first
- Trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints
- Unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
A healthcare site such as Croydon University Hospital (to the north of Old Town) depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.
What your quote should include
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
How the quote is worked out
These are the things that shape the price:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Any access equipment needed
- The total length or number of joints
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you’re ready.
Details that help us quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The postcode of the building
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Clear photos of the problem areas
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we’ll return a fixed quote you can plan around. For a chat about it beforehand, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

Schools like The Minster Nursery and Infant School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly. At places like Progress Business Park, 0.7 miles west of Old Town, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.
