How we handle floor joint sealing in Old Wives Lees
Floor joint sealing for us covers warehouse aisles, loading bays, production halls, retail floors and showroom slabs. Each job is priced from the metres of joint, their condition and the access windows we get, and the quote is fixed before we mobilise. If you are dealing with old filler gone hard, cracked or loose and saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit, we can help, on construction joints, retail and showroom floors and saw-cut induced joints alike. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Old Wives Lees is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Jobs around smaller places like Old Wives Lees are planned so the whole job is done in one visit. Tell us the joint widths if you can, and what drives or walks over them.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

Honest limits
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:

- Unstable slabs moving under traffic
- Spalled arrises, which need an edge repair first
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly.

What sets the cost
Before we quote, we look at:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- The total length or number of joints
- Any access equipment needed
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Before you send an enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- The product your specification calls for
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Our process
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we’re cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. Jobs in and around smaller places like Old Wives Lees are normally planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- 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.
- Each phase reopens when the product is ready for wheels, then we start the next.
Before we start on site
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
Ask for a quote
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over with what you know.
Related advice
Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
- Let us know what the floor is cleaned with
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
Problems inside the 12-month guarantee period are ours to put right. After that, a check before your busiest period keeps small repairs small.
While the concrete edges are intact, it’s a filling job. After the edges go, repairs come into it, with more downtime and more disruption.
Your questions answered
Is Old Wives Lees too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Eastbridge Hospital of St Thomas the Martyr?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
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 have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
How do we get a quote for floor joints?
Send details through our quote form or by email and tell us what runs on the floor. We then send a fixed quote with the product and phasing set out.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.

Saw-cut induced joints
Most of the joints in a warehouse floor are saw cuts. Each one is cleaned out and filled to the specified depth with a flush finish.
Semi-rigid joint fillers
On industrial routes, a semi-rigid filler is often the right choice. We place them to depth and trim them level with the slab.
