Your questions answered
Does your area include sites such as Ullswater Industrial Estate, near Purley?
Yes. Our area takes in Purley and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Ullswater Industrial Estate included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Purley War Memorial Hospital, 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.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Is Purley in your area?
Yes. We take on work across Purley, and the same phone number covers every area.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Floor joint sealing in Purley
Before quoting, we look at what the floor is telling us: how wide the joints are, signs of ongoing movement, the wheel types crossing them and the state of the arrises. That tells us whether semi-rigid filler or flexible sealant suits each run, area by area where it needs to be. We work on construction joints, loading bays and forklift and pallet-truck routes, and what we are called in for most is loading bay joints breaking down and chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Purley, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
London’s floor joints are concentrated in warehouses and trade units, car parks, podiums and decks. In Purley, as everywhere in London, access, loading and the ULEZ all come into the plan.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

From enquiry to sign-off
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we are cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. Planning a London job such as one in Purley starts with access. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
- Each area is assessed for joint width, arris damage and the wheels that cross it.
- 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 sucked out of the joint and a primer used if the product data sheet asks for one.
- Filler or sealant goes in to the right depth and is finished flush with the slab.
- We tell you when each zone can carry trucks again and move on to the next.
Getting the site ready

- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Floor joint sealing around Purley: points for this area
Basement car parks and service yards in London tend to be in use all working day, which is why we work a few bays at a time. Purley has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest.
On industrial estates such as Ullswater Industrial Estate (1.4 miles south-west of Purley), saw-cut floor joints, loading bay slabs and yard joints take the heaviest traffic. Large sites such as Purley War Memorial Hospital (to the north-east of Purley) have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels.
Purley is about 2 miles south-west of Croydon, in Greater London. We cover Purley, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. 764 places across Greater London fall within our area, Purley among them. We also cover London, around 11 miles from Purley.

What the job involves on each surface
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Truck routes take traffic all day and the joints on them break down first. Semi-rigid fillers are widely used on these routes to hold the edges up.
Flexible floor sealants
Movement joints, joints at walls and joints in lightly trafficked areas often take a flexible sealant. Closed-cell backing rod goes in first, keeping the bead shallow and gripping only the two faces.
Common problems we fix in Purley
Oil, laitance, dust and old cleaning chemicals build up inside joints. If the faces aren’t taken back to clean concrete first, the new material simply lifts out.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Drivers complaining about joints on a route
- Flexible sealant torn out by wheels
- Old filler gone hard, cracked or loose
- Filler that has parted from one face
Retail centres such as Whitgift Centre, 2.8 miles to the north of Purley, have floors, service yards and car parks with joints under constant traffic.
What your quote should include
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
