How we handle floor joint sealing in Richmond
Sometimes the concrete either side of a joint has already spalled. Filling against a crumbled arris won’t hold for long, so if the edges need repair before any filling, we will say so and explain how it affects the programme. The enquiries we see most involve failing joints at loading bays and dock doors and joint fill separating from the concrete, on joints along racking aisles, forklift and pallet-truck routes and construction joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Richmond, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Around Richmond, as across London, joints are under constant load, from basement car parks and loading bays to podium decks and busy mall floors. A failed joint lets water and debris in, and the edges soon spall, so it pays to act early.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Why it’s worth doing now in Richmond
Some runs only need partial renewal or topping up. 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. 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.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

Keeping the joints sound
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Put loading bays at the top of the list
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
- Let us know what the floor is cleaned with
- Hold traffic back until the product has cured
Walk the main truck routes every few months and look along the joint lines. Look for separation down one side, new chips in the arris and debris gathering, and photograph anything that changes.
Edges tend to break slowly at first, then quickly. Each chip makes the drop deeper and the next impact harder, so it pays to act at the first signs.
From enquiry to sign-off
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work typically takes a day for smaller units, with bigger warehouse floors programmed over several visits. In Richmond, most buildings stay in use during the work, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- A floor survey records every joint, its edges and what crosses it.
- You receive a fixed quote showing products and phasing.
- Old fill and packed debris come out until both faces are sound.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
Getting a fixed quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Advice
How the quote is worked out
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- The total length or number of joints
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Access details, including height
- The postcode of the building
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- When you need the work done
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Questions about Richmond
Do you cover business parks and estates near Richmond, such as Ivybridge Retail Park?
Yes. Our area takes in Richmond and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Ivybridge Retail Park included. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
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
Is it normal for joint filler to separate?
It can be shrinkage, contamination on the joint faces or a product unsuited to the movement. We diagnose the cause before suggesting a fix.
Do you work in Richmond?
Yes. We cover Richmond and the rest of Greater London. To discuss a job, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
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.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
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 your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
Common problems we fix in Richmond
Oil, laitance, dust and old cleaning chemicals build up inside joints. 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:
- Brittle joint filler breaking up
- Drivers complaining about joints on a route
- Joint edges breaking up under truck wheels
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
Places like Ivybridge Retail Park (to the west of Richmond) put trolleys over floor joints inside and cars over slab joints outside.

Floors, slabs and movement joints in Richmond
Richmond 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. Few London car parks or loading bays can be taken out of use for more than a short spell, so we seal in sections and hand areas back as each cures.
Schools like The Vineyard School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly. At places like Twickenham Trading Estate (1.6 miles west of Richmond), joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.
Richmond is about 5 miles south-west of Kensington, in Greater London. Commercial clients in Richmond can call on us for floor joints. Richmond is one of 764 places we cover in Greater London for floor joints. For work in that direction, see our London page, about 9 miles away.

When to bring in a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
