Floor joint sealing for Shirley sites
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
From enquiry to sign-off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. All of Greater London is in the ULEZ, and kerbside space in Shirley can be scarce. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- A floor survey records every joint, its edges and what crosses it.
- The treatment and the zones are set out in a fixed quote.
- Each joint is cut or routed back to clean, sound concrete.
- We extract the dust and prime the faces if the product needs it.
- The joint is filled to its specified depth and trimmed level.
- We hand each phase back when it can take traffic.
Getting the site ready
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Confirm the product named in the specification
Ask for a quote
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.

How we handle floor joint sealing in Shirley
For sites in Shirley and across Greater London, the process is short: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Approximate joint lengths, a few photographs and a floor plan are enough for a quick quote and a visit can be arranged where that is easier. We work on joints along racking aisles, loading bays and saw-cut induced joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are old filler gone hard, cracked or loose and dock area joints that have failed first.

How the job changes by surface
Semi-rigid joint fillers
A semi-rigid fill can separate along one side while a slab is still shrinking. A later top-up usually puts that right, and we’ll explain it when we quote.
Flexible floor sealants
Polyurethane sealants suit floor joints with larger movement. They don’t hold the arrises up as firmly as a semi-rigid fill so they are used where movement matters more than wheel load.
Floor joint sealing in Shirley: the local picture
London car parks, loading bays and podium decks often can’t close for long, so joints are sealed in sections with each area handed back once cured. Less than 3 miles from Shirley there are at least three named estates and business parks. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest.
Retail centres such as Whitgift Centre (to the west of Shirley) have floors, service yards and car parks with joints under constant traffic. Schools such as Oasis Academy Shirley Park have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook. For an estate such as Shirley Oaks Hospital, which lies north-west of Shirley, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.
Shirley is about 2 miles north-east of Croydon, in Greater London.

Questions about Shirley
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. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and our planning allows for it
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Shirley Oaks Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically takes anything from a day for one loading bay to several days for a large floor, split into phases. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Do you guarantee industrial floor joints?
Every job has our 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later slab movement or damage from impacts.
How do we get a quote for floor joints?
A rough joint length, a few photographs and a site plan let us give a quick quote. We can visit where that helps, and you can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email to arrange it.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
Doing it in-house
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
What happens if it’s left?
An open joint is a modest filling job while its edges are sound. Wait until the edges have spalled and the concrete needs repairing before the joint can be filled, with longer closures to match. In Shirley, each extra visit means more notices, permits and disruption, so a proper job first time, with the old sealant fully removed, is worth it.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
