Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Structural cracking in the slab
- Spalled arrises, which need an edge repair first
- Unstable slabs moving under traffic
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly.

Floor joint sealing in South Bank
Not every floor joint we treat is in a warehouse. Shops, showrooms and trade counters have joints that take trolleys, foot traffic and scrubber-driers, where a gappy, dirty joint looks untidy and snags castors. A flush, well-finished joint tidies the whole floor. We work on construction joints, joints along racking aisles and retail and showroom floors, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are flexible sealant torn out by wheels and chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes. A single leaking joint is often how a building in South Bank first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Around South Bank, as across London, joints are under constant load, from basement car parks and loading bays to podium decks and busy mall floors. When a joint fails, grit and water get in and the arrises start to break up.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

What else we do in South Bank
Diagnose, treat, sign off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. In South Bank, most buildings stay in use during the work, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.
- We point out joints whose edges need repairing first.
- Failed material and debris are removed and the joint cleaned.
- We fill the joints with the agreed product, finished level.
- Each area is handed back when ready for traffic.
Getting the site ready
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Move anything stored against the joints
Request a quote
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Advice
Common problems we fix in South Bank
Soft sealant in a heavily trafficked joint gives the edges little support, so the concrete still breaks beside it. The opposite mistake happens as well: a rigid fill in a joint that is still opening cracks or debonds.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Dock area joints that have failed first
- Chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes
- Joint fill separating from the concrete
- Trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints
A healthcare site such as St Thomas' Hospital (to the south of South Bank) depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Proof of insurance
What sets the cost
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- The site address and postcode
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The type of building and who uses it
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Questions we are asked in South Bank
Can you work on a hospital site such as St Thomas' 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.
Is Grand Vitesse Industrial Estate, near South Bank, within your area?
Yes, sites like Grand Vitesse Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of South Bank. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
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.
How do we get a quote for floor joints?
Approximate metres of joint, photos of typical and worst areas, and a floor plan are usually enough for a quick quote. We can visit where that helps, and you can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to arrange it.
How long before trucks can use the joints?
Cure times vary with the product and how cold the slab is. You will get a reopening time for each area when we agree the phasing.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
Can the warehouse stay open while you work?
Normally only the zone we’re working in has to close. Traffic returns to each zone once it has cured and the next zone follows.
What happens if it’s left?
A floor coating laid over open joints soon cracks along the joint lines. Joints need their own treatment, whether or not the floor is coated. In a London building, a failed joint rarely affects only one party. Dealing with it early is simpler for everyone.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What you get with us
- Clear, fixed quotes
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months
