Should maintenance staff do it?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, 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.
Floor joint sealing in Southfields, done properly
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. We work on joints along racking aisles, retail and showroom floors and construction joints, and what we are called in for most is chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes and flexible sealant torn out by wheels. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Southfields is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Areas such as a loading bay or car park deck in Southfields usually have to stay in use. We work through joints a section at a time, closing small areas in turn.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

How the job changes by surface
Saw-cut induced joints
Induced joints are sawn into a new slab to control where it cracks. They start narrow and widen as the concrete dries so trafficked runs need a filler that holds the arrises.
Loading bays and dock areas
At loading bays, product choice has to suit the loads, the temperature and the wet. Phasing is planned around your delivery schedule.
Floor joint sealing around Southfields: points for this area
The 3 miles around Southfields take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest. In London, decks, bays and service yards normally have to keep running, so we seal in sections and hand areas back as each cures.
Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Garratt Business Park (1 mile south of Southfields): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time. On a site such as Rufus Business Centre, 0.5 miles south of Southfields, the movement joints are in car park slabs, paving and building elevations. Centres like Priory Retail Park, 2.2 miles to the south of Southfields, have mall floors and service decks whose joints carry steady traffic.
Southfields is about 2 miles north-east of Wimbledon, in Greater London. Commercial clients in Southfields use us for work on floor joints. 764 places across Greater London fall within our area, Southfields among them. For work in that direction, see our London page.

Quoting for work in Southfields
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Any access equipment needed
- Phasing around occupants
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
A quote for floor joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you’re working to. Call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- The type of building and who uses it
- The site address and postcode
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
On site: what to expect
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. Most London premises stay occupied while we are on site, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- Each area is assessed for joint width, arris damage and the wheels that cross it.
- A fixed quote follows, listing the treatment for each area and the order of work.
- Old filler, debris and contamination are cut or routed out back to clean concrete.
- Dust is extracted from the joint and primer applied where the manufacturer specifies it.
- Filler or sealant goes in to the right depth and is finished flush with the slab.
- The area is handed back once it has cured enough to take traffic.
Before we start on site
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
Quotes
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.

After the work
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
- Make joint checks part of your floor inspections
- Hold traffic back until the product has cured
- Keep photographs of joints that look like they’re failing
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.
Every day an open joint stays full of grit, the edges take more punishment. Getting it filled stops the damage before it becomes a repair.
FAQs: Southfields
Can you cope with the access rules in a London building?
Yes, most London buildings have access rules of some kind, and we plan around them. Share the building’s contractor rules and we will work to them. We allow for the ULEZ, which covers every borough
Is a hospital such as Royal Hospital for Neuro-Disability somewhere you can work?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Do you guarantee industrial floor joints?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and the work is covered by public liability insurance.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit usually takes a day for smaller units, with bigger warehouse floors programmed over several visits. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Why is there a gap next to the joint filler?
Separation usually comes from slab shrinkage, poor preparation or the wrong product. We look at which it is before recommending anything.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
What sealant work can’t fix
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Worn screed or surface finishes
- Level or flatness problems across the floor
- Cracks across panels caused by settlement or overload
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly.
