How a job runs
We follow your site rules from the start: 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, and each area is checked before we leave it. Planning a London job such as one in St Paul's Cray starts with access: booked loading, goods lifts, the building’s permit system and a spot to keep materials. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
- We walk the floor and mark up joint widths, edge damage and traffic routes.
- You receive a fixed quote showing products and phasing.
- Each joint is cut or routed back to clean, sound concrete.
- Dust is vacuumed out and primer applied where specified.
- Filler or sealant is placed to depth and finished flush.
- We hand each phase back when it can take traffic.
Before we start on site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

About our floor joint sealing in St Paul's Cray
We work on warehouse aisles, dock areas, factory floors, retail units and showrooms. Each job is priced from the metres of joint, their condition and the access windows we get and the figure is fixed before work begins. We work on joints along racking aisles, saw-cut induced joints and construction joints, and what we’re called in for most is grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor and brittle joint filler breaking up. A single leaking joint is often how a building in St Paul's Cray first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Distribution and trade units on London’s edges, and deck car parks across the city, hold most of its floor and slab joints. Planning a job in St Paul's Cray means thinking about access, loading times and the ULEZ as well as the joints.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Your questions answered
Can you work on a hospital site such as Queen Mary's Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
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. The building manager’s rules go straight into our method.
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.
Can you fill joints where the arrises have spalled?
Filling against broken edges doesn’t last. We’ll tell you if the joint edges need repairing first, so you can decide how to proceed.
Why has the filler pulled away from one side?
Young concrete carries on shrinking for a long time, so a semi-rigid filler can part from one face. A top-up normally puts it right.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit typically takes between a day and a number of days, set by the joint lengths, the edge condition and the phasing you need. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
When can forklifts run over new joint filler?
Cure times vary with the product and the conditions. We will give you a time for each zone before we start.
Traffic, movement and joints around St Paul's Cray
The 3 miles around St Paul's Cray 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. Few London car parks or loading bays can be taken out of use for more than a short spell, which is why we work a few bays at a time.
A campus such as University of Greenwich Avery Hill Campus, 3.4 miles to the north of St Paul's Cray, has long runs of movement joint in its buildings, decks and paving. Large sites such as Queen Mary's Hospital (1.3 miles north of St Paul's Cray) have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels. Schools like Leesons Primary School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.

What happens if it’s left?
An open joint is a modest filling job while its edges are sound. Left until they break, it needs an edge repair before any filling can start, with longer closures to match. Access in London is hard enough to arrange once, so it makes sense to deal with every failing joint while access is in place.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
- Keep photographs of joints that look like they’re failing
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
Once cured, the joints get cleaned along with the slab. If you use strong chemicals or hot-water washing, mention it when we quote so the product suits them.
Joints are easiest to look after when someone checks them regularly. We can quote a programme that starts with the busiest areas so nothing is left to fail.

Surface by surface
Loading bays and dock areas
Loading bays combine the heaviest turning loads with wet tyres and cold air from open doors. These are often the first joints on site to break down, so they are often the place to start.
Isolation joints at walls and columns
Perimeter and column joints get forgotten, and they collect dust and debris. We include them in the survey.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
