From enquiry to sign-off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Smaller jobs around Sulham can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- First comes a walk of the floor to record joint sizes, broken edges and traffic routes.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and the phasing set out.
- Old filler, debris and contamination are cut or routed out back to clean concrete.
- We vacuum each run and prime it if the chosen product requires a primer.
- The chosen product is placed to its specified depth and trimmed level with the floor.
- We tell you when each zone can carry trucks again and move on to the next.
What we need from you

- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Getting a fixed quote
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Advice
Floor joint sealing in Sulham, done properly
It isn’t only heavy industry. Retail units, showrooms and trade counters have slab joints crossed by trolleys, footfall and cleaning machines, and an open, grimy joint line looks poor as well as catching wheels. A neat, flush fill makes the floor easier to clean and look after. If you have unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit and trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints, we can help, whatever the surface. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Sulham it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Sulham have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.

Your questions answered
Will you take on work at estates like Turnhams Green Business Park, close to Sulham?
Yes. Our area takes in Sulham and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Turnhams Green Business Park included. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Would you work within a site like Prospect Park Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Can you fill joints where the arrises have spalled?
Edge condition is recorded when we look at the floor. Where they have broken away, we will tell you before quoting the filling so the filling isn’t wasted.
How long before trucks can use the joints?
The wait is set by the product’s cure time, and cold floors slow it down. Phasing is planned with that in mind.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Worn screed or surface finishes
- Slab panels that rock or move under load
- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Retail and showroom floors
- Construction joints
- Joints along racking aisles
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Loading bays
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
After the work
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
Keep traffic off fresh joints until the time we give you, and it’s worth enforcing. In a busy building, barriers keep early traffic away.
A broken joint on a main route is crossed by every truck on that route. Early treatment protects wheels, loads and drivers as much as the floor.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Sulham?
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 stiff filler in a joint that keeps moving splits or comes away from the sides.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Cracked and crumbling joint fill
- Joint fill separating from the concrete
- Scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor
- A rough ride across broken joints
Office parks like Turnhams Green Business Park (to the south of Sulham) have decks, ramps and clad elevations whose joints take movement every day.

Why act early in Sulham
While the arrises are intact, filling a joint is straightforward. Left until they break, it needs an edge repair before any filling can start, with longer closures to match. Halls, stores and units around places like Sulham may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
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.
