Floor joint sealing for commercial buildings in Swiss Cottage
We have been sealing commercial joints since 2005. Applicators carry CSCS cards and work to your site rules, and the business is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member holding public liability insurance. Completed joints come with a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Most enquiries involve trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints and a gap opening alongside old joint filler, across loading bays, joints along racking aisles and construction joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Swiss Cottage it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
London’s floor joints are concentrated in warehouses and trade units, car parks, podiums and decks. In Swiss Cottage, as everywhere in London, access, loading and the ULEZ all come into the plan.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

When to call us in Swiss Cottage
Floor joints collect dust, oil, curing compound and cleaning residue. Without cutting back to sound, clean concrete, the new material simply lifts out.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
- Joint fill separating from the concrete
- Chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes
- Cracked and crumbling joint fill
At a retail site such as O2 Centre (0.5 miles north-west of Swiss Cottage), trolleys, cages and cars run over floor and slab joints all day.
What your quote should include
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
Doing it in-house
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Swiss Cottage: questions and answers
Can you work in a London building with booked loading and goods-lift slots?
Yes, most London buildings have access rules of some kind, and we plan around them. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
Can you work at a site such as Regis Road Business Park, by Swiss Cottage?
Yes, sites like Regis Road Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Swiss Cottage. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Why has the filler pulled away from one side?
It can be shrinkage, contamination on the joint faces or a product unsuited to the movement. We look at which it is before recommending anything.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.
What guarantee do you give on joint filling?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we hold public liability insurance.
How soon can traffic go back on the floor?
Cure times vary with the product and the conditions. You’ll get a reopening time for each area before we start.
Can the warehouse stay open while you work?
Usually only the zone we’re working in has to close. Traffic returns to each zone once it has cured and the next zone follows.
Cost factors for floor joints
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Any access equipment needed
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How much there is to seal
Pricing floor joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you are working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.
What we need to price the job
We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- The site address and postcode
- The type of building and who uses it
- Any dates the work must fit around
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with what you know.
On site: what to expect
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. 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. Planning a London job such as one in Swiss Cottage 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.
- The treatment and the zones are set out in a fixed quote.
- Old fill and packed debris come out until both faces are sound.
- We extract the dust and prime the faces if the product needs it.
- The joint is filled to its specified depth and trimmed level.
- Zones reopen once cured and the work moves on.
Before we start on site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Let us know about inductions and permits
Getting a fixed quote
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Advice
Why act early in Swiss Cottage
Tape, or whatever sealant is in the stores cupboard, may look like a fix for a while. Neither is made to carry wheels and traffic soon pulls it out. A product chosen for the traffic and movement does the job once. In Swiss Cottage, each extra visit means more notices, permits and disruption, so cutting the old sealant out fully and doing it right once is the better route.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

Where floor joints take the most wear near Swiss Cottage
In London, decks, bays and service yards usually have to keep running, so the work is broken into short sections agreed with the building manager. The 3 miles around Swiss Cottage 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.
Across sites such as The Quadrant Business Centre, 1.5 miles west of Swiss Cottage, floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working. On a site such as Regis Road Business Park, which lies north-east of Swiss Cottage, the movement joints are in car park slabs, paving and building elevations.
