Floor joint sealing in Temple, done properly
Most industrial slabs are divided into panels with saw cuts and day joints, and each joint line is a weak edge that wheels run over all day. Our job is to put the right filler or sealant into them for the loads and the movement they see so the edges are held up and debris can’t pack in. We work on loading bays, saw-cut induced joints and joints along racking aisles, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are loading bay joints breaking down and cracked and crumbling joint fill. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Temple it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Areas such as a loading bay or car park deck in Temple normally have to stay in use. Joints are done in sections, with bays coned off one after another, so the site keeps operating, at times agreed with the building manager.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Floor joint sealing around Temple: points for this area
In London, decks, bays and service yards normally have to keep running, so the work is broken into short sections agreed with the building manager. The 3 miles around Temple take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment.
Another example is Southwark Bridge Business Centre, 0.9 miles south-east of Temple, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers. University campuses such as King's College London (to the west of Temple) have car parks, paved walkways and building elevations with movement joints. At a retail site such as Brunswick Centre, which lies north-west of Temple, trolleys, cages and cars run over floor and slab joints all day.
Temple is about 1 mile south of St Pancras, in City of London. We cover Temple, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. We work across 7 places in City of London, large and small.
We cover the SE1, WC2H and WC2B postcode districts for floor joints. Streets here include Shoe Lane, Drury Lane and New Square, and sites on any of them can send details for a fixed quote. Temple sits on or close to the A4 and A40, useful when we plan access and materials. If your building is just outside Temple, we cover Temple Bar (1 mile north), Blackfriars (1 mile east), Aldwych (1 mile west), Clare Market (1 mile north-west) and Covent Garden (1 mile west).
Around Temple
Around Temple, our work takes us to commercial buildings near Mercers' School, The Devereux pub and Garden Bridge and the streets around them. Also close by are British Library of Political and Economic Science (under half a mile north-west), St Mary-at-Hill (1.2 miles east) and London Nautical School (under half a mile south). There’s a railway station in Temple itself: London Blackfriars station. A little further out are Montfichet's Tower (under half a mile east) and St Philip's Hospital (less than half a mile north-west). Green spaces nearby include Barnsbury Wood and Ludgate Hill.
Leave it or put it right?
Tape, or whatever sealant is in the stores cupboard, may look like a fix for a while. None of it is designed for wheel loads and traffic soon pulls it out. A product chosen for the traffic and movement does the job once. In Temple, each extra visit means more notices, permits and disruption, so a proper job first time, with the old sealant fully removed, is worth it.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.

Aftercare for building managers
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Walk the main routes and inspect joint lines on a regular cycle
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
Keep traffic off fresh joints until the time we give you and it pays to stick to it. In a busy building, barriers keep early traffic away.
Every day an open joint stays full of grit, the edges take more punishment. Filling it ends that cycle before it becomes a repair.

Your questions answered
Can you work on a hospital site such as St Bartholomew's Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes. Booked loading bays, goods lifts and permit-to-work systems are normal for London jobs. Share the building’s contractor rules and we will work to them. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and our planning allows for it
Should floor joints be filled or sealed?
It depends on the traffic and the movement. Forklift routes generally call for a semi-rigid filler that holds the arrises, while joints that move more take a flexible sealant.
Is colour matching possible?
It depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
What information helps you price floor joint sealing?
Use our quote form, or email photos and a plan, with the traffic on each area. A fixed quote follows with the product and phasing set out.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
What we can’t put right
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling
- Wide or random cracking that suggests a structural issue
- Joint edges that have already broken away, which need repairing before filling (we’ll tell you if so)
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Retail and showroom floors

For managing agents and facilities managers
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Temple can form part of a wider programme.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
From enquiry to sign-off
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. If there’s a loading bay, a car park or a permit we can use, tell us when you send details.
- First comes a walk of the floor to record joint sizes, broken edges and traffic routes.
- 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 sucked out of the joint and a primer used if the product data sheet asks for one.
- Filler or sealant goes in to the right depth and is finished flush with the slab.
- Each phase reopens when the product is ready for wheels, then we start the next.
Before we start on site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Doing it in-house
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
