General trades versus a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Floor joint sealing for commercial buildings in Welling
Sometimes the concrete either side of a joint has already spalled. A filler laid against broken edges has nothing sound to grip, so if the edges need repair before any filling, we will say so and explain how it affects the programme. We work on loading bays, forklift and pallet-truck routes and saw-cut induced joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor and old filler gone hard, cracked or loose. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Welling, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Areas such as a loading bay or car park deck in Welling usually have to stay in use. We work through joints a section at a time, closing small areas in turn, at times agreed with the building manager.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

When to call us in Welling
An ageing filler or sealant can go brittle and split especially under daily scrubbing and traffic. At that point it neither holds the edges nor keeps debris out.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Joint edges breaking up under truck wheels
- Cracked and crumbling joint fill
- Loading bay joints breaking down
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
At places like Gateway Business Centre, 2.5 miles to the north-west of Welling, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.
What your quote should include
- Who will actually carry out the work
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- The named product and why it was chosen
What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling
- Worn screed or surface finishes
- Structural cracking in the slab
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Welling: questions and answers
Can you cope with the access rules in a London building?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we’ll plan accordingly.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Memorial Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
What happens if the joint edges are damaged?
Filling against broken edges doesn’t last. If the arrises have spalled, we will say they need repair before filling and set out how that affects the job.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
That depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
What affects the price in Welling
These are the things that shape the price:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- How accessible the joints are
- The total length or number of joints
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
What we need to price the job
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Specification clauses that apply
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
To get a fixed quote, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the site address and an outline of the work. You can also send details through our quote form.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. All of Greater London is in the ULEZ, and kerbside space in Welling can be scarce. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- 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.
- We remove failed material and packed debris until sound concrete is exposed on both faces.
- We vacuum each run and prime it if the chosen product requires a primer.
- We fill each joint to depth and finish it flush so wheels roll straight across.
- We tell you when each zone can carry trucks again and move on to the next.
What we need from you
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
