What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- The product specified
- The total length or number of joints
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Whether the work must be split into stages
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Sending details for a quote
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Access details, including height
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
Floor joint sealing in West Heath, done properly
Open joints take a beating from forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Each crossing knocks the unsupported edge, and over time a neat cut turns into a ragged channel. A properly filled joint carries the wheel over and protects both arrises, which is kinder to trucks, loads and operators. The enquiries we see most involve sealant pulled out along a truck route and trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints, on joints along racking aisles, forklift and pallet-truck routes and construction joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in West Heath first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
London’s floor joints are concentrated in warehouses and trade units, car parks, podiums and decks. In West Heath, as everywhere in London, access, loading and the ULEZ all come into the plan.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Why act early in West Heath
While the arrises are intact, filling a joint is straightforward. Wait until the edges have spalled and the concrete needs repairing before the joint can be filled, with longer closures to match. Repeat call-outs disrupt occupied London buildings, so a proper job first time, with the old sealant fully removed, is worth it.
A quote for floor joints depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Start with the dock areas, where joints fail soonest
- Photograph any joint that starts to chip
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
- Let us know what the floor is cleaned with
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. A phased plan, worst routes first, spreads the work out and keeps on top of the rest.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. Most London premises stay occupied while we’re on site, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- We agree the traffic routes and phasing with your site team.
- Any joints with broken edges are flagged before work starts.
- Failed material and debris are removed and the joint cleaned.
- We fill the joints with the agreed product, finished level.
- Each area is handed back when ready for traffic.
Preparing the site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest.
Hospitals like Erith and District Hospital (1.8 miles east of West Heath) have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock. For buildings at a park such as Kencot Close Business Park (1.5 miles north-east of West Heath), brick and panel movement joints are easy to forget until one leaks.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
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.
Questions we are asked in West Heath
Do you take on jobs in West Heath where loading and access are tightly controlled?
Yes, most London buildings have access rules of some kind, and we plan around them. The building manager’s rules go straight into our method. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, which we allow for
Is Kencot Close Business Park, near West Heath, within your area?
Yes, sites like Kencot Close Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of West Heath. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, but the work normally takes a day for smaller units, with bigger warehouse floors programmed over several visits. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm 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.
Do you guarantee industrial floor joints?
A 12-month guarantee covers the work we do. It covers our workmanship, not later slab movement or damage from impacts.
Common problems we fix in West Heath
Joints near dock doors see colder air, rain blown in and water off vehicles on top of the heaviest turning movements. That is typically where joint failure starts.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- A rough ride across broken joints
- Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
- Scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor
- Old filler gone hard, cracked or loose
A campus such as University of Greenwich Avery Hill Campus, 2.9 miles to the south-west of West Heath, has long runs of movement joint in its buildings, decks and paving.
