After the work
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
- Make joint checks part of your floor inspections
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
- Start with the dock areas, where joints fail soonest
Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets along the floor. Steel tines will mark a good joint over time.
Every vehicle on a busy aisle hits a damaged joint. Early treatment protects wheels, loads and drivers as much as the floor.
About our floor joint sealing in Aldworth
Not every floor joint we treat is in a warehouse. Retail units, showrooms and trade counters have slab joints crossed by trolleys, footfall and cleaning machines, where a gappy, dirty joint looks untidy and snags castors. A neat, flush fill makes the floor easier to clean and look after. We work on forklift and pallet-truck routes, joints along racking aisles and saw-cut induced joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints and brittle joint filler breaking up. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Aldworth, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Aldworth have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Aldworth as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

What else we do in Aldworth
Work for main contractors and building owners
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Doing it in-house
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Floor joint sealing in Aldworth: the local picture
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, while winter salting gets into any joint left open. Central London is about 48 miles from Aldworth. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day.
Schools like The Downs School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.

Local landmarks in Aldworth
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to The Bell Inn, among other places. Aldworth’s nearest station is Goring & Streatley station, about 3 miles east of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Hampstead Norris Castle (2.8 miles south-west). For a walk, there’s Withymead Nature Reserve and Churn Hill.
Cost factors for floor joints
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Joint width, depth and condition
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Before you send an enquiry
We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Any specification or named product
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work

- Any joints with broken edges are flagged before work starts.
- We clear each run back to clean concrete.
- The chosen filler or sealant goes in flush with the slab.

Common problems we fix in Aldworth
Small, hard wheels put a lot of load through a very small area. Crossing an open joint, the wheel drops and knocks the opposite arris, and repeated impacts break the concrete away.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
- Loading bay joints breaking down
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
- Untidy open joints in a retail unit
For floors and slabs around Aldworth, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint.
What to look for in a quote

Questions about Aldworth
Does a site in Aldworth have to shut while its joints are sealed?
Usually not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
What documents will you need to give us for a job in Aldworth?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
How soon can traffic go back on the floor?
Cure times vary with the product and how cold the slab is. We will give you a time for each zone before we start.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Do you work in Aldworth?
Yes. Sites across Aldworth are covered, and the same phone number covers every area.
Do you use semi-rigid filler or flexible sealant on floor joints?
It depends on the traffic and the movement. Trafficked joints on truck routes usually need a semi-rigid filler to support the edges and joints with more movement take a flexible sealant.
