Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Alkerton
Rainfall across the South East, Alkerton included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.
In a school such as Shenington Church of England Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. For buildings at a park such as Alkerton Oaks Business Park, which lies north of Alkerton, brick and panel movement joints are easy to forget until one leaks.

Surface by surface
Saw-cut induced joints
Most of the joints in a warehouse floor are saw cuts. We clear them back to clean concrete and fill them to the depth the product calls for, finishing flush with the slab.
Isolation joints at walls and columns
Where racking or plant sits near column joints, access is agreed before we start.
What we are called out for in Alkerton
Older fills harden, shrink and crack with age especially under daily scrubbing and traffic. At that point it neither holds the edges nor keeps debris out.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Old filler gone hard, cracked or loose
- Drivers complaining about joints on a route
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
- Dock area joints that have failed first
Hospital campuses such as Horton General Hospital, 5.2 miles to the east of Alkerton, grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.
Questions to ask before you book
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS

On site: what to expect
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. Smaller jobs around Alkerton can be grouped with others nearby. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- Each area is assessed for joint width, arris damage and the wheels that cross it.
- The quote fixes the price, names the filler or sealant and shows how the floor will be zoned.
- Each joint is cleared of old fill and dirt and taken back to clean, sound edges.
- Dust is sucked out of the joint and a primer used if the product data sheet asks for one.
- We fill each joint to depth and finish it flush so wheels roll straight across.
- The area is handed back once it has cured enough to take traffic.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

After the work
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Let us know what the floor is cleaned with
- Keep grit out of unfilled joints in the meantime
- Put loading bays at the top of the list
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
Young concrete carries on shrinking, so some fillers part slightly from one face. It is a known trait of new floors and a later top-up deals with it.
Grit in an open joint does damage every time a wheel crosses it. Filling it ends that cycle before it becomes a repair.
Questions about Alkerton
Is Alkerton off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Will you take on work at estates like Alkerton Oaks Business Park, close to Alkerton?
Yes. Our area takes in Alkerton and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Alkerton Oaks Business Park included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Can you fill joints where the arrises have spalled?
Filling against broken edges doesn’t last. If the arrises have spalled, we will say they need repair before filling, so you can decide how to proceed.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
Leave it or put it right?
Some runs only need partial renewal or topping up. If old material is sound on one face and only a fine gap has opened, it may not all have to come out and the quote shows which approach suits each run. Around Alkerton, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Send photos of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
