Questions about Bearsted
Can you work on a hospital site such as KIMS Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is a smaller place like Bearsted outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Is the floor joint work guaranteed?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we hold public liability insurance.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
That depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
When can forklifts run over new joint filler?
Each product has its own cure time, and cold floors slow it down. We plan the phasing so that waiting time fits your operation.
What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Unstable slabs moving under traffic
- Structural cracking in the slab
- A floor that is out of level for the racking or trucks
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Retail and showroom floors
- Loading bays
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Construction joints
- Joints along racking aisles
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes

What else we do in Bearsted
On site: what to expect
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself typically taking anything from a day for one loading bay to several days for a large floor, split into phases. Work in places the size of Bearsted is planned as a single visit where we can. Clear photographs and measurements help us bring the right products.
- We look at joint widths, edge condition and the traffic on each route.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and the phasing set out.
- Each joint is cleared of old fill and dirt and taken back to clean, sound edges.
- 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.
- The area is handed back once it has cured enough to take traffic.
Before we start on site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
Quotes
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

When to call us in Bearsted
Loading bay joints are exposed to wind, wet tyres and bigger temperature swings, as well as the tightest turning loads. They are often the first on a site to break down.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing something like this:
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
- Unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
- Drivers complaining about joints on a route
Warehouse floors on estates like Viewpoint Industrial Estate (2 miles north-west of Bearsted) carry pallet trucks and forklifts over every saw-cut joint.

Work for main contractors and building owners
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Bearsted. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
How the quote is worked out
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Working within restricted access windows
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
Pricing floor joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Ask us for a fixed quote.
What we need to price the job
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The site address and postcode
- Access details, including height
- Any specification or named product
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
