About our floor joint sealing in Beckley Furnace
Concrete floors in warehouses and factories are cut into bays by saw-cut joints and construction joints, and every one of those joints is an exposed edge under hard wheels. Our job is to put the right filler or sealant into them for the loads and the movement they see so the edges are held up and debris can’t pack in. We work on saw-cut induced joints, loading bays and retail and showroom floors, and the failures we are asked to look at most are joint edges breaking up under truck wheels and unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Beckley Furnace is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Beckley Furnace have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Why act early in Beckley Furnace
Painting or coating straight over joints rarely lasts. The joints have to be filled or sealed as joints before or alongside any coating work. Around Beckley Furnace, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

Your questions answered
Must our site in Beckley Furnace stop work while the joints are done?
In the majority of cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Is Beckley Furnace off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
That depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
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.
How long before trucks can use the joints?
Cure times vary with the product and the conditions. We’ll give you a time for each zone before we start.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
What sealant work can’t fix
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- A floor that is out of level for the racking or trucks
- Structural cracking in the slab
- Slab panels that rock or move under load
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Construction joints
- Saw-cut induced joints

Looking after the joints
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Walk the main routes and inspect joint lines on a regular cycle
- Expect fillers on young slabs to need a top-up
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
On younger slabs, a fine line can open down one side of a filled joint as the concrete keeps shrinking. It is a known trait of new floors and a later top-up deals with it in most cases.
Every day an open joint stays full of grit, the edges take more punishment. Getting it filled stops the damage while it is still a straightforward job.
