When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Cracks across panels caused by settlement or overload
- Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds
- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.

How we handle floor joint sealing in Bethersden
Forklifts and pallet trucks are hard on open joints. Every pass chips at the bare concrete edge, and over time a neat cut turns into a ragged channel. Filling the joint properly gives the edges back their support. It also smooths the route for drivers and stock. If you are dealing with trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints and scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor, we can put it right, on saw-cut induced joints, forklift and pallet-truck routes and retail and showroom floors alike. For commercial sealant work in Bethersden, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
In and around smaller places like Bethersden, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

General trades versus a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Maintenance after handover
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Clear packed debris from open joints regularly
- Tell us about strong cleaning chemicals before we quote
- Put loading bays at the top of the list
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
We’ll give you a time before trucks can run over the new joints and it pays to stick to it. Cones or barriers stop the first driver cutting the corner.
Regular inspection catches failing fills before the edges go. A phased plan, worst routes first, spreads the work out so nothing is left to fail.

FAQs: Bethersden
Which documents can you supply for work in Bethersden?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Does a site in Bethersden have to shut while its joints are sealed?
In the majority of cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Why has the filler pulled away from one side?
It can be shrinkage, contamination on the joint faces or a product unsuited to the movement. We look at which it is before recommending anything.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
What do you need from us to quote?
Send details through our quote form or by email and tell us what runs on the floor. We then send a fixed quote that shows the products and zones.
Does the weather affect the 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. Internal work is rarely affected.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Jobs in and around smaller places like Bethersden are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.
- We point out joints whose edges need repairing first.
- 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
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Send your site hours and access windows

Loading bays and dock areas
We typically work through dock areas a few bays at a time so deliveries keep moving. Your site hours and access windows set the order.
Saw-cut induced joints
Induced joints are sawn into a new slab to control where it cracks. They are narrow but open up as the panels shrink, and on truck routes they need a filler that supports the edges.
