About our floor joint sealing in Boarhunt
It isn’t only heavy industry. Shops, showrooms and trade counters have joints that take trolleys, foot traffic and scrubber-driers, and an open, grimy joint line looks poor as well as catching wheels. A neat, flush fill makes the floor easier to clean and look after. Site teams most often ask us about scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor and chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes, on retail and showroom floors, construction joints and forklift and pallet-truck routes. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Boarhunt, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Boarhunt have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

What the job involves on each surface
Construction joints
Construction joints, sometimes called day joints, mark where one pour ended and the next began. They can move more than saw cuts and that shapes the choice of filler or sealant.
Retail and showroom floors
Polished and coated concrete floors in shops and showrooms show every joint. We aim for a tidy, flush finish that suits the floor and confirm which colours the product comes in.
Other services in Boarhunt
Do you need floor joint sealing in Boarhunt?
Concrete slabs shrink as they dry out, and saw-cut joints give that shrinkage a planned place to crack. Each panel pulls back as it shrinks and the joints open up so a filler put in early may separate along one side.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
- Old filler gone hard, cracked or loose
- Unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit
- Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
A healthcare site such as Knowle Hospital, 2.9 miles west of Boarhunt, depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
General trades versus a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Cost factors for floor joints
What shapes the price:
- Access and working height
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Phasing around occupants
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Sending details for a quote
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Access details, including height
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
To get a fixed quote, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the site address and an outline of the work. Our quote form is another easy route.
Looking after the joints
After handover, these steps help:
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
- Keep photos of joints that look like they’re failing
- Walk the main routes and inspect joint lines on a regular cycle
- Clear packed debris from open joints regularly
Walk the main truck routes every few months and look along the joint lines. Look for separation down one side, new chips in the arris and debris gathering and keep photographs so changes are easy to compare.
Joints are easiest to look after when someone checks them regularly. A phased plan, worst routes first, spreads the work out and keeps on top of the rest.
From enquiry to sign-off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work normally takes anything from a day for one loading bay to several days for a large floor, split into phases, and we clear our waste as we work. For work around Boarhunt, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- A floor survey records every joint, its edges and what crosses it.
- The treatment and the zones are set out in a fixed quote.
- Old fill and packed debris come out until both faces are sound.
- We extract the dust and prime the faces if the product needs it.
- Filler or sealant is placed to depth and finished flush.
- Zones reopen once cured and the work moves on.
Getting the site ready
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Point out any areas we must not close

FAQs: Boarhunt
Is Boarhunt too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Does the sea air around Boarhunt change the choice of sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
Is it normal for joint filler to separate?
Separation usually comes from slab shrinkage, poor preparation or the wrong product. We diagnose the cause before suggesting a fix.
How soon can traffic go back on the floor?
The wait is set by the product’s cure time and cooler floors take longer. Phasing is planned with that in mind.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Boarhunt
Boarhunt sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, so it pays to keep them sealed. Boarhunt is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.
If you manage units on an estate such as Spurlings Industrial Estate (1.1 miles south-west of Boarhunt), the floor joints under forklifts and pallet trucks and the slab joints in the yard are the ones to watch. In a school such as Cams Hill School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
