Common questions from Borden clients
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Sittingbourne Memorial Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is a smaller place like Borden outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
When can forklifts run over new joint filler?
The wait is set by the product’s cure time and cooler floors take longer. Phasing is planned with that in mind.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually takes between a day and a number of days, set by the joint lengths, the edge condition and the phasing you need. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
What do you need from us to quote?
Send details through our quote form or by email, with the traffic on each area. A fixed quote follows with the product and phasing set out.
Should floor joints be filled or sealed?
The answer comes from the traffic and the joint’s movement. Trafficked joints on truck routes normally need a semi-rigid filler to support the edges, while joints that move more take a flexible sealant.
Floor joint sealing for commercial buildings in Borden
Concrete floors in warehouses and factories are cut into bays with saw cuts and day 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. If you are dealing with dock area joints that have failed first and brittle joint filler breaking up, we can help, whatever the surface. For commercial sealant work in Borden, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Jobs around smaller places like Borden are planned so the whole job is done in one visit. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we’ll take it from there.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: 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
Loading bays and dock areas
At loading bays, product choice has to suit the loads, the temperature and the wet. Phasing is planned around your delivery schedule.
Semi-rigid joint fillers
A semi-rigid filler is stiff enough to hold the arrises up when wheels cross. They allow only small movement so timing matters on newer slabs.
Keeping the joints sound
After handover, these steps help:
- Tell us about strong cleaning chemicals before we quote
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
- Expect fillers on young slabs to need a top-up
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
Young concrete carries on shrinking, so some fillers part slightly from one face. That is common and is normally dealt with by topping up once the slab has settled down in the majority of cases.
Every vehicle on a busy aisle hits a damaged joint. Sorting it early looks after your equipment as well as the slab.
Common problems we fix in Borden
Soft sealant in a heavily trafficked joint gives the edges little support and the edges fail regardless. It can go the other way too: a stiff filler in a joint that keeps moving splits or comes away from the sides.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
- Chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes
Across sites such as Newington Enterprise Centre, which lies north-west of Borden, floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working.
What to look for in a quote
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
Why deal with it now?
While the arrises are intact, filling a joint is straightforward. Wait until the edges have spalled and the concrete needs repairing before the joint can be filled, with longer closures to match. Converted and older buildings near places like Borden tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Pricing floor joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.

From enquiry to sign-off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Jobs in and around smaller places like Borden are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- 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.
- The chosen filler or sealant goes in flush with the slab.
- You get a time for each zone to reopen.
Getting the site ready
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Make sure the joints can be reached
