Floor joint sealing in Borstal, done properly
A working floor can rarely be closed for days on end, so the work is split into zones and treated one area at a time. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them, with goods still moving in the areas we aren’t in. Site teams most often ask us about failing joints at loading bays and dock doors and untidy open joints in a retail unit, across construction joints, joints along racking aisles and retail and showroom floors. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Borstal it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In a smaller place such as Borstal, floor and movement joints are often in agricultural and rural business units, schools and the odd small industrial yard. Concrete floors and yards in these buildings move and crack like any others.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

When to bring in a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Work for main contractors and building owners
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
When something else is needed
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Spalled arrises, which need an edge repair first
- A floor that rocks at the joints, which needs a structural fix
- Wide or random cracking that suggests a structural issue
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think before you book.

- Any joints with broken edges are flagged before work starts.
- We clear each run back to clean concrete.
- We fill the joints with the agreed product, finished level.
- You get a time for each zone to reopen.
What we need from you

Advice
Why act early in Borstal
An open joint is a modest filling job while its edges are sound. Wait until the edges have spalled and the concrete needs repairing before the joint can be filled which means more downtime in that zone. In a smaller place such as Borstal, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What you get with us

Your questions answered
Is Strood Retail Park, near Borstal, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Borstal and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Strood Retail Park included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is a hospital such as Medway Maritime Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
What guarantee do you give on joint filling?
Every job has our 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later slab movement or damage from impacts.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
Can you send site paperwork?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Quoting for work in Borstal
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- How accessible the joints are
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Travel to remote or island sites
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Before you send an enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- When you need the work done
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Specification clauses that apply
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
To get a fixed quote, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the site address and an outline of the work. Our quote form is another easy route.
Where floor joints take the most wear near Borstal
Borstal has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest. Borstal sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.
For estates staff at a university like University for the Creative Arts - Rochester, which lies east of Borstal, building and paving joints are part of the planned maintenance list. At a retail site such as Strood Retail Park (1.4 miles north of Borstal), joints in car parks, service yards and sales floors carry cars, cages and trolleys every day. In a school such as St William of Perth Roman Catholic Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
