How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- How much there is to seal
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- How accessible the joints are
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Before you send an enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Access details, including height
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The product your specification calls for
- What the building is and how it’s used
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to discuss it first.
Questions about Boughton Aluph
Can you work at a site such as Eurogate Business Park, by Boughton Aluph?
Yes. We cover Boughton Aluph and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Eurogate Business Park. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is a smaller place like Boughton Aluph outside your area?
Not at all. Boughton Aluph is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you fill joints where the arrises have spalled?
We check the edges as part of the survey. Damaged edges are flagged up front so the filling isn’t wasted.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. 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.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Common problems we fix in Boughton Aluph
Pallet-truck and forklift wheels concentrate weight on a tiny contact patch. Crossing an open joint, the wheel drops and knocks the opposite arris, and repeated impacts break the concrete away.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints
- Brittle joint filler breaking up
- Grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor
- Unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit
For a school such as Wye School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.

Floors, slabs and movement joints in Boughton Aluph
Rainfall across the South East, Boughton Aluph included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints. Boughton Aluph is about 48 miles from central London.

Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Tell us about strong cleaning chemicals before we quote
- Keep photographs of joints that look like they’re failing
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
Normal floor cleaning is fine once the product has cured. If you use strong chemicals or hot-water washing, mention it when we quote so we choose something that tolerates them.
Edges tend to break slowly at first, then quickly. Once the first piece is out, wheels drop further and hit harder so early treatment saves a lot of trouble.
On site: what to expect
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Jobs in and around smaller places like Boughton Aluph 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.
- Any joints with broken edges are flagged before work starts.
- 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
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Doing it in-house
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
