After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Expect fillers on young slabs to need a top-up
- Hold traffic back until the product has cured
- Photograph any joint that starts to chip
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
On younger slabs, a fine line can open down one side of a filled joint as the concrete keeps shrinking. That is common and is typically dealt with by topping up once the slab has settled down in the majority of cases.
Joint damage starts slowly and then speeds up. Once the first piece is out, wheels drop further and hit harder, so it pays to act at the first signs.

What else we do in Boughton Malherbe
Why deal with it now?
A floor coating laid over open joints soon cracks along the joint lines. Joints need their own treatment, whether or not the floor is coated. Older rural buildings around Boughton Malherbe move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Why appoint us
- Specification-led, product-correct work
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- One phone line for London, the South East and Scotland
- CHAS accredited contractor

Where floor joints take the most wear near Boughton Malherbe
Boughton Malherbe lies roughly 39 miles out from central London.

Rainfall across the South East, Boughton Malherbe included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.

Office parks like Roebuck Business Park (2.1 miles north-west of Boughton Malherbe) have decks, ramps and clad elevations whose joints take movement every day.

Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.

What the job involves on each surface
Flexible floor sealants
Movement joints, joints at walls and joints in lightly trafficked areas often take a flexible sealant. Closed-cell backing rod goes in first, keeping the bead shallow and gripping only the two faces.
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
A route joint has to take repeated wheel strikes without breaking up. Wheel type and traffic level steer the product choice.
