Common questions from Brickendon clients
Can you work at a site such as Mimram Road Industrial Estate, by Brickendon?
Yes. Our area takes in Brickendon and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Mimram Road Industrial Estate included. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is a smaller place like Brickendon outside your area?
No. Places such as Brickendon are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
How do we get a quote for floor joints?
Send details through our quote form or by email and tell us what runs on the floor. We then send a fixed quote that shows the products and zones.
How soon can traffic go back on the floor?
The wait is set by the product’s cure time, and cold floors slow it down. We plan the phasing so that waiting time fits your operation.
Which is better for warehouse joints, filler or sealant?
There isn’t one answer for a whole floor. Where hard wheels cross, a semi-rigid filler is usually right, and movement joints or perimeters need something flexible. The quote sets out what goes where.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Brickendon
A soft, flexible sealant on a forklift route can’t hold the arrises up, so the concrete still breaks beside it. The opposite mistake happens as well: a stiff filler in a joint that keeps moving splits or comes away from the sides.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
- Brittle joint filler breaking up
- Open saw cuts full of debris
- A rough ride across broken joints
Hospital campuses such as Hertford County Hospital, 2.8 miles north of Brickendon, grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.
Questions to ask before you book
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?

How the job changes by surface
Saw-cut induced joints
Most of the joints in a warehouse floor are saw cuts. Each one is cleaned out and filled to the specified depth, finishing flush with the slab.
Loading bays and dock areas
Joints at dock doors need a product that copes with the traffic and the conditions. Curing times also have to fit around deliveries.
Commercial clients in Brickendon
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Holding off until the whole floor can close can take a long time. Phased in zones, the busiest routes can be treated first and the remainder follows on a plan that suits you. Converted and older buildings near places like Brickendon tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Pricing floor joints depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Looking after the joints
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Keep photos of joints that look like they’re failing
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
- Put loading bays at the top of the list
- Clear packed debris from open joints regularly
Once cured, the joints get cleaned along with the slab. If you use strong chemicals or hot-water washing, mention it when we quote so the product suits them.
Grit in an open joint does damage every time a wheel crosses it. Getting it filled stops the damage before it becomes a repair.
