Warehouse floors and decks around Bunce Common
Central London is about 22 miles from Bunce Common. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital. Bunce Common is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.
Hospitals like Dorking Community Hospital (to the north-west of Bunce Common) have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock.

Floor joint sealing in Bunce Common
Sometimes the concrete either side of a joint has already spalled. Filling against a crumbled arris won’t hold for long, so if the edges need repair before any filling, we will say so and explain how it affects the programme. If you’re dealing with broken arrises where pallet trucks cross and open saw cuts full of debris, we can put it right, whatever the surface. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Bunce Common first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Bunce Common have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will arrange a return visit.

What we are called out for in Bunce Common
Pallet-truck and forklift wheels concentrate weight on a tiny contact patch. Where a joint is open, the wheel dips and strikes the far edge and those knocks chip the edge apart bit by bit.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Drivers complaining about joints on a route
- Cracked and crumbling joint fill
- Open saw cuts full of debris
- Joint edges breaking up under truck wheels
On a site such as Chesterfield Business Park, 2.9 miles north-east of Bunce Common, the movement joints are in car park slabs, paving and building elevations.

Advice

Also in Bunce Common
Should maintenance staff do it?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Leave it or put it right?
Dirt and spillage gather in open joints, out of reach of the floor cleaner. Where the floor is on show or needs to be kept clean, that is a problem. Filled joints are far simpler to keep clean. Older rural buildings around Bunce Common move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you’re ready.

Common questions from Bunce Common clients
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Dorking Community Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Does your area include sites such as Chesterfield Business Park, near Bunce Common?
Yes. We cover Bunce Common and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Chesterfield Business Park. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Will we need to close the floor?
In most cases, just the area being treated is coned off. Each zone reopens when the product can take traffic, then we move to the next.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
When is resealing likely to be due?
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 checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Do you repair broken joint edges?
Edge condition is recorded when we look at the floor. Damaged edges are flagged up front, so nothing is filled that won’t hold.
When it isn’t the sealant
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Level or flatness problems across the floor
- Worn screed or surface finishes
- Unstable slabs moving under traffic
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Construction joints
- Retail and showroom floors
- Joints along racking aisles
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Loading bays
Different surfaces, different methods
Semi-rigid joint fillers
Semi-rigid fillers are designed to support joint edges under hard wheels. They tolerate little movement, so they suit joints where most shrinkage has already happened.
Loading bays and dock areas
At loading bays, product choice has to suit the loads, the temperature and the wet. Curing times also have to fit around deliveries.
