When something else is needed
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job
- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling
- Cracks across panels caused by settlement or overload
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will tell you honestly.

Floor joint sealing in Burford
Not every floor joint we treat is in a warehouse. Shops, showrooms and trade counters have joints that take trolleys, foot traffic and scrubber-driers, where a gappy, dirty joint looks untidy and snags castors. A neat, flush fill makes the floor easier to clean and look after. If you’re dealing with sealant pulled out along a truck route and saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit, we can help, on joints along racking aisles, saw-cut induced joints and retail and showroom floors alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Burford, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Work in a smaller place like Burford is typically one building at a time. Getting widths, depths and traffic details up front means one visit, not two.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

When to call us in Burford
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 repeated impacts break the concrete away.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Dock area joints that have failed first
- Flexible sealant torn out by wheels
- Scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor
- Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
For floors and slabs around Burford, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
Traffic, movement and joints around Burford
Burford sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint. Burford lies roughly 69 miles out from central London. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day.
Schools like Burford Primary School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.

After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
- Clear packed debris from open joints regularly
Keep traffic off fresh joints until the time we give you and it pays to stick to it. Cones or barriers stop the first driver cutting the corner.
Grit in an open joint does damage every time a wheel crosses it. Filling it ends that cycle while it is still a straightforward job.
FAQs: Burford
Does a site in Burford have to shut while its joints are sealed?
In most cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we will plan from there.
What site paperwork comes with a job in Burford?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Is Burford in your area?
Yes. Burford falls within our area, and you can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form to get started.
Should floor joints be filled or sealed?
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 long before trucks can use the joints?
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.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
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. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
How a job runs
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. For a site in Burford, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- We look at joint widths, edge condition and the traffic on each route.
- The quote fixes the price, names the filler or sealant and shows how the floor will be zoned.
- Old filler, debris and contamination are cut or routed out back to clean concrete.
- Dust is sucked out of the joint and a primer used if the product data sheet asks for one.
- The chosen product is placed to its specified depth and trimmed level with the floor.
- Each phase reopens when the product is ready for wheels, then we start the next.
What we need from you
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Different surfaces, different methods
Construction joints
Some construction joints have steel edge protection, others are plain concrete. If the edges look unsound, we’ll say so before any filling is done.
Retail and showroom floors
Shop and showroom floors often have exposed slab joints, especially with polished or coated concrete. A flush, neat fill in a suitable colour keeps the floor looking right, and we will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
