About our floor joint sealing in Burnham
Most industrial slabs are divided into panels with saw cuts and day joints, and each joint line is a weak edge that wheels run over all day. We fill or seal them with a product matched to the traffic and the movement, so the arrises are supported and grit stays out. We work on retail and showroom floors, saw-cut induced joints and construction joints, and what we’re called in for most is drivers complaining about joints on a route and sealant pulled out along a truck route. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Burnham, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around places the size of Burnham, joints that need sealing tend to be in rural business units, farm buildings put to commercial use, schools and community buildings. Concrete floors and yards in these buildings move and crack like any others.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Honest limits
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Broken concrete either side of the joint
- A floor that rocks at the joints, which needs a structural fix
- Cracks across panels caused by settlement or overload

Common problems we fix in Burnham
Joints near dock doors see colder air, rain blown in and water off vehicles on top of the heaviest turning movements. They are often the first on a site to break down.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
- Brittle joint filler breaking up
- Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
- Joint fill separating from the concrete
Schools like The E-Act Burnham Park Academy often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.
What to look for in a quote
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
Common questions from Burnham clients
Is a hospital such as Upton Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Does your area include sites such as Marshgate Trading Estate, near Burnham?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Burnham, Marshgate Trading Estate among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
Should floor joints be filled or sealed?
The answer comes from the traffic and the joint’s movement. Trafficked joints on truck routes typically need a semi-rigid filler to support the edges, while joints that move more take a flexible sealant.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
How long before trucks can use the joints?
The wait is set by the product’s cure time and cooler floors take longer. Phasing is planned with that in mind.
How do we get a quote for floor joints?
A rough joint length, a few photos and a site plan let us give a quick quote. For larger floors, a site visit is often best so call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to set one up.
Warehouse floors and decks around Burnham
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in. Burnham has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest.
Across sites such as Bath Road Shopping Park, which lies south-east of Burnham, floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working. Hospitals like Upton Hospital (3.3 miles south-east of Burnham) have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock.

Related advice
Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Clear packed debris from open joints regularly
- Let us know what the floor is cleaned with
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
- Photograph any joint that starts to chip
We’ll give you a time before trucks can run over the new joints, and it’s worth enforcing. Cones or barriers stop the first driver cutting the corner.
Regular inspection catches failing fills before the edges go. We can quote a programme that starts with the busiest areas and keeps on top of the rest.
When to bring in a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
How the job changes by surface
Semi-rigid joint fillers
A semi-rigid fill can separate along one side while a slab is still shrinking. A later top-up usually puts that right and we’ll flag it at quote stage.
Saw-cut induced joints
Saw cuts are made soon after the slab is cast so shrinkage cracks follow a line. They are narrow but open up as the panels shrink so trafficked runs need a filler that holds the arrises.
