Floor joint sealing in Burstow, done properly
We diagnose the floor first rather than guessing at a product: joint widths, whether the joints are still opening, what runs over them and how the edges have held up. From that we choose between a semi-rigid filler and a more flexible sealant and the answer can differ from one zone to the next. Site teams most often ask us about unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit and sealant pulled out along a truck route, on joints along racking aisles, retail and showroom floors and construction joints. Most enquiries from Burstow start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Burstow have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Burstow: questions and answers
Is Burstow too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Burstow is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Does your area include sites such as Maple Business Park, near Burstow?
Yes. Our area takes in Burstow and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Maple Business Park included. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
How do we get a quote for floor joints?
A rough joint length, a few photos and a site plan are normally enough for a quick quote. For larger floors, a site visit is often best, and you can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email to arrange it.
Why has the filler pulled away from one side?
Separation usually comes from slab shrinkage, poor preparation or the wrong product. We diagnose the cause before suggesting a fix.
Which is better for warehouse joints, filler or sealant?
We decide joint by joint. Where hard wheels cross, a semi-rigid filler is usually right and perimeter or movement joints need flexibility. You will see the choice for each area in the quote.
What guarantee do you give on joint filling?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee, and we hold public liability insurance.

Commercial clients in Burstow
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
What we’re called out for in Burstow
Older fills harden, shrink and crack with age especially under daily scrubbing and traffic. At that point it neither holds the edges nor keeps debris out.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Cracked and crumbling joint fill
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
- A rough ride across broken joints
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
Across sites such as Kiln Heath Farm Business Centre, 0.5 miles to the south-east of Burstow, floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working.
Before you book anyone
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
Keeping the joints sound
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Clear packed debris from open joints regularly
- Photograph any joint that starts to chip
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
Young concrete carries on shrinking, so some fillers part slightly from one face. That is common and is typically dealt with by topping up once the slab has settled down.
Grit in an open joint does damage every time a wheel crosses it. Getting it filled stops the damage while it is still a straightforward job.
What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- A floor that is out of level for the racking or trucks
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job
- Unstable slabs moving under traffic
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.

General trades versus a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
