About our floor joint sealing in Carter's Clay
We work on warehouse aisles, dock areas, factory floors, retail units and showrooms. Pricing depends on the length of joint, how worn the edges are and when we can get in, and the quote is fixed before we mobilise. If you have old filler gone hard, cracked or loose and drivers complaining about joints on a route, we can put it right. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Carter's Clay first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Jobs around smaller places like Carter's Clay are planned so the whole job is done in one visit, with the right materials on hand. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we’ll take it from there.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

When something else is needed

- A floor that is out of level for the racking or trucks
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job
- A floor that rocks at the joints, which needs a structural fix

What we are called out for in Carter's Clay
Joints near dock doors see colder air, rain blown in and water off vehicles, as well as the tightest turning loads. They are often the first on a site to break down.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Untidy open joints in a retail unit
- Unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit
- Loading bay joints breaking down
- Trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints
Sites like Romsey Community Hospital (4 miles south-east of Carter's Clay) carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints.
Before you book anyone
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
Joints that move: notes for Carter's Clay
Carter's Clay has two named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints. Rainfall across the South East, Carter's Clay included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, while winter salting gets into any joint left open.
Schools such as Awbridge Primary School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook. At places like Gardeners Business Park, 2.6 miles south-west of Carter's Clay, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.

On site: what to expect
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Rural sites near Carter's Clay may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- Each area is assessed for joint width, arris damage and the wheels that cross it.
- A fixed quote follows, listing the treatment for each area and the order of work.
- We remove failed material and packed debris until sound concrete is exposed on both faces.
- Dust is extracted from the joint and primer applied where the manufacturer specifies it.
- We fill each joint to depth and finish it flush so wheels roll straight across.
- Each phase reopens when the product is ready for wheels, then we start the next.
Preparing the site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Point out any areas we must not close

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

Are your applicators CSCS-carded?

How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Aftercare for building managers
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Expect fillers on young slabs to need a top-up
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
- Photograph any joint that starts to chip
A routine walk of the busiest aisles shows how the joints are holding up. Watch for filler pulling away from an edge, fresh chipping or grit collecting and keep photographs so changes are easy to compare.
Edges tend to break slowly at first, then quickly. Once the first piece is out, wheels drop further and hit harder so early treatment saves a lot of trouble.
Why deal with it now?
Holding off until the whole floor can close can take a long time. Phased in zones, the busiest routes can be treated first while the rest of the floor carries on. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Carter's Clay, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
