Floor joint sealing in Caterham, done properly
We diagnose the floor first rather than guessing at a product: how wide the joints are, signs of ongoing movement, the wheel types crossing them and the state of the arrises. 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. We work on forklift and pallet-truck routes, construction joints and retail and showroom floors, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are cracked and crumbling joint fill and sealant pulled out along a truck route. Searching for sealant specialists in Caterham? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
In Caterham, as in most towns, brickwork and panel movement joints on public and commercial buildings age quietly. Once the sealant hardens or splits, water gets into the wall and the joint no longer works.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

Commercial clients in Caterham
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
On site: what to expect
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. In a town such as Caterham, most jobs are single buildings. We start with your photos, drawings or a site visit, then send a fixed quote.
- We walk the floor and mark up joint widths, edge damage and traffic routes.
- You receive a fixed quote showing products and phasing.
- Each joint is cut or routed back to clean, sound concrete.
- We extract the dust and prime the faces if the product needs it.
- The joint is filled to its specified depth and trimmed level.
- We hand each phase back when it can take traffic.
Getting the site ready
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Flag any permit to work we will need
Ask for a quote
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

What else we do in Caterham
Doing it in-house
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Your questions answered
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like North Downs Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Does a site in Caterham have to shut while its joints are sealed?
In the majority of cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
Should floor joints be filled or sealed?
There isn’t one answer for a whole floor. Hard wheels need edge support, which points to a semi-rigid filler and perimeter or movement joints need flexibility. You’ll see the choice for each area in the quote.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
What happens if the joint edges are damaged?
Edge condition is recorded when we look at the floor. Where they have broken away, we will tell you before quoting the filling so the filling isn’t wasted.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Why deal with it now?
Painting or coating straight over joints rarely lasts. The joints have to be filled or sealed as joints before or alongside any coating work. In a town such as Caterham, a lot of buildings are older and have been altered over time, so joints between old and new are often the first to go. Resealing them early protects the building behind.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.

Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Caterham
Rainfall across the South East, Caterham included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints. The 3 miles around Caterham take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints.
In a school such as Hillcroft Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. For an estate such as North Downs Hospital, 1 mile to the south-east of Caterham, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time. Retail parks like Church Walk Shopping Centre (to the south-east of Caterham) have long runs of car park and yard joints taking daily traffic.

How the job changes by surface
Saw-cut induced joints
A sawn joint left open soon packs with debris and chips at the edges. Filled in good time, they stay narrow and neat.
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
A route joint has to take repeated wheel strikes without breaking up. Wheel type and traffic level steer the product choice.
What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Unstable slabs moving under traffic
- Broken concrete either side of the joint
- Cracks across panels caused by settlement or overload
