How we handle floor joint sealing in Charlton-in-Dover
We have been sealing commercial joints since 2005. Applicators carry CSCS cards and work to your site rules, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance in place. Completed joints come with a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. We work on saw-cut induced joints, joints along racking aisles and construction joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are failing joints at loading bays and dock doors and trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Charlton-in-Dover it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In a smaller place such as Charlton-in-Dover, floor and movement joints are often in agricultural and rural business units, schools and the odd small industrial yard. Their slabs and walls still need movement joints that work.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Charlton-in-Dover as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

After the work
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
- Remind operators to lift rather than drag
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets along the floor. Even a well-filled joint can be damaged by steel scraping along it.
A broken joint on a main route is crossed by every truck on that route. Early treatment protects wheels, loads and drivers as much as the floor.
Why deal with it now?
Dirt and spillage gather in open joints, out of reach of the floor cleaner. In shops, showrooms and clean production areas that matters for hygiene and appearance. Filled joints are far simpler to keep clean. In a smaller place such as Charlton-in-Dover, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so we’d suggest renewing all the joints that are going, not just the worst.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Advice
Charlton-in-Dover: questions and answers
Is Charlton-in-Dover off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Does a coastal location like Charlton-in-Dover affect which sealant is used?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Can you send site paperwork?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
What do you need from us to quote?
Approximate metres of joint, photographs of typical and worst areas, and a floor plan are usually enough for a quick quote. For larger floors, a site visit is often best so call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form to set one up.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
How soon can traffic go back on the floor?
Cure times vary with the product and how cold the slab is. You will get a reopening time for each area when we agree the phasing.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
