If you’re dealing with joint fill separating from the concrete and flexible sealant torn out by wheels, we can put it right, on loading bays, joints along racking aisles and saw-cut induced joints alike.

General trades versus a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Surface by surface
Flexible floor sealants
Where joints move more, a flexible polyurethane floor sealant is often used. They give less edge support than semi-rigid fillers, so they suit lighter traffic or movement joints.
Construction joints
Construction joints, sometimes called day joints, mark where one pour ended and the next began. They can move more than saw cuts, and that shapes the product choice.
Questions about Chartham Hatch
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Eastbridge Hospital of St Thomas the Martyr, something you do?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Will you take on work at estates like CMA Industrial Park, close to Chartham Hatch?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Chartham Hatch, CMA Industrial Park among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
What do you need from us to quote?
Send details through our quote form or by email, with the traffic on each area. We then send a fixed quote that shows the products and zones.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Do you repair broken joint edges?
A filler needs sound edges to grip. If the arrises have spalled, we’ll say they need repair before filling, so you can decide how to proceed.
Common problems we fix in Chartham Hatch
Floor joints collect dust, oil, curing compound and cleaning residue. Without cutting back to sound, clean concrete the new filler can’t stay bonded.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Drivers complaining about joints on a route
- Untidy open joints in a retail unit
- Open saw cuts full of debris
- Loading bay joints breaking down
University campuses such as University of Kent (to the north-east of Chartham Hatch) have car parks, paved walkways and building elevations with movement joints.

Warehouse floors and decks around Chartham Hatch
Rainfall across the South East, Chartham Hatch included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.

Another example is Stour Valley Business Park, 1 mile south-east of Chartham Hatch, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers. For an estate such as Eastbridge Hospital of St Thomas the Martyr, 2.9 miles east of Chartham Hatch, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.

Advice
Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Put loading bays at the top of the list
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
- Make joint checks part of your floor inspections
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
Once cured, the joints get cleaned along with the slab. Tell us about aggressive cleaning products or hot washing at quote stage so the product suits them.
Regular inspection catches failing fills before the edges go. We can quote a programme that starts with the busiest areas so nothing is left to fail.
