About our floor joint sealing in Chatham
For sites in Chatham and across Medway, the process is short: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. A rough length of joint, photos of the worst areas and a site plan let us give a quick quote, or we can arrange a site visit. Site teams most often ask us about soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints and dock area joints that have failed first, across loading bays, joints along racking aisles and retail and showroom floors. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Chatham is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Retail units, healthcare buildings and car parks in large towns all have movement joints in floors, decks and walls, and Chatham is no different. When they fail, water and grit get in, edges break up and leaks follow.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.
For managing agents and facilities managers
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Chatham can form part of a wider programme across Medway.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Chatham
Small, hard wheels put a lot of load through a very small area. Crossing an open joint, the wheel drops and knocks the opposite arris and those knocks chip the edge apart bit by bit.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
- Grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
- Joint edges breaking up under truck wheels
Campuses like University for the Creative Arts - Rochester, 1.8 miles north-west of Chatham, mix old and new buildings, with movement joints wherever they meet.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their public liability cover
- How joint depth will be controlled
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
Leave it or put it right?
Every jolt over a broken joint passes into the truck, the load and the driver. That means extra wear on wheels and a rougher ride for staff, adding costs nobody plans for. A properly filled joint smooths the route. A leaking joint in a commercial building in Chatham can damage stock, ceilings and finishes, and putting that right typically costs more than the reseal. It pays to act early.
Pricing floor joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Photograph any joint that starts to chip
- Make joint checks part of your floor inspections
- Remind operators to lift rather than drag
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
We’ll give you a time before trucks can run over the new joints and it pays to stick to it. Cones or barriers stop the first driver cutting the corner.
Every vehicle on a busy aisle hits a damaged joint. Sorting it early looks after your equipment as well as the slab.
Chatham: questions and answers
Does your area include sites such as Horsted Retail Park, near Chatham?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Chatham, Horsted Retail Park among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Would you work within a site like Medway Maritime Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
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.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Should floor joints be filled or sealed?
We decide joint by joint. Hard wheels need edge support, which points to a semi-rigid filler, and movement joints or perimeters need something flexible. The quote sets out what goes where.

Less than 3 miles from Chatham there are at least three named estates and business parks. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment. Chatham sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, while winter salting gets into any joint left open.
Retail parks like Horsted Retail Park, 1.1 miles to the west of Chatham, have long runs of car park and yard joints taking daily traffic. Across sites such as Pelican View Business Park, 1.4 miles west of Chatham, floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working.
