Honest limits
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Joint edges that have already broken away, which need repairing before filling (we will tell you if so)
- A floor that is out of level for the racking or trucks
- Cracks across panels caused by settlement or overload
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Construction joints
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Loading bays
- Joints along racking aisles
- Retail and showroom floors
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Chelwood Gate
Oil, laitance, dust and old cleaning chemicals build up inside joints. If the faces aren’t taken back to clean concrete first the new filler can’t stay bonded.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor
- Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
- Brittle joint filler breaking up
- Trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints
Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Hangdown Mead Business Park (3 miles north-west of Chelwood Gate): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time.
What your quote should include
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Who will actually carry out the work
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Their approach to joint depth and backing

Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Keep grit out of unfilled joints in the meantime
- Put loading bays at the top of the list
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
- Tell us about strong cleaning chemicals before we quote
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.
Common questions from Chelwood Gate clients
Does your area include sites such as Horsted Keynes Business Park, near Chelwood Gate?
Yes, sites like Horsted Keynes Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Chelwood Gate. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Crowborough War Memorial Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
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.
How do we get a quote for floor joints?
Approximate metres of joint, photos of typical and worst areas, and a floor plan let us give a quick quote. We can visit where that helps so call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to set one up.
Is colour matching possible?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
For managing agents and facilities managers
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Quoting for work in Chelwood Gate
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- How much there is to seal
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Distance, for remote addresses
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Sending details for a quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Your programme or deadline
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
