FAQs: Christmas Common
Is Christmas Common too far out for you?
Not at all. Christmas Common is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Will our site in Christmas Common have to close for joint sealing?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Why is there a gap next to the joint filler?
Young concrete carries on shrinking for a long time and a stiff filler can separate down one side. It is normally dealt with by topping up.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
Should floor joints be filled or sealed?
There isn’t one answer for a whole floor. Where hard wheels cross, a semi-rigid filler is usually right and perimeter or movement joints need flexibility. You’ll see the choice for each area in the quote.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Christmas Common
Sometimes the concrete either side of a joint has already spalled. A filler laid against broken edges has nothing sound to grip, so we’ll tell you if the joint edges need repairing first and explain how it affects the programme. The enquiries we see most involve unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit and broken arrises where pallet trucks cross, on joints along racking aisles, forklift and pallet-truck routes and loading bays. Searching for sealant specialists in Christmas Common? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Christmas Common have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.

When to call us in Christmas Common
A slab keeps shrinking for a long time after it is cast, and the saw cuts are there so it cracks in straight, controlled lines. As the panels contract, the joints widen so a filler put in early may separate along one side.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Loading bay joints breaking down
- Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
- Flexible sealant torn out by wheels
- A rough ride across broken joints
On industrial estates such as Watlington Industrial Estate, 2.2 miles north-west of Christmas Common, saw-cut floor joints, loading bay slabs and yard joints take the heaviest traffic.

Floors, slabs and movement joints in Christmas Common
At about 39 miles from central London, Christmas Common is within reach of the capital. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital. Christmas Common 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, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.
For a school such as Icknield Community College, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.
Christmas Common is about 8 miles south of Thame, in Oxfordshire. Any commercial site in Christmas Common is covered, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. Christmas Common is one of 423 places in Oxfordshire on our list. We also cover Reading, some 13 miles away.

Keeping the joints sound
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
If a joint we filled starts to break up within 12 months, tell us and we’ll arrange a look. Beyond that, an inspection once or twice a year catches failing joints early.
Joints are easiest to look after when someone checks them regularly. A phased plan, worst routes first, spreads the work out and keeps on top of the rest.
Why act early in Christmas Common
While the arrises are intact, filling a joint is straightforward. Wait until the edges have spalled and the concrete needs repairing before the joint can be filled which means more downtime in that zone. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Christmas Common. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Different surfaces, different methods
Retail and showroom floors
In retail, joints take trolleys, castors and cleaning machines rather than forklifts. The product is chosen for that traffic and the appearance is part of the brief.
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Open route joints are hard on equipment and drivers. A filled joint lets wheels roll across and protects the floor.
