Looking after the joints
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Tell us about strong cleaning chemicals before we quote
- Expect fillers on young slabs to need a top-up
- Make joint checks part of your floor inspections
- Keep photographs of joints that look like they’re failing
Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets along the floor. Steel tines will mark a good joint over time.
Every vehicle on a busy aisle hits a damaged joint. Sorting it early looks after your equipment as well as the slab.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Clatterford End
Loading bay joints are exposed to wind, wet tyres and bigger temperature swings, as well as the tightest turning loads. That is normally where joint failure starts.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Old filler gone hard, cracked or loose
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
- Grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor
- Joint edges breaking up under truck wheels
Schools such as The Ongar Academy have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.
What your quote should include
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
What the job involves on each surface
Construction joints
Day joints sit where one section of slab was cast against another. They can move more than saw cuts and that shapes the choice of filler or sealant.
Flexible floor sealants
Polyurethane sealants suit floor joints with larger movement. They don’t hold the arrises up as firmly as a semi-rigid fill so they are used where movement matters more than wheel load.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.

What sealant work can’t fix
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Unstable slabs moving under traffic
- Broken concrete either side of the joint
- Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds

Questions about Clatterford End
Is a smaller place like Clatterford End outside your area?
Not at all. Clatterford End 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 Clatterford End have to close for joint sealing?
In most cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
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 will confirm them with the quote.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
How soon can traffic go back on the floor?
Cure times vary with the product and how cold the slab is. We’ll give you a time for each zone when we agree the phasing.
Why is there a gap next to the joint filler?
It can be shrinkage, contamination on the joint faces or a product unsuited to the movement. We diagnose the cause before suggesting a fix.
