About our floor joint sealing in Copshaw Holm
Few warehouses can shut a whole floor while joints are done, so we phase the work aisle by aisle or bay by bay. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them, with goods still moving in the areas we aren’t in. We work on saw-cut induced joints, construction joints and joints along racking aisles, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are a gap opening alongside old joint filler and unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Copshaw Holm, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In smaller places such as Copshaw Holm, the joints we are asked about sit in workshops, farm sheds, schools and halls. Slabs and yards take vehicles, rain and frost.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
We will 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.
A broken joint on a main route is crossed by every truck on that route. Sorting it early looks after your equipment as well as the slab.
Common questions from Copshaw Holm clients
Will our site in Copshaw Holm have to close for joint sealing?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
What site paperwork comes with a job in Copshaw Holm?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Why is there a gap next to the joint filler?
On newer slabs, the concrete keeps shrinking after the joints are filled, so a semi-rigid filler can part from one face. A top-up normally puts it right.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
What do you need from us to quote?
Send details through our quote form or by email, with the traffic on each area. A fixed quote follows that shows the products and zones.
Surface by surface
Isolation joints at walls and columns
Joints at walls and columns are often missed when floors are sealed and fill up with dirt. We include them in the survey.
Saw-cut induced joints
Open saw cuts collect grit and break at the arris. Filled in good time, they stay narrow and neat.
When something else is needed
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- A floor that rocks at the joints, which needs a structural fix
- Level or flatness problems across the floor
- Structural cracking in the slab
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Why deal with it now?
A floor coating laid over open joints soon cracks along the joint lines. Joints need their own treatment, whether or not the floor is coated. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Copshaw Holm. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Pricing floor joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Ask us for a fixed quote.
