Diagnose, treat, sign off
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Cornton. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We walk the floor and mark up joint widths, edge damage and traffic routes.
- The treatment and the zones are set out in a fixed quote.
- Old fill and packed debris come out until both faces are sound.
- Dust is vacuumed out and primer applied where specified.
- The joint is filled to its specified depth and trimmed level.
- We hand each phase back when it can take traffic.
Preparing the site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Floor joint sealing in Cornton
Not every floor joint we treat is in a warehouse. Shops, showrooms and trade counters have joints that take trolleys, foot traffic and scrubber-driers, where a gappy, dirty joint looks untidy and snags castors. A flush, well-finished joint tidies the whole floor. We work on loading bays, forklift and pallet-truck routes and retail and showroom floors, and what we are called in for most is a rough ride across broken joints and dock area joints that have failed first. Most enquiries from Cornton start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Weather windows decide external joint work around a place like Cornton: sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within its range. Inside slabs aren’t affected and can be scheduled around the occupier.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Common questions from Cornton clients
Is a hospital such as BMI Kings Park Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Cornton, such as Castle Business Park?
Yes, sites like Castle Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Cornton. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
How soon can traffic go back on the floor?
Cure times vary with the product and how cold the slab is. You’ll get a reopening time for each area when we agree the phasing.
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.
When to call us in Cornton
Unfilled joints soon pack with grit, shrink-wrap scraps and pallet splinters. Packed debris acts like a wedge every time a wheel crosses so the arrises break sooner.
Look out for the following:
- Scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor
- Cracked and crumbling joint fill
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
- Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
Office parks like Castle Business Park (to the south-west of Cornton) have decks, ramps and clad elevations whose joints take movement every day.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee

Why act early in Cornton
Duct tape or a general builders’ sealant can seem to buy some time. None of it is designed for wheel loads and traffic soon pulls it out. The right filler or sealant saves doing it twice. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Cornton. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Why us?
- Commercial sealant work since 2005
- Constructionline member for supplier checks
- Work carried out by CSCS-carded applicators
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
Take a look at what affects the cost and how we’re accredited.
How the quote is worked out
What shapes the price:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- The total length or number of joints
- Travel to remote or island sites
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.
What to include in your enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Access details, including height
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Specification clauses that apply
- When you need the work done
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
Dragged forks and pallets gouge joints and edges alike. Even a well-filled joint can be damaged by steel scraping along it.
Grit in an open joint does damage every time a wheel crosses it. Filling it ends that cycle while it is still a straightforward job.
What we can’t put right
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job
- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling
- Slab panels that rock or move under load
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Joints along racking aisles
