Common questions from Cranham clients
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we will plan accordingly.
Would you work within a site like Hartswood Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Can you fill joints where the arrises have spalled?
Edge condition is recorded when we look at the floor. Damaged edges are flagged up front so the filling isn’t wasted.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Should floor joints be filled or sealed?
We decide joint by joint. Where hard wheels cross, a semi-rigid filler is normally right and perimeter or movement joints need flexibility. You will see the choice for each area in the quote.
Can you phase floor joint work around operations?
Usually only the zone we are working in has to close. Traffic returns to each zone once it has cured, then we move to the next.

Areas such as a loading bay or car park deck in Cranham typically have to stay in use. We work through joints a section at a time, closing small areas in turn, at times agreed with the building manager.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Joints that move: notes for Cranham
Two named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Cranham. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment. In London, decks, bays and service yards normally have to keep running, which is why we work a few bays at a time.
If you manage units on an estate such as Childerditch Industrial Park, 2.6 miles north-east of Cranham, the floor joints under forklifts and pallet trucks and the slab joints in the yard are the ones to watch. Access in Cranham needs thought: the ULEZ covers all of Greater London, and loading and parking are rarely simple.

Diagnose, treat, sign off

Advice
Common problems we fix in Cranham
Unfilled joints soon pack with grit, shrink-wrap scraps and pallet splinters. That debris is hard and levers at the edges as wheels pass, speeding up the damage.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Open saw cuts full of debris
- Trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints
- Cracked and crumbling joint fill
- Grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor
In a school such as Hall Mead School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
What to look for in a quote
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- How the existing material will be dealt with
Why act early in Cranham
Some runs only need partial renewal or topping up. If old material is sound on one face and only a fine gap has opened, it may not all have to come out, and we will say which joints need what. Failed sealant in a building in Cranham can quickly affect neighbours, tenants or the floor below: water travels through shared structures, and a small leak becomes a dispute between occupiers. Dealing with it early is simpler for everyone.
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.

Keeping the joints sound
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Keep grit out of unfilled joints in the meantime
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
- Remind operators to lift rather than drag
Walk the main truck routes every few months and look along the joint lines. Watch for filler pulling away from an edge, fresh chipping or grit collecting, and photograph anything that changes.
Grit in an open joint does damage every time a wheel crosses it. Getting it filled stops the damage before it becomes a repair.

When to bring in a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Spalled arrises, which need an edge repair first
- Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds
- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Construction joints
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Retail and showroom floors
- Loading bays
