How a job runs
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work usually takes a day or more, depending on the metres of joint and how many zones the floor is split into, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Jobs in and around smaller places like Crockleford Heath are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.
- Any joints with broken edges are flagged before work starts.
- Failed material and debris are removed and the joint cleaned.
- The chosen filler or sealant goes in flush with the slab.
- You get a time for each zone to reopen.
What we need from you
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Common questions from Crockleford Heath clients
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Colchester General Hospital, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is Crockleford Heath too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
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.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Can you fill joints where the arrises have spalled?
A filler needs sound edges to grip. We’ll tell you if the joint edges need repairing first and set out how that affects the job.
What guarantee do you give on joint filling?
Every job has our 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later slab movement or damage from impacts.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.

What else we do in Crockleford Heath
How the job changes by surface
Retail and showroom floors
Shop and showroom floors often have exposed slab joints, especially with polished or coated concrete. We aim for a tidy, flush finish that suits the floor and confirm which colours the product comes in.
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Main aisles and cross routes carry the most wheel movements and the joints on them break down first. Semi-rigid fillers are widely used on these routes to hold the edges up.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
There’s also the paperwork. 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.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Aftercare for building managers
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
- Hold traffic back until the product has cured
- Make joint checks part of your floor inspections
Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets along the floor. Even a well-filled joint can be damaged by steel scraping along it if it keeps happening.
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.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Crockleford Heath?
A slab keeps shrinking for a long time after it is cast, and saw-cut joints give that shrinkage a planned place to crack. Each panel pulls back as it shrinks and the joints open up so a filler put in early may separate along one side.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Loading bay joints breaking down
- Grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor
- A rough ride across broken joints
- Flexible sealant torn out by wheels
A campus such as University of Essex, 1.7 miles south-west of Crockleford Heath, has long runs of movement joint in its buildings, decks and paving.
