Finished floor joints in Cutlers Green carry our 12-month guarantee. We work on construction joints, forklift and pallet-truck routes and retail and showroom floors, and what we’re called in for most is saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit and soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints.

Questions about Cutlers Green
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Saffron Walden Community Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is a smaller place like Cutlers Green outside your area?
No. Places such as Cutlers Green are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Is it normal for joint filler to separate?
Young concrete carries on shrinking for a long time and a stiff filler can separate down one side. It is usually dealt with by topping up.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
What we can’t put right
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Joint edges that have already broken away, which need repairing before filling (we will tell you if so)
- A floor that is out of level for the racking or trucks
- A floor that rocks at the joints, which needs a structural fix
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Construction joints
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Retail and showroom floors
- Joints along racking aisles
- Loading bays
Looking after the joints
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Start with the dock areas, where joints fail soonest
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
- Remind operators to lift rather than drag
- Make joint checks part of your floor inspections
Dragged forks and pallets gouge joints and edges alike. Even a well-filled joint can be damaged by steel scraping along it if it keeps happening.
Joint damage starts slowly and then speeds up. Each chip makes the drop deeper and the next impact harder so early treatment saves a lot of trouble.
What happens if it’s left?
A floor coating laid over open joints soon cracks along the joint lines. The joints have to be filled or sealed as joints, whether or not the floor is coated. Older rural buildings around Cutlers Green move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

What we need to price the job

Traffic, movement and joints around Cutlers Green
At about 36 miles from central London, Cutlers Green is within reach of the capital. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, while winter salting gets into any joint left open.
For a school such as Thaxted Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.

What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
- Joint fill separating from the concrete
- Brittle joint filler breaking up
