Doing it in-house
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.

After the work
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Expect fillers on young slabs to need a top-up
- Let us know what the floor is cleaned with
- Put loading bays at the top of the list
- Photograph any joint that starts to chip
Young concrete carries on shrinking, so some fillers part slightly from one face. It is a known trait of new floors and a later top-up deals with it in most cases.
Every day an open joint stays full of grit, the edges take more punishment. Filling it ends that cycle while it is still a straightforward job.

Our process
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. For work around Daws Heath, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- We agree the traffic routes and phasing with your site team.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

Common questions from Daws Heath clients
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Chartwell Private 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.
Does a coastal location like Daws Heath affect which sealant is used?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Can the warehouse stay open while you work?
Usually only the zone we are working in has to close. Each zone reopens when the product can take traffic, then we move to the next.
Which is better for warehouse joints, filler or sealant?
The answer comes from the traffic and the joint’s movement. Trafficked joints on truck routes typically need a semi-rigid filler to support the edges and joints with more movement take a flexible sealant.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes a day for smaller units, with bigger warehouse floors programmed over several visits. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
When can forklifts run over new joint filler?
Each product has its own cure time, and cold floors slow it down. Phasing is planned with that in mind.
Will you just go over the old 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.
