Common questions from Dibden Purlieu clients
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Hythe Hospital, something you do?
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.
Can being near the sea in Dibden Purlieu affect the sealant we need?
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.
Why has the filler pulled away from one side?
Separation usually comes from slab shrinkage, poor preparation or the wrong product. We diagnose the cause before suggesting a fix.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
About our floor joint sealing in Dibden Purlieu
Few warehouses can shut a whole floor while joints are done, so we phase the work aisle by aisle or bay by bay. Share your site hours and access windows and the programme is built around them, with goods still moving in the areas we aren’t in. Site teams most often ask us about open saw cuts full of debris and failing joints at loading bays and dock doors, on joints along racking aisles, retail and showroom floors and forklift and pallet-truck routes. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Dibden Purlieu, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In a smaller place such as Dibden Purlieu, floor and movement joints are often in agricultural and rural business units, schools and the odd small industrial yard. Concrete floors and yards in these buildings move and crack like any others.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
What sealant work can’t fix
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Wide or random cracking that suggests a structural issue
- Unstable slabs moving under traffic
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Retail and showroom floors
- Loading bays
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Construction joints
- Joints along racking aisles
- Saw-cut induced joints
What happens if it’s left?
Every jolt over a broken joint passes into the truck, the load and the driver. That means extra wear on wheels and a rougher ride for staff, which nobody budgets for. A filled joint takes most of that out. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

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 normally takes a day for smaller units, with bigger warehouse floors programmed over several visits, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Dibden Purlieu need work too, visits can be combined. Mention the building’s opening times and we will work within them.
- 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.
- Each joint is cut or routed back to clean, sound concrete.
- Dust is vacuumed out and primer applied where specified.
- Filler or sealant is placed to depth and finished flush.
- Zones reopen once cured and the work moves on.
Preparing the site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Move anything stored against the joints

Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Keep grit out of unfilled joints in the meantime
- Expect fillers on young slabs to need a top-up
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
- Remind operators to lift rather than drag
We will give you a time before trucks can run over the new joints and it pays to stick to it. Cones or barriers stop the first driver cutting the corner.
Every vehicle on a busy aisle hits a damaged joint. Early treatment protects wheels, loads and drivers as much as the floor.

Common problems we fix in Dibden Purlieu
Small, hard wheels put a lot of load through a very small area. Where a joint is open, the wheel dips and strikes the far edge and those knocks chip the edge apart bit by bit.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
- Cracked and crumbling joint fill
- Chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes
- Joint fill separating from the concrete
If you manage units on an estate such as Hardley Industrial Estate, 1.3 miles to the south-east of Dibden Purlieu, the floor joints under forklifts and pallet trucks and the slab joints in the yard are the ones to watch.
