About our floor joint sealing in Dorking
Forklifts and pallet trucks are hard on open joints. Every pass chips at the bare concrete edge, and over time a neat cut turns into a ragged channel. Filling the joint properly gives the edges back their support. It also smooths the route for drivers and stock. If you’re dealing with dock area joints that have failed first and drivers complaining about joints on a route, we can help, on loading bays, retail and showroom floors and construction joints alike. Most enquiries from Dorking start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
In Dorking, as in most towns, brickwork and panel movement joints on public and commercial buildings age quietly. Once the sealant hardens or splits, water gets into the wall and the joint no longer works.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

What the job involves on each surface
Retail and showroom floors
In retail, joints take trolleys, castors and cleaning machines rather than forklifts. The product is chosen for that traffic and the finish matters as much as the performance.
Flexible floor sealants
Flexible floor sealants come in several colours, and we will confirm what the specified product offers.
Our process
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Most work in Dorking is one building at a time: a school, a unit, an office or a block. Your photos, drawings or a site visit come first, followed by a fixed quote.
- First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.
- We point out joints whose edges need repairing first.
- We clear each run back to clean concrete.
- We fill the joints with the agreed product, finished level.
- Each area is handed back when ready for traffic.
Getting the site ready
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
Getting a fixed quote
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.

Quoting for work in Dorking
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- The total length or number of joints
- Any access equipment needed
- Phasing around occupants
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What to include in your enquiry
However big the job, the same details help:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- When you need the work done
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Floors, slabs and movement joints in Dorking
The 3 miles around Dorking take in two named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment. Central London is about 21 miles from Dorking. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift.
Large sites such as Dorking Community Hospital, less than half a mile south-west of Dorking, have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels. For buildings at a park such as Glebelands Centre Business Park (less than half a mile west of Dorking), brick and panel movement joints are easy to forget until one leaks. At places like Chapel Lane Industrial Estate, which lies west of Dorking, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.

Leave it or put it right?
Painting or coating straight over joints rarely lasts. The joints have to be filled or sealed as joints before or alongside any coating work. Many buildings in towns like Dorking have been extended or altered, and joints where old meets new tend to fail first. Resealing them early protects the building behind.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

Questions about Dorking
Will you take on work at estates like Glebelands Centre Business Park, close to Dorking?
Yes, sites like Glebelands Centre Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Dorking. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Dorking Community Hospital, something you do?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can you send site paperwork?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Do you cover Dorking?
Yes. Dorking falls within our area, and you can call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to get started.
Which is better for warehouse joints, filler or sealant?
We decide joint by joint. Where hard wheels cross, a semi-rigid filler is typically right, and movement joints or perimeters need something flexible. You will see the choice for each area in the quote.
Can you fill joints where the arrises have spalled?
A filler needs sound edges to grip. We will tell you if the joint edges need repairing first and set out how that affects the job.
Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Start with the dock areas, where joints fail soonest
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
- Let us know what the floor is cleaned with
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
Keep traffic off fresh joints until the time we give you and it pays to stick to it. Cones or barriers stop the first driver cutting the corner.
Edges tend to break slowly at first, then quickly. Each chip makes the drop deeper and the next impact harder, so it pays to act at the first signs.
