Floor joint sealing in Dunn Street, done properly
Not every floor joint we treat is in a warehouse. Retail units, showrooms and trade counters have slab joints crossed by trolleys, footfall and cleaning machines, and an open, grimy joint line looks poor as well as catching wheels. A flush, well-finished joint tidies the whole floor. Site teams most often ask us about filler that has parted from one face and saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit, on loading bays, saw-cut induced joints and retail and showroom floors. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Dunn Street tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
For a site near Dunn Street, measurements and photographs up front mean one trip where possible, with the right materials on hand. Tell us the joint widths if you can, and what drives or walks over them.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Kent. Should something we installed fail, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll come back to it.

Leave it or put it right?
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, adding costs nobody plans for. A properly filled joint smooths the route. Converted and older buildings near places like Dunn Street tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Structural cracking in the slab
- Level or flatness problems across the floor
- Broken concrete either side of the joint
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Loading bays
- Retail and showroom floors
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Joints along racking aisles

Our process
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Smaller jobs around Dunn Street can be grouped with others nearby. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.
- We point out joints whose edges need repairing first.
- Failed material and debris are removed and the joint cleaned.
- We fill the joints with the agreed product, finished level.
- Each area is handed back when ready for traffic.
What we need from you
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Agree which areas must stay open
Quotes
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Advice
Questions we’re asked in Dunn Street
Is Dunn Street off your patch?
No. Places such as Dunn Street are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Spire Alexandra Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
That depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Should floor joints be filled or sealed?
It depends on the traffic and the movement. Forklift routes generally call for a semi-rigid filler that holds the arrises and joints with more movement take a flexible sealant.

What we are called out for in Dunn Street
Left open, joints fill with grit, wrap and wood fragments. That debris is hard and levers at the edges as wheels pass so the arrises break sooner.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Dock area joints that have failed first
- Grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor
- Old filler gone hard, cracked or loose
- Filler that has parted from one face
Campuses like University for the Creative Arts - Rochester, 4.4 miles north-west of Dunn Street, mix old and new buildings, with movement joints wherever they meet.

Surface by 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.
Saw-cut induced joints
Most of the joints in a warehouse floor are saw cuts. We clear them back to clean concrete and fill them to the depth the product calls for, finishing flush with the slab.
