How we handle floor joint sealing in Durfold Wood
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. A properly filled joint carries the wheel over and protects both arrises, which is kinder to trucks, loads and operators. Most enquiries involve broken arrises where pallet trucks cross and sealant pulled out along a truck route, across saw-cut induced joints, forklift and pallet-truck routes and retail and showroom floors. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Durfold Wood tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.

Questions about Durfold Wood
Is a smaller place like Durfold Wood outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Does a site in Durfold Wood have to shut while its joints are sealed?
Typically not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we’ll plan from there.
Is colour matching possible?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
How long do sealant joints 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.
What guarantee do you give on joint filling?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and the work is covered by public liability insurance.
Will we need to close the floor?
We phase it. Areas are taken out of use a section at a time around the site hours and access windows you give us.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Surface by surface
Loading bays and dock areas
We normally work through dock areas a few bays at a time so goods in and out carry on. Your site hours and access windows set the order.
Semi-rigid joint fillers
Semi-rigid fillers are designed to support joint edges under hard wheels. They allow only small movement, so they suit joints where most shrinkage has already happened.
Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Start with the dock areas, where joints fail soonest
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
- Hold traffic back until the product has cured
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
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. Once the first piece is out, wheels drop further and hit harder so early treatment saves a lot of trouble.
General trades versus a specialist
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.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
On site: what to expect
At the end of each section, 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. Jobs in and around smaller places like Durfold Wood are typically planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- 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.
- We extract the dust and prime the faces if the product needs it.
- Filler or sealant is placed to depth and finished flush.
- Zones reopen once cured and the work moves on.
Getting the site ready
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

When to call us in Durfold Wood
Loading bay joints are exposed to wind, wet tyres and bigger temperature swings, as well as the tightest turning loads. They are often the first on a site to break down.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Dock area joints that have failed first
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
- Flexible sealant torn out by wheels
- Trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints
Sites like Haslemere and District Hospital (to the west of Durfold Wood) carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints.
