Floor joint sealing near Durrants
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Why act early in Durrants
Not every joint needs stripping out completely. Where existing filler is well bonded and the gap beside it is small, a full strip-out isn’t always needed, and we will say which joints need what. Older rural buildings around Durrants move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Why appoint us
- Products installed to the manufacturer’s instructions
- One phone line for London, the South East and Scotland
- Commercial sealant work since 2005
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job

How we handle floor joint sealing in Durrants
Few warehouses can shut a whole floor while joints are done, so the work is split into zones and treated one area at a time. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them, with goods still moving in the areas we aren’t in. If you have cracked and crumbling joint fill and a rough ride across broken joints, we can help, on joints along racking aisles, construction joints and saw-cut induced joints alike. Most enquiries from Durrants start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Durrants have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application.

Other services in Durrants
Work for main contractors and building owners
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
How the quote is worked out
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Phasing around occupants
- The total length or number of joints
- Removal of failed or old sealant
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Sending details for a quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Your programme or deadline
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The type of building and who uses it
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
Doing it in-house
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
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.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Durrants?
Pallet-truck and forklift wheels concentrate weight on a tiny contact patch. Crossing an open joint, the wheel drops and knocks the opposite arris, and repeated impacts break the concrete away.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Brittle joint filler breaking up
- Drivers complaining about joints on a route
- Dock area joints that have failed first
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
Across sites such as Central Retail Park (2.1 miles south-west of Durrants), floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
Your questions answered
Is Durrants too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Would you work within a site like Spire Hospital Portsmouth?
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 weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Why is there a gap next to the joint filler?
Young concrete carries on shrinking for a long time, so a semi-rigid filler can part from one face. It is normally dealt with by topping up.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Do you repair broken joint edges?
We check the edges as part of the survey. Where they have broken away, we will tell you before quoting the filling, so nothing is filled that won’t hold.
How long before trucks can use the joints?
Cure times vary with the product and the conditions. We’ll give you a time for each zone when we agree the phasing.
Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Durrants
Durrants is within about 3 miles of the coast. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, and edges left open tend to break up faster. Durrants is about 57 miles from central London. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors.
In a school such as Havant Academy, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. A healthcare site such as Spire Hospital Portsmouth, 1 mile to the south-east of Durrants, depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.

On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. For work around Durrants, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.

- The treatment and the zones are set out in a fixed quote.
- Old fill and packed debris come out until both faces are sound.
- We extract the dust and prime the faces if the product needs it.
- The joint is filled to its specified depth and trimmed level.
