Floor joint sealing near East Malling
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Expect fillers on young slabs to need a top-up
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
Young concrete carries on shrinking, so some fillers part slightly from one face. That is common and is typically dealt with by topping up once the slab has settled down.
Joint damage starts slowly and then speeds up. Each chip makes the drop deeper and the next impact harder, so it pays to act at the first signs.
Floor joint sealing for commercial buildings in East Malling
It isn’t only heavy industry. Shops, showrooms and trade counters have joints that take trolleys, foot traffic and scrubber-driers, where a gappy, dirty joint looks untidy and snags castors. A flush, well-finished joint tidies the whole floor. If you are dealing with grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor and loading bay joints breaking down, we can put it right, on joints along racking aisles, forklift and pallet-truck routes and saw-cut induced joints alike. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in East Malling from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Around places the size of East Malling, joints that need sealing tend to be in rural business units, farm buildings put to commercial use, schools and community buildings. Their slabs and walls still need movement joints that work.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application.

Cost factors for floor joints
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Access and working height
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Sending details for a quote
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- The product your specification calls for
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Access details, including height
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

Traffic, movement and joints around East Malling
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in. East Malling is about 27 miles from central London. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day.
Sites like Maidstone Hospital (2.6 miles south-east of East Malling) carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints. For estates staff at a university like University for the Creative Arts - Maidstone, 3.2 miles south-east of East Malling, building and paving joints are part of the planned maintenance list. Office parks like New Hythe Business Park (1.4 miles north-east of East Malling) have decks, ramps and clad elevations whose joints take movement every day.

Why act early in East Malling
An open joint is a modest filling job while its edges are sound. Wait until the edges have spalled and the concrete needs repairing before the joint can be filled, with longer closures to match. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.

Your questions answered
Will you take on work at estates like New Hythe Business Park, close to East Malling?
Yes. Our area takes in East Malling and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as New Hythe Business Park included. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Would you work within a site like Maidstone Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
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.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Do you use semi-rigid filler or flexible sealant on floor joints?
There isn’t one answer for a whole floor. Hard wheels need edge support, which points to a semi-rigid filler and perimeter or movement joints need flexibility. You will see the choice for each area in the quote.
Do you guarantee industrial floor joints?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we hold public liability insurance.
How the job changes by surface
Loading bays and dock areas
Bays can be treated one or two at a time so goods in and out carry on. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Saw-cut induced joints
A sawn joint left open soon packs with debris and chips at the edges. Filling them early keeps them tidy and protects the edges.
