Why it’s worth doing now in Emery Down
Some runs only need partial renewal or topping up. If old material is sound on one face and only a fine gap has opened, it may not all have to come out and the quote shows which approach suits each run. Around Emery Down, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

How we handle floor joint sealing in Emery Down
Sometimes the concrete either side of a joint has already spalled. A filler laid against broken edges has nothing sound to grip, so if the edges need repair before any filling, we’ll say so and leave that decision with you. We work on forklift and pallet-truck routes, saw-cut induced joints and retail and showroom floors, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are untidy open joints in a retail unit and soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Emery Down? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Emery Down have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Sending details for a quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:

- When you need the work done
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with what you know.
Floors, slabs and movement joints in Emery Down
Rainfall across the South East, Emery Down included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.
For a school such as St Michael and All Angels CofE Infant School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays. For an estate such as Ashurst Hospital, which lies north-east of Emery Down, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.

Our process
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. Jobs in and around smaller places like Emery Down are usually planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Each area is assessed for joint width, arris damage and the wheels that cross it.
- The quote fixes the price, names the filler or sealant and shows how the floor will be zoned.
- Each joint is cleared of old fill and dirt and taken back to clean, sound edges.
- We vacuum each run and prime it if the chosen product requires a primer.
- The chosen product is placed to its specified depth and trimmed level with the floor.
- Each phase reopens when the product is ready for wheels, then we start the next.
Getting the site ready
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Doing it in-house
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Maintenance after handover
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
- Make joint checks part of your floor inspections
Keep traffic off fresh joints until the time we give you, and it’s worth enforcing. In a busy building, barriers keep early traffic away.
Grit in an open joint does damage every time a wheel crosses it. Filling it ends that cycle while it is still a straightforward job.

Questions we are asked in Emery Down
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Ashurst Hospital?
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.
Will our site in Emery Down have to close for joint sealing?
Typically not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
How long before trucks can use the joints?
Each product has its own cure time and cooler floors take longer. We plan the phasing so that waiting time fits your operation.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Do you guarantee industrial floor joints?
Every job has our 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later slab movement or damage from impacts.
