How a job runs
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work usually takes a day or more, depending on the metres of joint and how many zones the floor is split into. Rural sites near Farley Hill may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- We agree the traffic routes and phasing with your site team.
- Any joints with broken edges are flagged before work starts.
- We clear each run back to clean concrete.
- The chosen filler or sealant goes in flush with the slab.
- You get a time for each zone to reopen.
Before we start on site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Let building users know which areas are affected

How we handle floor joint sealing in Farley Hill
Concrete floors in warehouses and factories are cut into bays with saw cuts and day joints, and each joint line is a weak edge that wheels run over all day. We fill or seal them with a product matched to the traffic and the movement, so the arrises are supported and grit stays out. Site teams most often ask us about cracked and crumbling joint fill and sealant pulled out along a truck route, across forklift and pallet-truck routes, joints along racking aisles and construction joints. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Farley Hill from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
For a site near Farley Hill, measurements and photographs up front mean one trip where possible. Tell us the joint widths if you can, and what drives or walks over them.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

FAQs: Farley Hill
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Wokingham Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is Farley Hill too far out for you?
Not at all. Farley Hill is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Will you just go over the old 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.
Can you fill joints where the arrises have spalled?
We check the edges as part of the survey. Damaged edges are flagged up front so the filling isn’t wasted.
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 movement joints or perimeters need something flexible. You’ll see the choice for each area in the quote.
Do you guarantee industrial floor joints?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and the work is covered by public liability insurance.
What information helps you price floor joint sealing?
Approximate metres of joint, photos of typical and worst areas, and a floor plan let us give a quick quote. We can visit where that helps, and you can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to arrange it.
Common problems we fix in Farley Hill
Unfilled joints soon pack with grit, shrink-wrap scraps and pallet splinters. Packed debris acts like a wedge every time a wheel crosses, speeding up the damage.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Open saw cuts full of debris
- Filler that has parted from one face
- Untidy open joints in a retail unit
- A rough ride across broken joints
In a school such as Farley Hill Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.

When to bring in a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Honest limits
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job
- Wide or random cracking that suggests a structural issue
- Level or flatness problems across the floor
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal

Cost factors for floor joints
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Phasing around occupants
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What we need to price the job
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- The postcode of the building
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos if you’d rather talk the job through.

After the work
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Expect fillers on young slabs to need a top-up
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
- Hold traffic back until the product has cured
- Clear packed debris from open joints regularly
Once cured, the joints get cleaned along with the slab. If you use strong chemicals or hot-water washing, mention it when we quote so the product suits them.
Joints are easiest to look after when someone checks them regularly. A phased plan, worst routes first, spreads the work out so nothing is left to fail.
