Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
- Clear packed debris from open joints regularly
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
- 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.
Grit in an open joint does damage every time a wheel crosses it. Getting it filled stops the damage while it is still a straightforward job.
Floor joint sealing in Fingest, done properly
It isn’t only heavy industry. Retail units, showrooms and trade counters have slab joints crossed by trolleys, footfall and cleaning machines, where a gappy, dirty joint looks untidy and snags castors. A flush, well-finished joint tidies the whole floor. We work on joints along racking aisles, forklift and pallet-truck routes and retail and showroom floors, and the failures we are asked to look at most are loading bay joints breaking down and cracked and crumbling joint fill.

In and around smaller places like Fingest, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Cost factors for floor joints
To price the job, we consider:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- The total length or number of joints
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Any access equipment needed
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
Details that help us quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- The product your specification calls for
- Any dates the work must fit around
To get a fixed quote, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. You can also send details through our quote form.
Owners, agents and contractors
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
FAQs: Fingest
Would you work within a site like Wycombe 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.
Do we have to stop operations in Fingest while the joints are sealed?
Usually 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.
Do you guarantee industrial floor joints?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and the work is covered by public liability insurance.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
Can you fill joints where the arrises have spalled?
Edge condition is recorded when we look at the floor. Damaged edges are flagged up front so the filling isn’t wasted.
Can the warehouse stay open while you work?
In most cases, just the area being treated is coned off. Traffic returns to each zone once it has cured and the next zone follows.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Fingest
At about 35 miles from central London, Fingest is within reach of the capital. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift. Rainfall across the South East, Fingest included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.
For an estate such as Wycombe Hospital (5.4 miles east of Fingest), the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time. In a school such as Cadmore End CofE School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.

How the job changes by surface
Saw-cut induced joints
Most of the joints in a warehouse floor are saw cuts. Each one is cleaned out and filled to the specified depth, finishing flush with the slab.
Loading bays and dock areas
At loading bays, product choice has to suit the loads, the temperature and the wet. Phasing is planned around your delivery schedule.
