Floor joint sealing in Five Wents
Floor joint sealing for us covers warehouse aisles, loading bays, production halls, retail floors and showroom slabs. Pricing depends on the length of joint, how worn the edges are and when we can get in and the figure is fixed before work begins. We work on retail and showroom floors, construction joints and loading bays, and what we are called in for most is loading bay joints breaking down and a rough ride across broken joints. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Five Wents, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In and around smaller places like Five Wents, 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.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

What else we do in Five Wents
Work for main contractors and building owners
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.

From enquiry to sign-off
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. Rural sites near Five Wents may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.
- 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.
- Each area is handed back when ready for traffic.
Preparing the site
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

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 photographs and a few notes.
Advice
After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Clear packed debris from open joints regularly
- Photograph any joint that starts to chip
- Remind operators to lift rather than drag
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
Dragged forks and pallets gouge joints and edges alike. Even a well-filled joint can be damaged by steel scraping along it.
While the concrete edges are intact, it’s a filling job. After the edges go, repairs come into it and that takes longer and closes areas for longer.
Common questions from Five Wents clients
Is Park Wood Trading Estate, near Five Wents, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Five Wents and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Park Wood Trading Estate included. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like KIMS hospital, something you do?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
When can forklifts run over new joint filler?
Each product has its own cure time and cooler floors take longer. We plan the phasing so that waiting time fits your operation.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
What happens if it’s left?
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. Converted and older buildings near places like Five Wents tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
A quote for floor joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Five Wents?
Joints near dock doors see colder air, rain blown in and water off vehicles on top of the heaviest turning movements. That is typically where joint failure starts.
Look out for the following:
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
- Cracked and crumbling joint fill
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
- Joint fill separating from the concrete
For an occupier at a site such as Park Wood Trading Estate, 1.4 miles north-west of Five Wents, the joints at loading doors and dock levellers typically see the hardest wear.
What your quote should include
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- What site paperwork they can supply
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
Should maintenance staff do it?
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
