How we handle floor joint sealing in Flete
Sometimes the concrete either side of a joint has already spalled. A filler laid against broken edges has nothing sound to grip, so we will tell you if the joint edges need repairing first and leave that decision with you. If you are dealing with failing joints at loading bays and dock doors and scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor, we can put it right. Whoever orders the work in Flete, the brief is typically the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Flete have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

When something else is needed
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job
- A floor that rocks at the joints, which needs a structural fix
- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think.

What else we do in Flete
Your questions answered
Would you work within a site like Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can you work at a site such as Westwood Industrial Estate, by Flete?
Yes. Our area takes in Flete and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Westwood Industrial Estate included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit typically takes between a day and a number of days, set by the joint lengths, the edge condition and the phasing you need. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Flete
With the shore within about 2 miles, Flete counts as a coastal location. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, and edges left open tend to break up faster. The 3 miles around Flete take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest.
Estates like Westwood Industrial Estate (to the east of Flete) combine warehouse slabs, yards and loading bays, all with joints under wheels. Schools like St Gregory's Catholic Primary School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.

On site: what to expect
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. If others near Flete need work, visits can be combined. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- Each area is assessed for joint width, arris damage and the wheels that cross it.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and the phasing set out.
- Old filler, debris and contamination are cut or routed out back to clean concrete.
- Dust is extracted from the joint and primer applied where the manufacturer specifies it.
- We fill each joint to depth and finish it flush so wheels roll straight across.
- We tell you when each zone can carry trucks again and move on to the next.
Preparing the site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Advice
Quoting for work in Flete
These are the things that shape the price:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- How much existing material needs removing
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Phasing around occupants
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What to include in your enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Your programme or deadline
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Access details, including height
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
What we are called out for in Flete
Small, hard wheels put a lot of load through a very small area. Where a joint is open, the wheel dips and strikes the far edge, and repeated impacts break the concrete away.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
- Brittle joint filler breaking up
Sites like Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother Hospital (to the north-east of Flete) carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints.

Work for main contractors and building owners
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Different surfaces, different methods
Saw-cut induced joints
Saw cuts are made soon after the slab is cast so shrinkage cracks follow a line. They are narrow but open up as the panels shrink so trafficked runs need a filler that holds the arrises.
Isolation joints at walls and columns
Joints around columns and along walls let the slab move without cracking against the structure. Something flexible normally suits them, not a stiff filler.
