Common questions from Fordwich clients
Can you work on a hospital site such as Saint Martin's Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can you work at a site such as Buddy's Retail Park, by Fordwich?
Yes. We cover Fordwich and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Buddy's Retail Park. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is it normal for joint filler to separate?
On newer slabs, the concrete keeps shrinking after the joints are filled, so a semi-rigid filler can part from one face. A top-up normally puts it right.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
Which is better for warehouse joints, filler or sealant?
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 will see the choice for each area in the quote.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
What guarantee do you give on joint filling?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we hold public liability insurance.
About our floor joint sealing in Fordwich
Not every floor joint we treat is in a warehouse. Shops, showrooms and trade counters have joints that take trolleys, foot traffic and scrubber-driers, where a gappy, dirty joint looks untidy and snags castors. A flush, well-finished joint tidies the whole floor. The enquiries we see most involve brittle joint filler breaking up and dock area joints that have failed first, across saw-cut induced joints, construction joints and loading bays. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Fordwich? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Around smaller places such as Fordwich, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will arrange a return visit.

After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Let us know what the floor is cleaned with
- Walk the main routes and inspect joint lines on a regular cycle
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
- Remind operators to lift rather than drag
Walk the main truck routes every few months and look along the joint lines. Look for separation down one side, new chips in the arris and debris gathering, and photograph anything that changes.
Joints are easiest to look after when someone checks them regularly. A phased plan, worst routes first, spreads the work out and keeps on top of the rest.
What we can’t put right
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds
- A floor that rocks at the joints, which needs a structural fix
- A floor that is out of level for the racking or trucks
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Retail and showroom floors

What sets the cost
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Working within restricted access windows
- Joint width, depth and condition
A quote for floor joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you are working to. Call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The type of building and who uses it
- The postcode of the building
- Specification clauses that apply
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.

At a retail site such as Buddy's Retail Park, 0.9 miles north-west of Fordwich, joints in car parks, service yards and sales floors carry cars, cages and trolleys every day.

How the job changes by surface
Retail and showroom floors
In retail, joints take trolleys, castors and cleaning machines rather than forklifts. We pick a filler or sealant to suit and the appearance is part of the brief.
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
A route joint has to take repeated wheel strikes without breaking up. Wheel type and traffic level steer the product choice.
