How we handle floor joint sealing in Forstal
Some joints reach us with their edges already broken. Filling against a crumbled arris won’t hold for long, so if the edges need repair before any filling, we will say so and leave that decision with you. The enquiries we see most involve a rough ride across broken joints and failing joints at loading bays and dock doors, across forklift and pallet-truck routes, retail and showroom floors and saw-cut induced joints. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Forstal, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Jobs around smaller places like Forstal are planned so the whole job is done in one visit, with the right materials on hand. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we will take it from there.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Our process
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we are cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. Jobs in and around smaller places like Forstal are normally planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- First comes a walk of the floor to record joint sizes, broken edges and traffic routes.
- 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.
- The area is handed back once it has cured enough to take traffic.
What we need from you
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Agree which areas must stay open

If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.

Common questions from Forstal clients
Is Forstal too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Forstal are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Does your area include sites such as Mid Kent Shopping Centre, near Forstal?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Forstal, Mid Kent Shopping Centre among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
How do we get a quote for floor joints?
Approximate metres of joint, photographs of typical and worst areas, and a floor plan let us give a quick quote. For larger floors, a site visit is often best, and you can call 01277 525 020 or email the details over to arrange it.
Why is there a gap next to the joint filler?
On newer slabs, the concrete keeps shrinking after the joints are filled and a stiff filler can separate down one side. It is usually dealt with by topping up.
Cost factors for floor joints
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Phasing around occupants
- The product specified
- Travel to remote or island sites
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Before you send an enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Specification clauses that apply
- The type of building and who uses it
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or call 01277 525 020 or email us to discuss it first.
How the job changes by surface
Loading bays and dock areas
Joints at dock doors need a product that copes with the traffic and the conditions. Curing times also have to fit around deliveries.
Retail and showroom floors
Shop and showroom floors often have exposed slab joints, especially with polished or coated concrete. We aim for a tidy, flush finish that suits the floor and confirm which colours the product comes in.
Owners, agents and contractors
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.

When to call us in Forstal
Oil, laitance, dust and old cleaning chemicals build up inside joints. Without cutting back to sound, clean concrete the new filler can’t stay bonded.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
- Grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor
- Trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints
- Filler that has parted from one face
Schools such as St Peter's Church of England Primary School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Their public liability cover
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Keep grit out of unfilled joints in the meantime
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
- Photograph any joint that starts to chip
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
Dragged forks and pallets gouge joints and edges alike. Even a well-filled joint can be damaged by steel scraping along it if it keeps happening.
Edges tend to break slowly at first, then quickly. Each chip makes the drop deeper and the next impact harder so early treatment saves a lot of trouble.
