- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit

How we handle floor joint sealing in Gallows Green
Concrete floors in warehouses and factories are cut into bays by saw-cut joints and construction joints, and each joint line is a weak edge that wheels run over all day. Our job is to put the right filler or sealant into them for the loads and the movement they see, so the arrises are supported and grit stays out. The enquiries we see most involve open saw cuts full of debris and a gap opening alongside old joint filler, on forklift and pallet-truck routes, saw-cut induced joints and loading bays. Most enquiries from Gallows Green start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Gallows Green have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Unstable slabs moving under traffic
- Spalled arrises, which need an edge repair first
- Structural cracking in the slab

How the job changes by surface
Flexible floor sealants
Where joints move more, a flexible polyurethane floor sealant is often used. They give less edge support than semi-rigid fillers so they are used where movement matters more than wheel load.
Saw-cut induced joints
Sawn joints make up most of the joint length in a typical industrial floor. Each one is cleaned out and filled to the specified depth with a flush finish.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
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.
How a job runs
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work normally takes a day or more, depending on the metres of joint and how many zones the floor is split into. Jobs in and around smaller places like Gallows Green are typically planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- A floor survey records every joint, its edges and what crosses it.
- The treatment and the zones are set out in a fixed quote.
- Old fill and packed debris come out until both faces are sound.
- We extract the dust and prime the faces if the product needs it.
- The joint is filled to its specified depth and trimmed level.
- Zones reopen once cured and the work moves on.
Before we start on site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

Questions we’re asked in Gallows Green
Is Gallows Green off your patch?
No. Places such as Gallows Green are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Does your area include sites such as Stane Retail Park, near Gallows Green?
Yes. Our area takes in Gallows Green and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Stane Retail Park included. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit usually takes a day or more, depending on the metres of joint and how many zones the floor is split into. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
