Floor joint sealing for Gosmore sites
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
- Photograph any joint that starts to chip
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
Problems inside the 12-month guarantee period are ours to put right. Beyond that, an inspection once or twice a year catches failing joints early.
While the concrete edges are intact, it’s a filling job. After the edges go, repairs come into it, with more downtime and more disruption.
Floor joint sealing in Gosmore, done properly
For sites in Gosmore and across Hertfordshire, the process is short: you send details, we send a fixed quote, the joints are done and the 12-month guarantee follows. A rough length of joint, photos of the worst areas and a site plan let us give a quick quote, or we can arrange a site visit. If you have trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints and unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit, we can put it right. Whoever orders the work in Gosmore, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Gosmore have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

What else we do in Gosmore
Your questions answered
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Pinehill Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Does a site in Gosmore have to shut while its joints are sealed?
In most cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Is Gosmore in your area?
Yes. We cover Gosmore. To discuss a job, phone 01277 525 020 or email us.
Do you guarantee industrial floor joints?
A 12-month guarantee covers the work we do. It covers our workmanship, not later slab movement or damage from impacts.
General trades versus a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
How a job runs
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. For a building around Gosmore, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- 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.
- We remove failed material and packed debris until sound concrete is exposed on both faces.
- Dust is sucked out of the joint and a primer used if the product data sheet asks for one.
- The chosen product is placed to its specified depth and trimmed level with the floor.
- Each phase reopens when the product is ready for wheels, then we start the next.
Getting the site ready
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Where floor joints take the most wear near Gosmore
Gosmore sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints. Central London is about 31 miles from Gosmore. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift.
Schools such as St Ippolyts Church of England Aided Primary School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook. Hospitals like Pinehill Hospital (to the north of Gosmore) have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock.

What the job involves on each surface
Semi-rigid joint fillers
If a joint is still opening, a semi-rigid filler may part from one face. A later top-up normally puts that right, and we will explain it when we quote.
Flexible floor sealants
Polyurethane sealants suit floor joints with larger movement. They don’t hold the arrises up as firmly as a semi-rigid fill, so they suit lighter traffic or movement joints.
