On site: what to expect
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. Several jobs near Great Notley can be grouped on one trip. Tell us your site hours and we will plan around them.
- First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.
- We point out joints whose edges need repairing first.
- We clear each run back to clean concrete.
- We fill the joints with the agreed product, finished level.
- You get a time for each zone to reopen.
Before we start on site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Related advice
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, which is what makes a joint last.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Questions we are asked in Great Notley
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Braintree Community Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is Concord Farm Business Centre, near Great Notley, within your area?
Yes. We cover Great Notley and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Concord Farm Business Centre. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
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. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Which is better for warehouse joints, filler or sealant?
The answer comes from the traffic and the joint’s movement. Trafficked joints on truck routes usually need a semi-rigid filler to support the edges, while joints that move more take a flexible sealant.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Can the warehouse stay open while you work?
We phase it. Areas are taken out of use a section at a time around the site hours and access windows you give us.
What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Which sealant the job calls for
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What to include in your enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Any specification or named product
- Your programme or deadline
- The postcode of the building
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Common problems we fix in Great Notley
Soft sealant in a heavily trafficked joint gives the edges little support, so the concrete still breaks beside it. It can go the other way too: a rigid fill in a joint that is still opening cracks or debonds.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Untidy open joints in a retail unit
- Flexible sealant torn out by wheels
- Brittle joint filler breaking up
- Chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes
For an estate such as Braintree Community Hospital, 1.4 miles to the north-east of Great Notley, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.

What the job involves on each surface
Semi-rigid joint fillers
A semi-rigid filler is stiff enough to hold the arrises up when wheels cross. They allow only small movement, so they suit joints where most shrinkage has already happened.
Retail and showroom floors
Retail joints see trolleys, footfall and scrubber-driers. The product is chosen for that traffic and the appearance is part of the brief.

Floors, slabs and movement joints in Great Notley
Great Notley 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 winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint. The 3 miles around Great Notley take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment.
For buildings at a park such as Concord Farm Business Centre (1.1 miles west of Great Notley), brick and panel movement joints are easy to forget until one leaks. Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Springwood Industrial Estate (1.6 miles north of Great Notley): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time.
