Advice
Floor joint sealing in Hareplain
A working floor can rarely be closed for days on end, so the work is split into zones and treated one area at a time. Share your site hours and access windows and the programme is built around them, with goods still moving in the areas we aren’t in. We work on construction joints, forklift and pallet-truck routes and saw-cut induced joints, and what we are called in for most is untidy open joints in a retail unit and failing joints at loading bays and dock doors.

Jobs around smaller places like Hareplain are planned so the whole job is done in one visit. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we’ll take it from there.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Cost factors for floor joints
These are the things that shape the price:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Phasing around occupants
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The postcode of the building
- What the building is and how it’s used
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, 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.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
- Tell us about strong cleaning chemicals before we quote
- Walk the main routes and inspect joint lines on a regular cycle
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
Young concrete carries on shrinking, so some fillers part slightly from one face. That is common and is usually dealt with by topping up once the slab has settled down.
Edges tend to break slowly at first, then quickly. Each chip makes the drop deeper and the next impact harder, so it pays to act at the first signs.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Hareplain?
A slab keeps shrinking for a long time after it is cast, and saw-cut joints give that shrinkage a planned place to crack. Each panel pulls back as it shrinks and the joints open up so a filler put in early may separate along one side.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints
- Dock area joints that have failed first
- Unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
In and around Hareplain, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.

Floors, slabs and movement joints in Hareplain
Hareplain is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. 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. Hareplain is about 40 miles from central London. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors.
Hospital campuses such as Benenden Hospital, 2.7 miles to the south of Hareplain, grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.
Hareplain is about 10 miles south of Maidstone, in Kent. Hareplain sits inside our coverage and the rest of Kent, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else.

Leave it or put it right?
Tape, or whatever sealant is in the stores cupboard, may look like a fix for a while. None of it is designed for wheel loads and traffic soon pulls it out. A product chosen for the traffic and movement does the job once. Halls, stores and units around places like Hareplain may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
A quote for floor joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Ask us for a fixed quote.

FAQs: Hareplain
Can you work on a hospital site such as Benenden Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Do we have to stop operations in Hareplain while the joints are sealed?
In most cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Is Hareplain in your area?
Yes. Sites across Hareplain are covered, and the same phone number covers every area.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work normally takes anything from a day for one loading bay to several days for a large floor, split into phases. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
