Semi-rigid joint fillers
If a joint is still opening, a semi-rigid filler may part from one face. That is normally dealt with by topping up later and we will flag it at quote stage.
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.
From enquiry to sign-off
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. What matters most for a job in Harrietsham is a clear list of what needs doing, so send photos of each area. You will then get a fixed price for the work.
- We walk the floor and mark up joint widths, edge damage and traffic routes.
- You receive a fixed quote showing products and phasing.
- Old fill and packed debris come out until both faces are sound.
- Dust is vacuumed out and primer applied where specified.
- The joint is filled to its specified depth and trimmed level.
- Zones reopen once cured and the work moves on.

Advice
Floors, slabs and movement joints in Harrietsham
At about 38 miles from central London, Harrietsham is within reach of the capital. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.
University campuses such as Canterbury Christ Church University (to the north of Harrietsham) have car parks, paved walkways and building elevations with movement joints. Parks like Roebuck Business Park (to the west of Harrietsham) combine paved areas, car parks and building elevations, each with joints that move.
Harrietsham is about 7 miles east of Maidstone, in Kent. We send applicators to Harrietsham for floor joints. Across Kent, 931 places are covered, Harrietsham among them. Our London page has more on work in that area (38 miles or so).

Your questions answered
Is Harrietsham off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Does a site in Harrietsham 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.
Can you fill joints where the arrises have spalled?
Filling against broken edges doesn’t last. If the arrises have spalled, we’ll say they need repair before filling and set out how that affects the job.
What guarantee do you give on joint filling?
A 12-month guarantee covers the work we do. It covers our workmanship, not later slab movement or damage from impacts.
How soon can traffic go back on the floor?
The wait is set by the product’s cure time and cooler floors take longer. Phasing is planned with that in mind.
What do you need from us to quote?
Approximate metres of joint, photos of typical and worst areas, and a floor plan let us give a quick quote. We can visit where that helps, and you can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us to arrange it.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Maintenance after handover
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
- Expect fillers on young slabs to need a top-up
- Walk the main routes and inspect joint lines on a regular cycle
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
Dragged forks and pallets gouge joints and edges alike. Steel tines will mark a good joint over time.
While the concrete edges are intact, it’s a filling job. Once they have broken away, edge repair comes first, with more downtime and more disruption.
What happens if it’s left?
Not every joint needs stripping out completely. Where existing filler is well bonded and the gap beside it is small, a full strip-out isn’t always needed and the quote shows which approach suits each run. In a smaller place such as Harrietsham, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote when you’re ready.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Harrietsham?
Pallet-truck and forklift wheels concentrate weight on a tiny contact patch. Where a joint is open, the wheel dips and strikes the far edge and those knocks chip the edge apart bit by bit.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
- Grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
- Dock area joints that have failed first
For a school such as Harrietsham Church of England Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.
Before you book anyone
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- What site paperwork they can supply
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Worn screed or surface finishes
- Joint edges that have already broken away, which need repairing before filling (we’ll tell you if so)
- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
