How we handle floor joint sealing in Hartlip
We have been sealing commercial joints since 2005. Applicators carry CSCS cards and work to your site rules, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member holding public liability insurance. Completed joints come with a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. If you have broken arrises where pallet trucks cross and unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit, we can help. For commercial sealant work in Hartlip, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Hartlip have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Work for main contractors and building owners

FAQs: Hartlip
Does the sea air around Hartlip change the choice of sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Is Hartlip too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Hartlip is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you repair broken joint edges?
We check the edges as part of the survey. Damaged edges are flagged up front so the filling isn’t wasted.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Should floor joints be filled or sealed?
We decide joint by joint. Hard wheels need edge support, which points to a semi-rigid filler and perimeter or movement joints need flexibility. You will see the choice for each area in the quote.
When can forklifts run over new joint filler?
Cure times vary with the product and the conditions. We will give you a time for each zone before we start.
Why deal with it now?
Waiting for a site-wide shutdown often means the joints keep getting worse. Phased in zones, the busiest routes can be treated first while the rest of the floor carries on. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Hartlip, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Hartlip
A soft, flexible sealant on a forklift route can’t hold the arrises up, 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.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes
- Filler that has parted from one face
- Trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints
- Flexible sealant torn out by wheels
For an occupier at a site such as Newington Industrial Estate, 0.7 miles to the north-east of Hartlip, the joints at loading doors and dock levellers typically see the hardest wear.
What your quote should include
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
Honest limits
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds
- Level or flatness problems across the floor
- Joint edges that have already broken away, which need repairing before filling (we’ll tell you if so)
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Our process
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. For work around Hartlip, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- Each area is assessed for joint width, arris damage and the wheels that cross it.
- A fixed quote follows, listing the treatment for each area and the order of work.
- Old filler, debris and contamination are cut or routed out back to clean concrete.
- 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.
- The area is handed back once it has cured enough to take traffic.
What we need from you
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

What affects the price in Hartlip
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- The total length or number of joints
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What to include in your enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Your programme or deadline
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Access details, including height
- What the building is and how it’s used
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Traffic, movement and joints around Hartlip
With the shore within about 3 miles, Hartlip counts as a coastal location. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, which is why split joints are worth sealing before the edges deteriorate. At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Hartlip. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic.
In a school such as Hartlip Endowed Church of England Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. Across sites such as Newington Enterprise Centre, 1.6 miles north-east of Hartlip, floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working.
