Our process
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. For a building around Hertingfordbury, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- We look at joint widths, edge condition and the traffic on each route.
- A fixed quote follows, listing the treatment for each area and the order of work.
- 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.
- We fill each joint to depth and finish it flush so wheels roll straight across.
- The area is handed back once it has cured enough to take traffic.
Before we start on site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Point out any areas we must not close

Should maintenance staff do it?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
What happens if it’s left?
While the arrises are intact, filling a joint is straightforward. Wait until the edges have spalled and the concrete needs repairing before the joint can be filled which means more downtime in that zone. Around Hertingfordbury, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

Common questions from Hertingfordbury clients
Is a smaller place like Hertingfordbury outside your area?
Not at all. Hertingfordbury is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Will you take on work at estates like Mimram Road Industrial Estate, close to Hertingfordbury?
Yes, sites like Mimram Road Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Hertingfordbury. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Can you fill joints where the arrises have spalled?
We check the edges as part of the survey. Where they have broken away, we will tell you before quoting the filling, so nothing is filled that won’t hold.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
When something else is needed
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Wide or random cracking that suggests a structural issue
- Slab panels that rock or move under load
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Floor joint sealing around Hertingfordbury: what changes locally
Hertingfordbury sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint. The 3 miles around Hertingfordbury take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints.
At places like Hartham View Industrial Estate, 1.2 miles to the north-east of Hertingfordbury, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on. For an estate such as Hertford County Hospital (0.8 miles north-east of Hertingfordbury), the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Hertingfordbury
A slab keeps shrinking for a long time after it is cast, and the saw cuts are there so it cracks in straight, controlled lines. Each panel pulls back as it shrinks and the joints open up, and a filler placed early can part company with one face.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
- Filler that has parted from one face
Warehouse floors on estates like Mimram Road Industrial Estate (0.7 miles east of Hertingfordbury) carry pallet trucks and forklifts over every saw-cut joint.

Maintenance after handover
For the best life from the joints:
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
- Keep photos of joints that look like they’re failing
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets along the floor. Even a well-filled joint can be damaged by steel scraping along it.
Every vehicle on a busy aisle hits a damaged joint. Sorting it early looks after your equipment as well as the slab.
