On site: what to expect
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we are cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. For a building around Hildenborough, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will 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.
- Each joint is cleared of old fill and dirt and taken back to clean, sound edges.
- We vacuum each run and prime it if the chosen product requires a primer.
- Filler or sealant goes in to the right depth and is finished flush with the slab.
- The area is handed back once it has cured enough to take traffic.
What we need from you
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

What we are called out for in Hildenborough
Pallet-truck and forklift wheels concentrate weight on a tiny contact patch. Crossing an open joint, the wheel drops and knocks the opposite arris and those knocks chip the edge apart bit by bit.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes
- Trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints
- Old filler gone hard, cracked or loose
- Scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor
Hospital campuses such as Hollanden Park Hospital (to the north-east of Hildenborough) grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
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 where general trades tend to cut corners.
What happens if it’s left?
Not every joint needs stripping out completely. If old material is sound on one face and only a fine gap has opened, it may not all have to come out and the quote shows which approach suits each run. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Hildenborough, rather than one at a time. Send photos of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

FAQs: Hildenborough
Is Hildenborough off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will our site in Hildenborough have to close for joint sealing?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we’ll plan from there.
Which is better for warehouse joints, filler or sealant?
We decide joint by joint. Where hard wheels cross, a semi-rigid filler is normally right and perimeter or movement joints need flexibility. You will see the choice for each area in the quote.
What information helps you price floor joint sealing?
Approximate metres of joint, photos of typical and worst areas, and a floor plan let us give a quick quote. For larger floors, a site visit is often best, and you can call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form to arrange it.
Can you send site paperwork?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Can you phase floor joint work around operations?
In most cases, just the area being treated is coned off. Each zone reopens when the product can take traffic and the next zone follows.
What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Access and working height
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How much existing material needs removing
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Specification clauses that apply
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Access details, including height
- The site address and postcode
To get a fixed quote, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the site address and an outline of the work. You can also send details through our quote form.
