About our floor joint sealing in Hornestreet
A working floor can rarely be closed for days on end, so we phase the work aisle by aisle or bay by bay. 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. Most enquiries involve sealant pulled out along a truck route and joint fill separating from the concrete, across retail and showroom floors, loading bays and forklift and pallet-truck routes. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Hornestreet first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
In and around smaller places like Hornestreet, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Questions about Hornestreet
Can you work at a site such as Langham Barns Business Centre, by Hornestreet?
Yes. Our area takes in Hornestreet and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Langham Barns Business Centre included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Cygnet Hospital Colchester, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Do you repair broken joint edges?
A filler needs sound edges to grip. We’ll tell you if the joint edges need repairing first, so you can decide how to proceed.
Will we need to close the floor?
The work is phased. Areas are taken out of use a section at a time around the site hours and access windows you give us.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.

What the job involves on each surface
Loading bays and dock areas
Bays can be treated one or two at a time so goods in and out carry on. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
Retail and showroom floors
We plan shop-floor work so trading can continue. Give us your opening pattern and access windows and the phasing follows.
What affects the price in Hornestreet
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- How much there is to seal
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Working within restricted access windows
- Travel to remote or island sites
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
What we need to price the job
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- The postcode of the building
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Any specification or named product
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Hold traffic back until the product has cured
- Keep grit out of unfilled joints in the meantime
- Keep photos of joints that look like they’re failing
- Let us know what the floor is cleaned with
On younger slabs, a fine line can open down one side of a filled joint as the concrete keeps shrinking. That is common and is normally dealt with by topping up once the slab has settled down in the majority of cases.
Grit in an open joint does damage every time a wheel crosses it. Getting it filled stops the damage before it becomes a repair.
When to bring in a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Why act early in Hornestreet
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 we’ll say which joints need what. Older rural buildings around Hornestreet move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
A quote for floor joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.
