Your questions answered
Is Ightham too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Cygnet Hospital Godden Green?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes anything from a day for one loading bay to several days for a large floor, split into phases. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Ightham
Most industrial slabs are divided into panels by saw-cut joints and construction joints, and each joint line is a weak edge that wheels run over all day. Our job is to put the right filler or sealant into them for the loads and the movement they see, so the arrises are supported and grit stays out. Site teams most often ask us about a gap opening alongside old joint filler and dock area joints that have failed first, on joints along racking aisles, construction joints and forklift and pallet-truck routes. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Ightham from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Jobs around smaller places like Ightham are planned so the whole job is done in one visit. Tell us the joint widths if you can, and what drives or walks over them.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Common problems we fix in Ightham
Floor joints collect dust, oil, curing compound and cleaning residue. Without cutting back to sound, clean concrete, the new material simply lifts out.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Filler that has parted from one face
- Trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints
- Joint edges breaking up under truck wheels
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
Schools such as Ightham Primary School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.
What your quote should include
- How joint depth will be controlled
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
When it isn’t the sealant
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Slab panels that rock or move under load
- Cracks across panels caused by settlement or overload
- Joint edges that have already broken away, which need repairing before filling (we will tell you if so)
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Retail and showroom floors
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Joints along racking aisles
- Construction joints

On site: what to expect
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself typically taking between a day and a number of days, set by the joint lengths, the edge condition and the phasing you need. Rural sites near Ightham may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.
- Any joints with broken edges are flagged before work starts.
- Failed material and debris are removed and the joint cleaned.
- The chosen filler or sealant goes in flush with the slab.
- You get a time for each zone to reopen.
Preparing the site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Traffic, movement and joints around Ightham
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in. The 3 miles around Ightham take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest.
A healthcare site such as Cygnet Hospital Godden Green (to the west of Ightham) depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day. Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Chaucer Business Park (1.9 miles north-west of Ightham): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time.

Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
- Remind operators to lift rather than drag
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
- Expect fillers on young slabs to need a top-up
If a joint we filled starts to break up within 12 months, tell us and we’ll arrange a look. After that, a check before your busiest period keeps small repairs small.
Every vehicle on a busy aisle hits a damaged joint. Early treatment protects wheels, loads and drivers as much as the floor.
