Advice
About our floor joint sealing in Kent Street
Few warehouses can shut a whole floor while joints are done, so the work is split into zones and treated one area at a time. Share your site hours and access windows and the programme is built around them so the rest of the operation keeps going. The enquiries we see most involve dock area joints that have failed first and chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes, on saw-cut induced joints, construction joints and loading bays. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Kent Street? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Around smaller places such as Kent Street, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll arrange a return visit.

What the job involves on each surface
Saw-cut induced joints
Induced joints are sawn into a new slab to control where it cracks. They start narrow and widen as the concrete dries so trafficked runs need a filler that holds the arrises.
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Trucks running over open joints wear wheels and shake loads. A filled joint lets wheels roll across and protects the floor.
What sealant work can’t fix
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Wide or random cracking that suggests a structural issue
- Level or flatness problems across the floor
- Unstable slabs moving under traffic
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

Where floor joints take the most wear near Kent Street
Central London is about 26 miles from Kent Street. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London. Kent Street is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.
Across sites such as Mereworth Business Centre, 0.9 miles to the south-east of Kent Street, floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working. For a school such as Kings Hill School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.
Kent Street is about 6 miles west of Maidstone, in Kent. We cover commercial sites throughout Kent Street. Across Kent, 931 places are covered, including Kent Street. London is covered too, some 26 miles away.

Local landmarks in Kent Street
Around Kent Street, our work takes us to commercial buildings near The Queens Head Public House and Manor Park Country Park and the streets around them. The closest station to Kent Street is Wateringbury station, about 2.1 miles south-east. Well-known places in the area include Beechin Wood Archery Museum (2.5 miles north-west) and Maidstone Hospital (4.3 miles east).
Doing it in-house
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
FAQs: Kent Street
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Maidstone Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is a smaller place like Kent Street outside your area?
Not at all. Kent Street is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Is it normal for joint filler to separate?
Separation usually comes from slab shrinkage, poor preparation or the wrong product. We diagnose the cause before suggesting a fix.
What do you need from us to quote?
Use our quote form, or email photographs and a plan and tell us what runs on the floor. A fixed quote follows with the product and phasing set out.
How soon can traffic go back on the floor?
The wait is set by the product’s cure time and cooler floors take longer. Phasing is planned with that in mind.
Can the warehouse stay open while you work?
We phase it. We work aisle by aisle or zone by zone so the rest of the floor stays in use around the site hours and access windows you give us.
Do you guarantee industrial floor joints?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee, and we hold public liability insurance.

What we are called out for in Kent Street
A soft, flexible sealant on a forklift route can’t hold the arrises up, so the concrete still breaks beside it. The opposite mistake happens as well: a rigid fill in a joint that is still opening cracks or debonds.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes
- Joint fill separating from the concrete
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
- Dock area joints that have failed first
Business parks such as Kings Hill Business Park (0.8 miles north-east of Kent Street) have car parks, paved areas and long brick and panel elevations, all with movement joints.

- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
Leave it or put it right?
An open joint is a modest filling job while its edges are sound. 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 Kent Street, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
