FAQs: Kent Street
Is hospital work, at somewhere like The Dene Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is Kent Street too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you send site paperwork?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes a day or more, depending on the metres of joint and how many zones the floor is split into. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Will we need to close the floor?
In most cases, just the area being treated is coned off. Each zone reopens when the product can take traffic, then we move to the next.
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.
About our floor joint sealing in Kent Street
We have been sealing commercial joints since 2005. Applicators carry CSCS cards and work to your site rules, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member holding public liability insurance. Finished floor joints in Kent Street carry our 12-month guarantee. If you’re dealing with trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints and broken arrises where pallet trucks cross, we can put it right, on loading bays, saw-cut induced joints and retail and showroom floors alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Kent Street, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
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.
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.

How the job changes by surface
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Joints on busy routes need a fill that sits flush and resists impact. Wheel type and traffic level steer the product choice.
Construction joints
Day joints on busy routes are prone to edge damage. We look at how much they are moving before choosing the treatment.
On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Smaller jobs around Kent Street can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- Each area is assessed for joint width, arris damage and the wheels that cross it.
- A fixed quote follows, listing the treatment for each area and the order of work.
- Old filler, debris and contamination are cut or routed out back to clean concrete.
- Dust is sucked out of the joint and a primer used if the product data sheet asks for one.
- The chosen product is placed to its specified depth and trimmed level with the floor.
- We tell you when each zone can carry trucks again and move on to the next.
Before we start on site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Advice
Quoting for work in Kent Street
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- The product specified
A quote for floor joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you’re working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.
What to include in your enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The product your specification calls for
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. To take the first step, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
General trades versus a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, 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.
After the work
For the best life from the joints:
- Start with the dock areas, where joints fail soonest
- Let us know what the floor is cleaned with
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
- Remind operators to lift rather than drag
Normal floor cleaning is fine once the product has cured. Tell us about aggressive cleaning products or hot washing at quote stage so we choose something that tolerates them.
Treating joints while the arrises are sound keeps the work simple. Once they have broken away, edge repair comes first, with more downtime and more disruption.

- Grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor
- Old filler gone hard, cracked or loose
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
- Joint edges breaking up under truck wheels
Hospital campuses such as The Dene Hospital, 3.8 miles east of Kent Street, grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.
