Floor joint sealing in Lashenden: the local picture
Lashenden 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 where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in. Lashenden lies roughly 40 miles out from central London. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital.
Hospital campuses such as Benenden Hospital (to the south of Lashenden) grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.
Lashenden is about 10 miles west of Ashford, in Kent. Lashenden sits inside our coverage and the rest of Kent, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Across Kent, 931 places are covered, Lashenden among them. We also cover London, around 40 miles from Lashenden.

When to call us in Lashenden
Oil, laitance, dust and old cleaning chemicals build up inside joints. If the faces aren’t taken back to clean concrete first, the new material simply lifts out.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
- Unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit
- Brittle joint filler breaking up
Around Lashenden, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves.
What your quote should include
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- How they’ll work around occupants
Common questions from Lashenden clients
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Benenden Hospital, something you do?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is Lashenden too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you use semi-rigid filler or flexible sealant on floor joints?
The answer comes from the traffic and the joint’s movement. Trafficked joints on truck routes normally need a semi-rigid filler to support the edges and joints with more movement take a flexible sealant.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Is it normal for joint filler to separate?
It can be shrinkage, contamination on the joint faces or a product unsuited to the movement. We look at which it is before recommending anything.
Why it’s worth doing now in Lashenden
Waiting for a site-wide shutdown often means the joints keep getting worse. Zone by zone, the worst aisles can be dealt with now while the rest of the floor carries on. Older rural buildings around Lashenden move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote when you’re ready.

Our process
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For work around Lashenden, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Each area is assessed for joint width, arris damage and the wheels that cross it.
- The quote fixes the price, names the filler or sealant and shows how the floor will be zoned.
- We remove failed material and packed debris until sound concrete is exposed on both faces.
- Dust is extracted from the joint and primer applied where the manufacturer specifies it.
- Filler or sealant goes in to the right depth and is finished flush with the slab.
- We tell you when each zone can carry trucks again and move on to the next.
Getting the site ready
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
Getting a fixed quote
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.

What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- How accessible the joints are
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Travel to remote or island sites
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What we need to price the job
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- The type of building and who uses it
- Specification clauses that apply
- Any dates the work must fit around
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
When something else is needed
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds
- Level or flatness problems across the floor
- Structural cracking in the slab
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think before you book.
