Floor joint sealing for Layston sites
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Should maintenance staff do it?
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.

Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
- Let us know what the floor is cleaned with
- Photograph any joint that starts to chip
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
Dragged forks and pallets gouge joints and edges alike. Steel tines will mark a good joint over time if it keeps happening.
Treating joints while the arrises are sound keeps the work simple. After the edges go, repairs come into it and that takes longer and closes areas for longer.
Different surfaces, different methods
Loading bays and dock areas
We normally work through dock areas a few bays at a time so goods in and out carry on. Your site hours and access windows set the order.
Flexible floor sealants
Polyurethane floor sealants are available in a range of colours so ask if the colour matters.

Advice
When something else is needed
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- A floor that rocks at the joints, which needs a structural fix
- Broken concrete either side of the joint
- A floor that is out of level for the racking or trucks
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly.

Your questions answered
Can you work at a site such as Park Farm Industrial Estate, by Layston?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Layston, Park Farm Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Do we have to stop operations in Layston while the joints are sealed?
In most cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Do you use semi-rigid filler or flexible sealant on floor joints?
There isn’t one answer for a whole floor. Hard wheels need edge support, which points to a semi-rigid filler and perimeter or movement joints need flexibility. You will see the choice for each area in the quote.
Can you fill joints where the arrises have spalled?
Filling against broken edges doesn’t last. We will tell you if the joint edges need repairing first and set out how that affects the job.
Can you phase floor joint work around operations?
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.
What information helps you price floor joint sealing?
A rough joint length, a few photos and a site plan let us give a quick quote. For larger floors, a site visit is often best so give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to set one up.
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 diagnose the cause before suggesting a fix.
Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Layston
Rainfall across the South East, Layston included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints. The 3 miles around Layston 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.
At places like Watermill Industrial Estate (0.9 miles south-west of Layston), joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on. If you manage units on an estate such as Park Farm Industrial Estate, which lies west of Layston, the floor joints under forklifts and pallet trucks and the slab joints in the yard are the ones to watch. Schools like Layston Church of England First School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.
