About our floor joint sealing in Lenham Forstal
Concrete floors in warehouses and factories are cut into bays by saw-cut joints and construction joints, and each joint line is a weak edge that wheels run over all day. We fill or seal them with a product matched to the traffic and the movement, so the arrises are supported and grit stays out. We work on forklift and pallet-truck routes, loading bays and saw-cut induced joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are loading bay joints breaking down and cracked and crumbling joint fill. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Lenham Forstal, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.

Common questions from Lenham Forstal clients
Will our site in Lenham Forstal have to close for joint sealing?
In the majority of cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Is a smaller place like Lenham Forstal outside your area?
Not at all. Lenham Forstal is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Do you guarantee industrial floor joints?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and the work is covered by public liability insurance.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Tape, or whatever sealant is in the stores cupboard, may look like a fix for a while. Neither is made to carry wheels, and it normally ends up dragged across the floor. A product chosen for the traffic and movement does the job once. Converted and older buildings near places like Lenham Forstal tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

Isolation joints at walls and columns
We plan column and wall joints around racking and fixed plant.
Flexible floor sealants
Movement joints, joints at walls and joints in lightly trafficked areas often take a flexible sealant. Backing rod limits how deep the bead goes and keeps it off the joint bottom.
General trades versus a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Common problems we fix in Lenham Forstal
Oil, laitance, dust and old cleaning chemicals build up inside joints. Without cutting back to sound, clean concrete the new filler can’t stay bonded.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Brittle joint filler breaking up
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
- Flexible sealant torn out by wheels
Schools such as The Lenham School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.
