Surface by surface
Flexible floor sealants
A flexible sealant suits perimeter and movement joints away from the heaviest traffic. Backing rod limits how deep the bead goes and keeps it off the joint bottom.
Retail and showroom floors
Retail work is phased around trading. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.

What else we do in Lenham Heath
Why act early in Lenham Heath
Not every joint needs stripping out completely. Where existing filler is well bonded and the gap beside it is small, a full strip-out isn’t always needed and the quote shows which approach suits each run. Older rural buildings around Lenham Heath move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Why appoint us
- Work carried out by CSCS-carded applicators
- Failed material removed, not covered up

Take a look at what affects the cost or our accreditations.
What affects the price in Lenham Heath
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Phasing around occupants
- How much existing material needs removing
- The total length or number of joints
- The size and state of each joint
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Sending details for a quote
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Your programme or deadline
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The product your specification calls for
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us.
Questions about Lenham Heath
Is a smaller place like Lenham Heath outside your area?
No. Places such as Lenham Heath are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
What documents will you need to give us for a job in Lenham Heath?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we will confirm it with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Which is better for warehouse joints, filler or sealant?
The answer comes from the traffic and the joint’s movement. Forklift routes generally call for a semi-rigid filler that holds the arrises, while joints that move more take a flexible sealant.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Do you repair broken joint edges?
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.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Do you guarantee industrial floor joints?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we hold public liability insurance.
Aftercare for building managers
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
- Clear packed debris from open joints regularly
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
- Make joint checks part of your floor inspections
On younger slabs, a fine line can open down one side of a filled joint as the concrete keeps shrinking. That is common and is normally dealt with by topping up once the slab has settled down.
Every vehicle on a busy aisle hits a damaged joint. Sorting it early looks after your equipment as well as the slab.

Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Lenham Heath?
Pallet-truck and forklift wheels concentrate weight on a tiny contact patch. Where a joint is open, the wheel dips and strikes the far edge and those knocks chip the edge apart bit by bit.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Drivers complaining about joints on a route
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
- Filler that has parted from one face
- Untidy open joints in a retail unit
Schools such as The Lenham School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.

- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
