Common questions from Ley Green clients
Is a hospital such as Lister Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Does a site in Ley Green have to shut while its joints are sealed?
Typically not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Will we need to close the floor?
Usually only the zone we’re working in has to close. Each zone reopens when the product can take traffic, then we move to the next.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Floor joint sealing for commercial buildings in Ley Green
We work on warehouse aisles, dock areas, factory floors, retail units and showrooms. Pricing depends on the length of joint, how worn the edges are and when we can get in and the figure is fixed before work begins. We work on joints along racking aisles, construction joints and saw-cut induced joints, and what we’re called in for most is trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints and joint edges breaking up under truck wheels. Most enquiries from Ley Green start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Ley Green have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Surface by surface
Saw-cut induced joints
Most of the joints in a warehouse floor are saw cuts. Each one is cleaned out and filled to the specified depth, finishing flush with the slab.
Flexible floor sealants
Polyurethane sealants suit floor joints with larger movement. They don’t hold the arrises up as firmly as a semi-rigid fill so they are used where movement matters more than wheel load.
Owners, agents and contractors
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
How the quote is worked out
These are the things that shape the price:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Access and working height
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Which sealant the job calls for
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Doing it in-house
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Our process
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Smaller jobs around Ley Green can be grouped with others nearby. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.
- We point out joints whose edges need repairing first.
- We clear each run back to clean concrete.
- The chosen filler or sealant goes in flush with the slab.
- Each area is handed back when ready for traffic.
Getting the site ready
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
Ask for a quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
