About our floor joint sealing in Lidsing
A working floor can rarely be closed for days on end, so the work is split into zones and treated one area at a time. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them so the rest of the operation keeps going. Most enquiries involve dock area joints that have failed first and untidy open joints in a retail unit, across saw-cut induced joints, forklift and pallet-truck routes and joints along racking aisles. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Lidsing, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In and around smaller places like Lidsing, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Leave it or put it right?
An open joint is a modest filling job while its edges are sound. Left until they break, it needs an edge repair before any filling can start which means more downtime in that zone. Older rural buildings around Lidsing 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.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

When to bring in a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
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
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Put loading bays at the top of the list
- Keep photographs of joints that look like they’re failing
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
- 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 usually dealt with by topping up once the slab has settled down.
Joint damage starts slowly and then speeds up. Once the first piece is out, wheels drop further and hit harder so early treatment saves a lot of trouble.

Floors, slabs and movement joints in Lidsing
Rainfall across the South East, Lidsing included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints. The 3 miles around Lidsing take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic.
University campuses such as University for the Creative Arts - Rochester (to the north-west of Lidsing) have car parks, paved walkways and building elevations with movement joints. Schools like Swingate Primary School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly. Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Hempstead Valley Shopping Centre (0.9 miles north-east of Lidsing): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time.

FAQs: Lidsing
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Spire Alexandra Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is Lidsing off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
What information helps you price floor joint sealing?
Use our quote form, or email photographs and a plan and tell us what runs on the floor. We then send a fixed quote with the product and phasing set out.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Can you fill joints where the arrises have spalled?
A filler needs sound edges to grip. If the arrises have spalled, we’ll say they need repair before filling, so you can decide how to proceed.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
From enquiry to sign-off
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses.

- Each joint is cleared of old fill and dirt and taken back to clean, sound edges.
