Common questions from Little Burstead clients
Is Laindon North Trading Estate, near Little Burstead, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Little Burstead, Laindon North Trading Estate among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Mayflower Community Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Will we need to close the floor?
We phase it. We work aisle by aisle or zone by zone so the rest of the floor stays in use around the site hours and access windows you give us.
Do you cover Little Burstead?
Yes. Little Burstead is in our area and the rest of Essex, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. For a quote, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
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 look at which it is before recommending anything.
Cost factors for floor joints
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- How much there is to seal
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Which sealant the job calls for
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Sending details for a quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Any specification or named product
- The postcode of the building
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
What we can’t put right
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Wide or random cracking that suggests a structural issue
- Slab panels that rock or move under load
- A floor that is out of level for the racking or trucks
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work in Little Burstead

Floor joint sealing in Little Burstead: the local picture
At about 23 miles from central London, Little Burstead is within reach of the capital. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital. The South East is one of the drier 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.
A healthcare site such as Mayflower Community Hospital, 1.2 miles north of Little Burstead, depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day. Schools such as South Green Junior School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook. At places like Pipps Hill Retail Park, 2.1 miles to the south-east of Little Burstead, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.

What else we do in Little Burstead
Why act early in Little Burstead
Waiting for a site-wide shutdown often means the joints keep getting worse. Zone by zone, the worst aisles can be dealt with now while the rest of the floor carries on. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Little Burstead, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
A quote for floor joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Doing it in-house
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
