About our floor joint sealing in Little Holbury
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. Our job is to put the right filler or sealant into them for the loads and the movement they see, so the arrises are supported and grit stays out. Site teams most often ask us about untidy open joints in a retail unit and chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes, across loading bays, joints along racking aisles and construction joints. Whoever orders the work in Little Holbury, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around smaller places such as Little Holbury, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Should maintenance staff do it?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
What the job involves on each surface
Construction joints
Day joints on busy routes are prone to edge damage. Movement and traffic are both checked before we decide what goes in.
Saw-cut induced joints
Induced joints are sawn into a new slab to control where it cracks. They start narrow and widen as the concrete dries so trafficked runs need a filler that holds the arrises.
Maintenance after handover
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
- Keep grit out of unfilled joints in the meantime
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets along the floor. Even a well-filled joint can be damaged by steel scraping along it.
Every day an open joint stays full of grit, the edges take more punishment. Filling it ends that cycle while it is still a straightforward job.
Common problems we fix in Little Holbury
Unfilled joints soon pack with grit, shrink-wrap scraps and pallet splinters. Packed debris acts like a wedge every time a wheel crosses so the arrises break sooner.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
- Drivers complaining about joints on a route
- Joint fill separating from the concrete
- Flexible sealant torn out by wheels
In a school such as Manor Church of England Infant School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.

What sets the cost
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Which sealant the job calls for
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
Before you send an enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Your questions answered
Can you work on a hospital site such as Hythe Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is Little Holbury too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you fill joints where the arrises have spalled?
Edge condition is recorded when we look at the floor. Where they have broken away, we’ll tell you before quoting the filling, so nothing is filled that won’t hold.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Is the floor joint work guaranteed?
Every job has our 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later slab movement or damage from impacts.
Should floor joints be filled or sealed?
There isn’t one answer for a whole floor. Hard wheels need edge support, which points to a semi-rigid filler and perimeter or movement joints need flexibility. The quote sets out what goes where.
