Should maintenance staff do it?
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.

What else we do in Lord's Wood
What we are called out for in Lord's Wood
A slab keeps shrinking for a long time after it is cast, and saw-cut joints give that shrinkage a planned place to crack. Each panel pulls back as it shrinks and the joints open up so a filler put in early may separate along one side.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
- Loading bay joints breaking down
- Drivers complaining about joints on a route
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
Retail centres such as Cannons Retail Park, 2 miles to the south-west of Lord's Wood, have floors, service yards and car parks with joints under constant traffic.
What your quote should include
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Proof of insurance
Surface by surface
Retail and showroom floors
Retail work is phased around trading. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Loading bays and dock areas
We usually work through dock areas a few bays at a time so goods in and out carry on. Your site hours and access windows set the order.
Looking after the joints
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
- Make joint checks part of your floor inspections
A routine walk of the busiest aisles shows how the joints are holding up. Watch for filler pulling away from an edge, fresh chipping or grit collecting and keep photographs so changes are easy to compare.
Every vehicle on a busy aisle hits a damaged joint. Early treatment protects wheels, loads and drivers as much as the floor.
Floors, slabs and movement joints in Lord's Wood
Rainfall across the South East, Lord's Wood included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint. Less than 3 miles from Lord's Wood there are at least three named estates and business parks. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints.
Sites like Wessex Hospital (to the north-west of Lord's Wood) carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints. For buildings at a park such as Wessex Business Park, 0.8 miles north-east of Lord's Wood, brick and panel movement joints are easy to forget until one leaks.

Leave it or put it right?
Some runs only need partial renewal or topping up. 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. Around Lord's Wood, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

On site: what to expect
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Smaller jobs around Lord's Wood can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First comes a walk of the floor to record joint sizes, broken edges and traffic routes.
- The quote fixes the price, names the filler or sealant and shows how the floor will be zoned.
- Each joint is cleared of old fill and dirt and taken back to clean, sound edges.
- Dust is extracted from the joint and primer applied where the manufacturer specifies it.
- The chosen product is placed to its specified depth and trimmed level with the floor.
- The area is handed back once it has cured enough to take traffic.
What we need from you
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

FAQs: Lord's Wood
Is a hospital such as Wessex Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is Lord's Wood off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually takes a day or more, depending on the metres of joint and how many zones the floor is split into. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
