Different surfaces, different methods
Construction joints
Day joints sit where one section of slab was cast against another. They often see more movement than sawn joints, and that shapes the product choice.
Retail and showroom floors
We plan shop-floor work so trading can continue. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.

Lower Horncroft: questions and answers
Is Quell Farm Industrial Estate, near Lower Horncroft, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Lower Horncroft, Quell Farm Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Do we have to stop operations in Lower Horncroft while the joints are sealed?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Which is better for warehouse joints, filler or sealant?
The answer comes from the traffic and the joint’s movement. Trafficked joints on truck routes normally need a semi-rigid filler to support the edges and joints with more movement take a flexible sealant.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically takes anything from a day for one loading bay to several days for a large floor, split into phases. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Why has the filler pulled away from one side?
Young concrete carries on shrinking for a long time, so a semi-rigid filler can part from one face. A top-up normally puts it right.

Advice
What sealant work can’t fix
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Wide or random cracking that suggests a structural issue
- Joint edges that have already broken away, which need repairing before filling (we’ll tell you if so)
- A floor that rocks at the joints, which needs a structural fix
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Loading bays
- Retail and showroom floors
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Joints along racking aisles
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Construction joints
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 we will say which joints need what. Halls, stores and units around places like Lower Horncroft may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
A quote for floor joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you’re working to. Call for a quote.

When to call us in Lower Horncroft
Concrete slabs shrink as they dry out, and saw-cut joints give that shrinkage a planned place to crack. Each panel pulls back as it shrinks and the joints open up, and a filler placed early can part company with one face.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Dock area joints that have failed first
- Flexible sealant torn out by wheels
- Joint fill separating from the concrete
- Open saw cuts full of debris
For an occupier at a site such as Quell Farm Industrial Estate, which lies south-east of Lower Horncroft, the joints at loading doors and dock levellers usually see the hardest wear.
