Maintenance after handover
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
- Clear packed debris from open joints regularly
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
- Start with the dock areas, where joints fail soonest
Dragged forks and pallets gouge joints and edges alike. Steel tines will mark a good joint over time.
Edges tend to break slowly at first, then quickly. Once the first piece is out, wheels drop further and hit harder, so it pays to act at the first signs.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Lower Upham
We have been sealing commercial joints since 2005. Our CSCS-carded applicators follow your site induction and rules, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member holding public liability insurance. Completed joints come with a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. We work on saw-cut induced joints, joints along racking aisles and retail and showroom floors, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are cracked and crumbling joint fill and a gap opening alongside old joint filler. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Lower Upham, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Lower Upham have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

What sealant work can’t fix
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds
- A floor that is out of level for the racking or trucks
- Spalled arrises, which need an edge repair first
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal

Work for main contractors and building owners
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
How the quote is worked out
What shapes the price:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
Pricing floor joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you are working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Before you send an enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Access details, including height
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? We’ll quote against your scope and drawings that you can work with. For a chat about it beforehand, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.

When to call us in Lower Upham
Joints near dock doors see colder air, rain blown in and water off vehicles, as well as the tightest turning loads. That is usually where joint failure starts.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Old filler gone hard, cracked or loose
- Chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes
- Filler that has parted from one face
- Loading bay joints breaking down
Large sites such as Moorgreen Hospital, 4.4 miles south-west of Lower Upham, have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels.
What to look for in a quote
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- How they’ll work around occupants
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it

Lower Upham: questions and answers
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Moorgreen Hospital, something you do?
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 a smaller place like Lower Upham outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
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’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Why is there a gap next to the joint filler?
Young concrete carries on shrinking for a long time and a stiff filler can separate down one side. A top-up normally puts it right.
Do you guarantee industrial floor joints?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and the work is covered by public liability insurance.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
How do we get a quote for floor joints?
Send details through our quote form or by email and tell us what runs on the floor. We then send a fixed quote with the product and phasing set out.
