Floor joint sealing for commercial buildings in Lullingstone
Few warehouses can shut a whole floor while joints are done, so the work is split into zones and treated one area at a time. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them, with goods still moving in the areas we aren’t in. If you’re dealing with joint fill separating from the concrete and flexible sealant torn out by wheels, we can put it right, on construction joints, joints along racking aisles and loading bays alike.

For a site near Lullingstone, measurements and photographs up front mean one trip where possible. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we will take it from there.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

Common questions from Lullingstone clients
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Chelsfield Park Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Will you take on work at estates like Mark Way Industrial Estate, close to Lullingstone?
Yes. Our area takes in Lullingstone and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Mark Way Industrial Estate included. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
What information helps you price floor joint sealing?
A rough joint length, a few photographs and a site plan let us give a quick quote. For larger floors, a site visit is often best, and you can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to arrange it.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit normally takes between a day and a number of days, set by the joint lengths, the edge condition and the phasing you need. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.
What we are called out for in Lullingstone
Unfilled joints soon pack with grit, shrink-wrap scraps and pallet splinters. That debris is hard and levers at the edges as wheels pass so the arrises break sooner.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Flexible sealant torn out by wheels
- Drivers complaining about joints on a route
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
- Dock area joints that have failed first
Estates like Mark Way Industrial Estate, 2.1 miles to the north of Lullingstone, combine warehouse slabs, yards and loading bays, all with joints under wheels.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
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.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Owners, agents and contractors
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Lullingstone can form part of a wider programme.
How a job runs

First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off.

Surface by surface
Loading bays and dock areas
Dock areas see tight turns, heavy loads and weather blowing in. Joints here normally fail first so many programmes begin here.
Isolation joints at walls and columns
Joints around columns and along walls let the slab move without cracking against the structure. A flexible product suits them better than a stiff filler.
How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Access and working height
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What to include in your enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The product your specification calls for
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
