About our floor joint sealing in Mapledurham
Forklifts and pallet trucks are hard on open joints. Each crossing knocks the unsupported edge until a crisp saw cut becomes a wide, broken groove. Filling the joint properly gives the edges back their support. It also smooths the route for drivers and stock. Site teams most often ask us about trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints and saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit, on saw-cut induced joints, retail and showroom floors and forklift and pallet-truck routes. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Mapledurham from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Mapledurham have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will arrange a return visit.

Questions about Mapledurham
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Prospect Park Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is a smaller place like Mapledurham outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Can you fill joints where the arrises have spalled?
Edge condition is recorded when we look at the floor. Damaged edges are flagged up front, so nothing is filled that won’t hold.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
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.
Can you send site paperwork?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
- Clear packed debris from open joints regularly
Young concrete carries on shrinking, so some fillers part slightly from one face. It is a known trait of new floors and a later top-up deals with it.
Every vehicle on a busy aisle hits a damaged joint. Sorting it early looks after your equipment as well as the slab.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. Smaller jobs around Mapledurham can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.

Advice
When something else is needed
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Wide or random cracking that suggests a structural issue
- Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds
- Joint edges that have already broken away, which need repairing before filling (we will tell you if so)
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Construction joints
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Joints along racking aisles
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Loading bays
- Retail and showroom floors
How the job changes by surface
Construction joints
Where a day joint crosses a truck route, its edges take heavy punishment. Movement and traffic are both checked before we decide what goes in.
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
A route joint has to take repeated wheel strikes without breaking up. Wheel type and traffic level steer the product choice.
Why it’s worth doing now in Mapledurham
Tape, or whatever sealant is in the stores cupboard, may look like a fix for a while. None of it is designed for wheel loads and traffic soon pulls it out. A product chosen for the traffic and movement does the job once. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Mapledurham. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote when you’re ready.
Why appoint us
- Work to your specification and the manufacturer’s guidance
- Commercial sealant work since 2005
- Public liability insurance in place
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job
