About our floor joint sealing in Martin
A working floor can rarely be closed for days on end, 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. We work on joints along racking aisles, retail and showroom floors and forklift and pallet-truck routes, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are a gap opening alongside old joint filler and broken arrises where pallet trucks cross. Most enquiries from Martin start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Martin have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Maintenance after handover
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
- Start with the dock areas, where joints fail soonest
- Clear packed debris from open joints regularly
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
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 photos so changes are easy to compare.
While the concrete edges are intact, it’s a filling job. Once they have broken away, edge repair comes first and that takes longer and closes areas for longer.
What affects the price in Martin
These are the things that shape the price:
- Any access equipment needed
- Working within restricted access windows
- The size and state of each joint
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Details that help us quote
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- The type of building and who uses it
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- When you need the work done
- Where the site is, with the postcode
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
What we are called out for in Martin
A slab keeps shrinking for a long time after it is cast, and the saw cuts are there so it cracks in straight, controlled lines. As the panels contract, the joints widen so a filler put in early may separate along one side.
Typical triggers for a call:
- A rough ride across broken joints
- Old filler gone hard, cracked or loose
- Joint edges breaking up under truck wheels
- Scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor
In and around Martin, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.
What to look for in a quote
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Proof of insurance
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Who will actually carry out the work
Doing it in-house
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.

Where floor joints take the most wear near Martin
Rainfall across the South East, Martin included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, while winter salting gets into any joint left open.
A joint near Martin that has lost its sealant lets in water and grit, and the edges suffer next; we’ll tell you if the edges need repairing first.

Your questions answered
Is Martin too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
What documents will you need to give us for a job in Martin?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Should floor joints be filled or sealed?
We decide joint by joint. Where hard wheels cross, a semi-rigid filler is typically right and perimeter or movement joints need flexibility. You’ll see the choice for each area in the quote.
Is it normal for joint filler to separate?
On newer slabs, the concrete keeps shrinking after the joints are filled, so a semi-rigid filler can part from one face. A top-up normally puts it right.

Why act early in Martin
Duct tape or a general builders’ sealant can seem to buy some time. Neither is made to carry wheels, and it normally ends up dragged across the floor. The right filler or sealant saves doing it twice. Converted and older buildings near places like Martin tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
