Doing it in-house
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.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Floor joint sealing in Maypole
Across Maypole and the rest of Kent, it runs the same way: you send details, we send a fixed quote, the joints are done and the 12-month guarantee follows. Approximate joint lengths, a few photos and a floor plan are enough for a quick quote, or we can arrange a site visit. The enquiries we see most involve chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes and a rough ride across broken joints, on retail and showroom floors, joints along racking aisles and construction joints. Searching for sealant specialists in Maypole? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Maypole have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Maypole
Floor joints collect dust, oil, curing compound and cleaning residue. If the faces aren’t taken back to clean concrete first, the new material simply lifts out.
Look out for the following:
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
- Scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor
- Cracked and crumbling joint fill
Office parks like Chislet Business Park (to the south of Maypole) have decks, ramps and clad elevations whose joints take movement every day.

- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?

Warehouse floors and decks around Maypole
The sea is no more than about 3 miles from Maypole. Open joints in coastal car parks and yards let in salt-laden water as well as grit, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. Less than 3 miles from Maypole there are at least three named estates and business parks. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints.
Another example is Canterbury Industrial Park, which lies south of Maypole, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers. Schools like Hoath Primary School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.

From enquiry to sign-off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work normally takes anything from a day for one loading bay to several days for a large floor, split into phases, and we clear our waste as we work. Jobs in and around smaller places like Maypole are normally planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.
- Any joints with broken edges are flagged before work starts.
- Failed material and debris are removed and the joint cleaned.
- We fill the joints with the agreed product, finished level.
- You get a time for each zone to reopen.
Getting the site ready
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Let building users know which areas are affected
Getting a fixed quote

Questions about Maypole
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Queen Victoria Memorial Hospital?
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 Maypole off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
What guarantee do you give on joint filling?
A 12-month guarantee covers the work we do. It covers our workmanship, not later slab movement or damage from impacts.
Why is there a gap next to the joint filler?
On newer slabs, the concrete keeps shrinking after the joints are filled, so a semi-rigid filler can part from one face. It is normally dealt with by topping up.
Do you use semi-rigid filler or flexible sealant on floor joints?
The answer comes from the traffic and the joint’s movement. Forklift routes generally call for a semi-rigid filler that holds the arrises and joints with more movement take a flexible sealant.
When it isn’t the sealant
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Worn screed or surface finishes
- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling
- Spalled arrises, which need an edge repair first
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.

- Construction joints
- Saw-cut induced joints
Looking after the joints
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
- Hold traffic back until the product has cured
Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets along the floor. Even a well-filled joint can be damaged by steel scraping along it if it keeps happening.
Joints are easiest to look after when someone checks them regularly. A phased plan, worst routes first, spreads the work out and keeps on top of the rest.
