From enquiry to sign-off
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. For work around Moor Street, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- A floor survey records every joint, its edges and what crosses it.
- You receive a fixed quote showing products and phasing.
- Old fill and packed debris come out until both faces are sound.
- Dust is vacuumed out and primer applied where specified.
- The joint is filled to its specified depth and trimmed level.
- We hand each phase back when it can take traffic.
Preparing the site

Advice
About our floor joint sealing in Moor Street
Some joints reach us with their edges already broken. Filling against a crumbled arris won’t hold for long, so we’ll tell you if the joint edges need repairing first and explain how it affects the programme. If you have joint fill separating from the concrete and unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit, we can help, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Moor Street start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In and around smaller places like Moor Street, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Medway. 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.

Different surfaces, different methods
Saw-cut induced joints
Induced joints are sawn into a new slab to control where it cracks. They are narrow but open up as the panels shrink so trafficked runs need a filler that holds the arrises.
Isolation joints at walls and columns
Perimeter and column joints get forgotten, and they collect dust and debris. We include them in the survey.

Questions we are asked in Moor Street
Is Newington Industrial Estate, near Moor Street, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Moor Street, Newington Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Our building in Moor Street is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
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. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Will we need to close the floor?
Usually only the zone we are working in has to close. Each zone reopens when the product can take traffic and the next zone follows.
Why is there a gap next to the joint filler?
On newer slabs, the concrete keeps shrinking after the joints are filled and a stiff filler can separate down one side. A top-up normally puts it right.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Common problems we fix in Moor Street
Concrete slabs shrink as they dry out, and saw-cut joints give that shrinkage a planned place to crack. Each panel pulls back as it shrinks and the joints open up, and a filler placed early can part company with one face.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Flexible sealant torn out by wheels
- Loading bay joints breaking down
- Cracked and crumbling joint fill
- Grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor
Hospitals like Medway Maritime Hospital (4 miles west of Moor Street) have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock.

Should maintenance staff do it?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Joints that move: notes for Moor Street
Moor Street sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner.

Across sites such as Parkwood Shopping Centre (1.6 miles south-west of Moor Street), floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working. In a school such as Leigh Academy Rainham, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.

Cost factors for floor joints
These are the things that shape the price:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Phasing around occupants
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- How much there is to seal
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
