Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
How we handle floor joint sealing in New Hythe
We diagnose the floor first rather than guessing at a product: how wide the joints are, signs of ongoing movement, the wheel types crossing them and the state of the arrises. From that we choose between a semi-rigid filler and a more flexible sealant, area by area where it needs to be. If you have joint edges breaking up under truck wheels and open saw cuts full of debris, we can help, on construction joints, retail and showroom floors and loading bays alike. Most enquiries from New Hythe 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.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like New Hythe have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

What sealant work can’t fix

- Cracks across panels caused by settlement or overload

Questions about New Hythe
Is New Hythe too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Would you work within a site like Maidstone Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Do you repair broken joint edges?
A filler needs sound edges to grip. We’ll tell you if the joint edges need repairing first, so you can decide how to proceed.
Do you guarantee industrial floor joints?
Every job has our 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than structural movement or accidental damage.
Should floor joints be filled or sealed?
The answer comes from the traffic and the joint’s movement. Forklift routes generally call for a semi-rigid filler that holds the arrises, while joints that move more take a flexible sealant.
Why it’s worth doing now in New Hythe
Open joints are where dirt collects, out of reach of the floor cleaner. Where the floor is on show or needs to be kept clean, that is a problem. Flush, filled joints leave nothing for cleaners to dig out. Around New Hythe, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

From enquiry to sign-off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Jobs in and around smaller places like New Hythe are normally planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.
- We point out joints whose edges need repairing first.
- We clear each run back to clean concrete.
- The chosen filler or sealant goes in flush with the slab.
- Each area is handed back when ready for traffic.

Advice
Traffic, movement and joints around New Hythe
New Hythe sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint. At about 27 miles from central London, New Hythe is within reach of the capital. The roads out of London are lined with trade parks and distribution sheds.
For an estate such as Maidstone Hospital, 2.8 miles to the south-east of New Hythe, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time. A campus such as University for the Creative Arts - Maidstone (3.3 miles south-east of New Hythe) has long runs of movement joint in its buildings, decks and paving. In a school such as Brookfield Junior School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
New Hythe is about 4 miles north-west of Maidstone, in Kent. We cover New Hythe, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Across Kent, 931 places are covered, New Hythe among them. There’s a separate page for London, roughly 27 miles from New Hythe.

How the job changes by surface
Retail and showroom floors
Retail work is phased around trading. Give us your opening pattern and access windows and the phasing follows.
Loading bays and dock areas
Bays can be treated one or two at a time so deliveries keep moving. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
How the quote is worked out
What shapes the price:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Any access equipment needed
- How much there is to seal
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Your programme or deadline
- The product your specification calls for
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The site address and postcode
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with what you know.
