Floor joint sealing in New Marston, done properly
We have been sealing commercial joints since 2005. Applicators carry CSCS cards and work to your site rules, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance in place. Completed joints come with a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Most enquiries involve drivers complaining about joints on a route and loading bay joints breaking down, across forklift and pallet-truck routes, saw-cut induced joints and construction joints. Whoever orders the work in New Marston, the brief is usually the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Small units near places like New Marston are often converted farm buildings with new concrete floors. Joints in those slabs need a product suited to whatever runs over them, from pallet trucks to foot traffic.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

After the work
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
- Keep photographs of joints that look like they’re failing
- Put loading bays at the top of the list
Dragged forks and pallets gouge joints and edges alike. Even a well-filled joint can be damaged by steel scraping along it if it keeps happening.
Every vehicle on a busy aisle hits a damaged joint. Sorting it early looks after your equipment as well as the slab.
From enquiry to sign-off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work typically takes between a day and a number of days, set by the joint lengths, the edge condition and the phasing you need, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For a site in New Marston, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- We look at joint widths, edge condition and the traffic on each route.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and the phasing set out.
- Each joint is cleared of old fill and dirt and taken back to clean, sound edges.
- Dust is sucked out of the joint and a primer used if the product data sheet asks for one.
- The chosen product is placed to its specified depth and trimmed level with the floor.
- The area is handed back once it has cured enough to take traffic.
Preparing the site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Questions about New Marston
Is a hospital such as John Radcliffe Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Does your area include sites such as Shotover Trading Estate, near New Marston?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around New Marston, Shotover Trading Estate among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you send site paperwork?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Can the warehouse stay open while you work?
The work is phased. We work aisle by aisle or zone by zone so the rest of the floor stays in use around the site hours and access windows you give us.
Is the floor joint work guaranteed?
A 12-month guarantee covers the work we do. It applies to our workmanship rather than structural movement or accidental damage.
Floors, slabs and movement joints in New Marston
New Marston is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in. New Marston is about 52 miles from central London. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day.
Estates like Shotover Trading Estate, 1.9 miles east of New Marston, combine warehouse slabs, yards and loading bays, all with joints under wheels. A campus such as Oxford Brookes University Marston Road Site, less than half a mile to the south-east of New Marston, has long runs of movement joint in its buildings, decks and paving.

Why it’s worth doing now in New Marston
Open joints are where dirt collects where scrubber-driers can’t get it out. 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. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.

Do you need floor joint sealing in New Marston?
A soft, flexible sealant on a forklift route can’t hold the arrises up and the edges fail regardless. It can go the other way too: a rigid fill in a joint that is still opening cracks or debonds.
Look out for the following:
- Joint edges breaking up under truck wheels
- Open saw cuts full of debris
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
- Scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor
For an estate such as John Radcliffe Hospital (0.7 miles east of New Marston), the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.
What your quote should include
- How joint depth will be controlled
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Their public liability cover
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
How the quote is worked out
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Before you send an enquiry
We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The product your specification calls for
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
