Surface by surface
Saw-cut induced joints
Sawn joints make up most of the joint length in a typical industrial floor. Each one is cleaned out and filled to the specified depth with a flush finish.
Loading bays and dock areas
We typically work through dock areas a few bays at a time so deliveries keep moving. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Floor joint sealing in Newnham
Concrete floors in warehouses and factories are cut into bays with saw cuts and day joints, and every one of those joints is an exposed edge under hard wheels. We fill or seal them with a product matched to the traffic and the movement so the edges are held up and debris can’t pack in. Site teams most often ask us about filler that has parted from one face and loading bay joints breaking down, on loading bays, forklift and pallet-truck routes and saw-cut induced joints. For commercial sealant work in Newnham, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Around smaller places such as Newnham, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Work for main contractors and building owners
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Doing it in-house
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.

FAQs: Newnham
Which documents can you supply for work in Newnham?
We will confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Is a smaller place like Newnham outside your area?
Not at all. Newnham is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
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.
Should floor joints be filled or sealed?
It depends on the traffic and the movement. Forklift routes generally call for a semi-rigid filler that holds the arrises and joints with more movement take a flexible sealant.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
What do you need from us to quote?
A rough joint length, a few photos and a site plan let us give a quick quote. We can visit where that helps, and you can call 01277 525 020 or email us to arrange it.
Our process
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For work around Newnham, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- We look at joint widths, edge condition and the traffic on each route.
- A fixed quote follows, listing the treatment for each area and the order of work.
- Each joint is cleared of old fill and dirt and taken back to clean, sound edges.
- We vacuum each run and prime it if the chosen product requires a primer.
- We fill each joint to depth and finish it flush so wheels roll straight across.
- We tell you when each zone can carry trucks again and move on to the next.
Before we start on site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Arrange parking or a loading space

Common problems we fix in Newnham
A slab keeps shrinking for a long time after it is cast, and saw-cut joints give that shrinkage a planned place to crack. Each panel pulls back as it shrinks and the joints open up so a filler put in early may separate along one side.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Dock area joints that have failed first
- Unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit
- A rough ride across broken joints
- Cracked and crumbling joint fill
For floors and slabs around Newnham, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint.

Joints that move: notes for Newnham
At about 41 miles from central London, Newnham is within reach of the capital. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.
Schools such as Eastling Primary School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.
