Floor joint sealing in Northbourne
Most industrial slabs are divided into panels by saw-cut joints and construction 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 arrises are supported and grit stays out. If you’re dealing with old filler gone hard, cracked or loose and joint fill separating from the concrete, we can help. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Northbourne, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around smaller places such as Northbourne, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Warehouse floors and decks around Northbourne
At about 65 miles from central London, Northbourne is within reach of the capital. The roads out of London are lined with trade parks and distribution sheds, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day. Rainfall across the South East, Northbourne included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External joints still wait for dry conditions, while winter salting gets into any joint left open.
Warehouse floors on estates like Pike Road Industrial Estate, 3 miles west of Northbourne, carry pallet trucks and forklifts over every saw-cut joint. For a school such as Northbourne Church of England Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays. Hospitals like Victoria Hospital (2.2 miles east of Northbourne) have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock.
Northbourne is about 2 miles west of Deal, in Kent. We send applicators to Northbourne for floor joints. Northbourne is one of 931 places in Kent on our list. Sites around London have their own page, about 65 miles away.

On site: what to expect
A typical day starts with protection: 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 work around Northbourne, 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.
- A floor survey records every joint, its edges and what crosses it.
- The treatment and the zones are set out in a fixed quote.
- Each joint is cut or routed back to clean, sound concrete.
- Dust is vacuumed out and primer applied where specified.
- Filler or sealant is placed to depth and finished flush.
- Zones reopen once cured and the work moves on.
Before we start on site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
Ask for a quote
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Advice
Owners, agents and contractors
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Worn screed or surface finishes
- Broken concrete either side of the joint
- Cracks across panels caused by settlement or overload
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Retail and showroom floors
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Loading bays
- Joints along racking aisles
- Construction joints
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes

Your questions answered
Is a hospital such as Victoria Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is Northbourne too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Why is there a gap next to the joint filler?
Separation typically comes from slab shrinkage, poor preparation or the wrong product. We diagnose the cause before suggesting a fix.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Will we need to close the floor?
Usually only the zone we are working in has to close. Traffic returns to each zone once it has cured and the next zone follows.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes a day or more, depending on the metres of joint and how many zones the floor is split into. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Northbourne
Holding off until the whole floor can close can take a long time. Zone by zone, the worst aisles can be dealt with now while the rest of the floor carries on. Around Northbourne, 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.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Expect fillers on young slabs to need a top-up
- Start with the dock areas, where joints fail soonest
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
Walk the main truck routes every few months and look along the joint lines. Watch for filler pulling away from an edge, fresh chipping or grit collecting and keep photos so changes are easy to compare.
Joints are easiest to look after when someone checks them regularly. We can quote a programme that starts with the busiest areas so nothing is left to fail.
What affects the price in Northbourne
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Phasing around occupants
- How much there is to seal
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Location, for remote and island sites
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
Details that help us quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Your programme or deadline
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
