Floor joint sealing in Northfleet Green, done properly
Sometimes the concrete either side of a joint has already spalled. A filler laid against broken edges has nothing sound to grip, so we will tell you if the joint edges need repairing first and leave that decision with you. We work on loading bays, joints along racking aisles and forklift and pallet-truck routes, and what we’re called in for most is untidy open joints in a retail unit and failing joints at loading bays and dock doors. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Northfleet Green is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Northfleet Green have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Our process
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. For a building around Northfleet Green, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- First comes a walk of the floor to record joint sizes, broken edges and traffic routes.
- 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.
- 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.
- The area is handed back once it has cured enough to take traffic.
Getting the site ready
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Why it’s worth doing now in Northfleet Green
While the arrises are intact, filling a joint is straightforward. Wait until the edges have spalled and the concrete needs repairing before the joint can be filled, with longer closures to match. For buildings around smaller places like Northfleet Green, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
- Make joint checks part of your floor inspections
- Keep grit out of unfilled joints in the meantime
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets along the floor. Even a well-filled joint can be damaged by steel scraping along it.
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 else we do in Northfleet Green
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Northfleet Green
A soft, flexible sealant on a forklift route can’t hold the arrises up, so the concrete still breaks beside it. It can go the other way too: a stiff filler in a joint that keeps moving splits or comes away from the sides.
Look out for the following:
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
- Grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor
- Dock area joints that have failed first
- Cracked and crumbling joint fill
Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Imperial Retail Park (2.2 miles north-east of Northfleet Green): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time.
What to look for in a quote

- What site paperwork they can supply
- Proof of insurance
What the job involves on each surface
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.
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Truck routes take traffic all day and the joints on them break down first. Semi-rigid fillers are widely used on these routes to hold the edges up.
Questions we are asked in Northfleet Green
Will you take on work at estates like Imperial Business Park, close to Northfleet Green?
Yes, sites like Imperial Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Northfleet Green. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Would you work within a site like Gravesham Community Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
How do we get a quote for floor joints?
A rough joint length, a few photographs and a site plan are normally enough for a quick quote. We can visit where that helps so call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over to set one up.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Why is there a gap next to the joint filler?
Separation normally comes from slab shrinkage, poor preparation or the wrong product. We diagnose the cause before suggesting a fix.
How long before trucks can use the joints?
Each product has its own cure time and cooler floors take longer. Phasing is planned with that in mind.
