Our process
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Smaller jobs around Oare can be grouped with others nearby. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- First comes a walk of the floor to record joint sizes, broken edges and traffic routes.
- A fixed quote follows, listing the treatment for each area and the order of work.
- Old filler, debris and contamination are cut or routed out back to clean concrete.
- Dust is extracted from the joint and primer applied where the manufacturer specifies it.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Advice
How we handle floor joint sealing in Oare
Some joints reach us with their edges already broken. Filling against a crumbled arris won’t hold for long, so if the edges need repair before any filling, we’ll say so and explain how it affects the programme. If you have broken arrises where pallet trucks cross and a rough ride across broken joints, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Searching for sealant specialists in Oare? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Around smaller places such as Oare, 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.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

When to call us in Oare
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 stiff filler in a joint that keeps moving splits or comes away from the sides.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Untidy open joints in a retail unit
- Open saw cuts full of debris
- Old filler gone hard, cracked or loose
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
Around Oare, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves.
What to look for in a quote
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Their public liability cover
What sealant work can’t fix
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Joint edges that have already broken away, which need repairing before filling (we’ll tell you if so)
- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Construction joints
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Retail and showroom floors

- Saw-cut induced joints
- Loading bays
What else we do in Oare
When to bring in a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Common questions from Oare clients
Is a smaller place like Oare outside your area?
Not at all. Oare is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can being near the sea in Oare affect the sealant we need?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
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.
Can you fill joints where the arrises have spalled?
We check the edges as part of the survey. Where they have broken away, we’ll tell you before quoting the filling, so nothing is filled that won’t hold.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Floor joint sealing around Oare: points for this area
The sea is no more than about 2 miles from Oare. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. Oare is about 44 miles from central London. The roads out of London are lined with trade parks and distribution sheds; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift.
Schools like Davington Primary School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.
Oare is about 1 mile north of Faversham, in Kent. We send applicators to Oare for floor joints. We work across 931 places in Kent, from busy centres to rural villages. There’s a separate page for London, about 44 miles away.

Owners, agents and contractors
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.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Maintenance after handover
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
- Expect fillers on young slabs to need a top-up
- Start with the dock areas, where joints fail soonest
Normal floor cleaning is fine once the product has cured. If you use strong chemicals or hot-water washing, mention it when we quote so we choose something that tolerates them.
Every day an open joint stays full of grit, the edges take more punishment. Getting it filled stops the damage before it becomes a repair.
