Our process
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. If others near Old Hawkinge need work, visits can be combined. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.
- We point out joints whose edges need repairing first.
- Failed material and debris are removed and the joint cleaned.
- The chosen filler or sealant goes in flush with the slab.
- You get a time for each zone to reopen.
What we need from you
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Advice
How the job changes by surface
Semi-rigid joint fillers
Semi-rigid fillers are designed to support joint edges under hard wheels. They allow only small movement, so they suit joints where most shrinkage has already happened.
Loading bays and dock areas
Loading bays combine the heaviest turning loads with wet tyres and cold air from open doors. Joints here normally fail first so many programmes begin here.
Old Hawkinge: questions and answers
Is Old Hawkinge too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Is a hospital such as Royal Victoria Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
What guarantee do you give on joint filling?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee, and we hold public liability insurance.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.

Floor joints collect dust, oil, curing compound and cleaning residue. Without cutting back to sound, clean concrete, the new material simply lifts out.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Loading bay joints breaking down
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
- Scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor
- A rough ride across broken joints
Sites like Royal Victoria Hospital, 2.1 miles south of Old Hawkinge, carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints.

- Distance, for remote addresses
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements

- How much there is to seal
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
What to include in your enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work

- The asbestos register, for older buildings
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to discuss it first.

When to bring in a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
