Floor joint sealing in Old Romney
A working floor can rarely be closed for days on end, so the work is split into zones and treated one area at a time. Share your site hours and access windows and the programme is built around them, with goods still moving in the areas we aren’t in. If you are dealing with sealant pulled out along a truck route and a rough ride across broken joints, we can help, on retail and showroom floors, loading bays and forklift and pallet-truck routes alike. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Old Romney it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Old Romney have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds
- Structural cracking in the slab
- A floor that is out of level for the racking or trucks
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

How a job runs
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself typically taking between a day and a number of days, set by the joint lengths, the edge condition and the phasing you need. Smaller jobs around Old Romney can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- 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.
- We remove failed material and packed debris until sound concrete is exposed on both faces.
- We vacuum each run and prime it if the chosen product requires a primer.
- The chosen product is placed to its specified depth and trimmed level with the floor.
- The area is handed back once it has cured enough to take traffic.
What we need from you
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

Quoting for work in Old Romney
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Access and working height
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- How much there is to seal
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What we need to price the job
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Questions we are asked in Old Romney
Is a smaller place like Old Romney outside your area?
Not at all. Old Romney 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.
Does your area include sites such as Peak Industrial Park, near Old Romney?
Yes, sites like Peak Industrial Park are within our area, along with the rest of Old Romney. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Do you repair broken joint edges?
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.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually takes between a day and a number of days, set by the joint lengths, the edge condition and the phasing you need. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
How do we get a quote for floor joints?
Send details through our quote form or by email, with the traffic on each area. We then send a fixed quote that shows the products and zones.
When to call us in Old Romney
Left open, joints fill with grit, wrap and wood fragments. Packed debris acts like a wedge every time a wheel crosses, speeding up the damage.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
- Joint fill separating from the concrete
- Brittle joint filler breaking up
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
Estates like Peak Industrial Park, 2.4 miles to the south-east of Old Romney, combine warehouse slabs, yards and loading bays, all with joints under wheels.
What your quote should include
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
Floors, slabs and movement joints in Old Romney
At about 55 miles from central London, Old Romney is within reach of the capital. The roads out of London are lined with trade parks and distribution sheds. Old Romney sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.
Schools such as The Marsh Academy have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.

Around Old Romney

Should maintenance staff do it?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.

Surface by surface
Construction joints
Construction joints, sometimes called day joints, mark where one pour ended and the next began. They often see more movement than sawn joints, and that shapes the product choice.
Flexible floor sealants
A flexible sealant suits perimeter and movement joints away from the heaviest traffic. Closed-cell backing rod goes in first, keeping the bead shallow and gripping only the two faces.
