When to call us in Oldbury
Small, hard wheels put a lot of load through a very small area. Crossing an open joint, the wheel drops and knocks the opposite arris and those knocks chip the edge apart bit by bit.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Flexible sealant torn out by wheels
- Joint edges breaking up under truck wheels
- Dock area joints that have failed first
- Filler that has parted from one face
In a school such as Ightham Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.

How we handle floor joint sealing in Oldbury
Open joints take a beating from forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Every pass chips at the bare concrete edge, and over time a neat cut turns into a ragged channel. A properly filled joint carries the wheel over and protects both arrises, which is kinder to trucks, loads and operators. We work on loading bays, retail and showroom floors and saw-cut induced joints, and what we are called in for most is a gap opening alongside old joint filler and chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes. Whoever orders the work in Oldbury, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In and around smaller places like Oldbury, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: 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.

Owners, agents and contractors
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Should maintenance staff do it?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Questions about Oldbury
Is Oldbury too far out for you?
No. Places such as Oldbury are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Is Bourne Enterprise Centre, near Oldbury, within your area?
Yes, sites like Bourne Enterprise Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Oldbury. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit normally takes between a day and a number of days, set by the joint lengths, the edge condition and the phasing you need. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Do you use semi-rigid filler or flexible sealant on floor joints?
The answer comes from the traffic and the joint’s movement. Forklift routes generally call for a semi-rigid filler that holds the arrises, while joints that move more take a flexible sealant.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Is it normal for joint filler to separate?
It can be shrinkage, contamination on the joint faces or a product unsuited to the movement. We diagnose the cause before suggesting a fix.
What guarantee do you give on joint filling?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee, and we hold public liability insurance.

Cost factors for floor joints
These are the things that shape the price:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Working within restricted access windows
- The total length or number of joints
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Sending details for a quote
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
- Hold traffic back until the product has cured
- Let us know what the floor is cleaned with
- Expect fillers on young slabs to need a top-up
Keep traffic off fresh joints until the time we give you and it pays to stick to it. Cones or barriers stop the first driver cutting the corner.
Edges tend to break slowly at first, then quickly. Once the first piece is out, wheels drop further and hit harder, so it pays to act at the first signs.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Rural sites near Oldbury may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- We look at joint widths, edge condition and the traffic on each route.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and the phasing set out.
- 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.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
