About our floor joint sealing in Outwood
Concrete floors in warehouses and factories are cut into bays with saw cuts and day joints, and every one of those joints is an exposed edge under hard wheels. Our job is to put the right filler or sealant into them for the loads and the movement they see, so the arrises are supported and grit stays out. We work on joints along racking aisles, retail and showroom floors and construction joints, and what we’re called in for most is old filler gone hard, cracked or loose and chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Outwood, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Around smaller places such as Outwood, 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.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

What else we do in Outwood
When to bring in a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
When to call us in Outwood
A slab keeps shrinking for a long time after it is cast, and saw-cut joints give that shrinkage a planned place to crack. As the panels contract, the joints widen so a filler put in early may separate along one side.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Drivers complaining about joints on a route
- Joint edges breaking up under truck wheels
- Grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor
- Unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit
For buildings at a park such as Hays Bridge Business Park, 2 miles east of Outwood, brick and panel movement joints are easy to forget until one leaks.
What your quote should include
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Make joint checks part of your floor inspections
- Put loading bays at the top of the list
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
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 the product suits them.
Joint damage starts slowly and then speeds up. Once the first piece is out, wheels drop further and hit harder so early treatment saves a lot of trouble.
On site: what to expect
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 anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself typically taking anything from a day for one loading bay to several days for a large floor, split into phases. For a building around Outwood, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- We agree the traffic routes and phasing with your site team.
- Any joints with broken edges are flagged before work starts.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Warehouse floors and decks around Outwood
Less than 3 miles from Outwood there are at least three named estates and business parks. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, while winter salting gets into any joint left open.
Hospitals like East Surrey Hospital (to the north-west of Outwood) have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock. Schools such as Oakwood School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.
Outwood is about 3 miles east of Horley, in Surrey. Across the RH1 postcode area, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Across Surrey, 379 places are covered, Outwood among them. London is covered too, some 21 miles away.
Work on floor joints is covered throughout RH1, for business premises of every kind. We cover commercial and managed buildings on Miller's Lane, Bellwether Lane and Scott's Hill. Just outside Outwood, we also work in Smallfield (1 mile south), Horley (3 miles west), Burstow (3 miles south), Fernhill (3 miles south-west) and Keeper's Corner (3 miles south). Further afield, our area takes in Epsom (12 miles north-west), Redhill (4 miles north-west), Ewell (13 miles north-west), Reigate (5 miles north-west), Caterham (7 miles north) and Dorking (10 miles west).

Questions we are asked in Outwood
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like East Surrey Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Does your area include sites such as Hays Bridge Business Park, near Outwood?
Yes. We cover Outwood and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Hays Bridge Business Park. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Is Outwood in your area?
Yes. We take on work across Outwood, and the same phone number covers every area.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
How long before trucks can use the joints?
Cure times vary with the product and the conditions. We will give you a time for each zone before we start.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Why it’s worth doing now in Outwood
Holding off until the whole floor can close can take a long time. Phased in zones, the busiest routes can be treated first while the rest of the floor carries on. Halls, stores and units around places like Outwood may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
