Why it’s worth doing now in Rackham
Open joints are where dirt collects, out of reach of the floor cleaner. In shops, showrooms and clean production areas that matters for hygiene and appearance. Filled joints are far simpler to keep clean. Converted and older buildings near places like Rackham tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.

Questions about Rackham
Is Rackham 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 photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Is Quell Farm Industrial Estate, near Rackham, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Rackham and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Quell Farm Industrial Estate included. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
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, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
How long before trucks can use the joints?
Cure times vary with the product and how cold the slab is. You will get a reopening time for each area before we start.
Will we need to close the floor?
Usually only the zone we’re working in has to close. Each zone reopens when the product can take traffic, then we move to the next.
How do we get a quote for floor joints?
Use our quote form, or email photographs and a plan, with the traffic on each area. A fixed quote follows that shows the products and zones.
Is it normal for joint filler to separate?
Separation usually comes from slab shrinkage, poor preparation or the wrong product. We diagnose the cause before suggesting a fix.
Keeping the joints sound
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
- Hold traffic back until the product has cured
- Keep grit out of unfilled joints in the meantime
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
Young concrete carries on shrinking, so some fillers part slightly from one face. That is common and is usually dealt with by topping up once the slab has settled down.
Joints are easiest to look after when someone checks them regularly. We can quote a programme that starts with the busiest areas so nothing is left to fail.
When something else is needed
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Broken concrete either side of the joint
- A floor that is out of level for the racking or trucks
- Worn screed or surface finishes
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal

What else we do in Rackham
What we’re called out for in Rackham
Floor joints collect dust, oil, curing compound and cleaning residue. Without cutting back to sound, clean concrete, the new material simply lifts out.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor
- Joint edges breaking up under truck wheels
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
- A rough ride across broken joints
For an occupier at a site such as Quell Farm Industrial Estate, 1.7 miles to the north-west of Rackham, the joints at loading doors and dock levellers normally see the hardest wear.
Questions to ask before you book
- What site paperwork they can supply
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
General trades versus a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Warehouse floors and decks around Rackham
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, while winter salting gets into any joint left open. At about 44 miles from central London, Rackham is within reach of the capital. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day.
Large sites such as Arundel and District Hospital (4.8 miles south-west of Rackham) have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels.
