Common questions from Ramsgate clients
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother Hospital, something you do?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Does the sea air around Ramsgate change the choice of sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Is colour matching possible?
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.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes anything from a day for one loading bay to several days for a large floor, split into phases. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Can you fill joints where the arrises have spalled?
Filling against broken edges doesn’t last. We’ll tell you if the joint edges need repairing first, so you can decide how to proceed.
Floor joint sealing in Ramsgate, done properly
We diagnose the floor first rather than guessing at a product: joint widths, whether the joints are still opening, what runs over them and how the edges have held up. From that we choose between a semi-rigid filler and a more flexible sealant and the answer can differ from one zone to the next. Site teams most often ask us about trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints and unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit, across construction joints, loading bays and retail and showroom floors. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Ramsgate it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Joints in town car parks and service yards take tyres, de-icing salt and standing water. Resealing before the edges break up is far less disruptive than repairing them later.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Ramsgate
Oil, laitance, dust and old cleaning chemicals build up inside joints. If the faces aren’t taken back to clean concrete first the new filler can’t stay bonded.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Filler that has parted from one face
- Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
- Open saw cuts full of debris
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
Centres like Broadstairs Retail Park (to the north of Ramsgate) have mall floors and service decks whose joints carry steady traffic.

Why deal with it now?
Dirt and spillage gather in open joints where scrubber-driers can’t get it out. Where the floor is on show or needs to be kept clean, that is a problem. Flush, filled joints leave nothing for cleaners to dig out. In a town such as Ramsgate, a lot of buildings are older and have been altered over time, so joints between old and new are often the first to go. Renewing them before water gets in protects the fabric.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you are ready.

Owners, agents and contractors
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Floor joint sealing around Ramsgate: what changes locally
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Ramsgate. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. Ramsgate is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.
Another example is Old Timber Yard Industrial Estate (1.1 miles west of Ramsgate), where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers. For a school such as Priory Infant School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.
Ramsgate is in Kent. Anywhere in CT11, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Ramsgate is one of 931 places we cover in Kent for floor joints. There’s a separate page for London, about 66 miles away.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work typically takes a day for smaller units, with bigger warehouse floors programmed over several visits, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. In a town such as Ramsgate, most jobs are single buildings. We start with your photographs, drawings or a site visit, then send a fixed quote.

- The treatment and the zones are set out in a fixed quote.
- Each joint is cut or routed back to clean, sound concrete.
