Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Start with the dock areas, where joints fail soonest
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
- Hold traffic back until the product has cured
Problems inside the 12-month guarantee period are ours to put right. After that, a check before your busiest period keeps small repairs small.
Every vehicle on a busy aisle hits a damaged joint. Early treatment protects wheels, loads and drivers as much as the floor.
Floor joint sealing in Rettendon
Forklifts and pallet trucks are hard on open joints. 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 forklift and pallet-truck routes, loading bays and construction joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are joint edges breaking up under truck wheels and saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit.

Questions we are asked in Rettendon
Is a smaller place like Rettendon outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Baddow 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.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Should floor joints be filled or sealed?
We decide joint by joint. Where hard wheels cross, a semi-rigid filler is normally right, and movement joints or perimeters need something flexible. The quote sets out what goes where.
When can forklifts run over new joint filler?
Cure times vary with the product and how cold the slab is. You’ll get a reopening time for each area when we agree the phasing.
What do you need from us to quote?
A rough joint length, a few photographs and a site plan are normally enough for a quick quote. We can visit where that helps so give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to set one up.
Will we need to close the floor?
In the majority of cases, just the area being treated is coned off. Traffic returns to each zone once it has cured and the next zone follows.
How a job runs
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off.

Surface by surface
Loading bays and dock areas
Bays can be treated one or two at a time so goods in and out carry on. Your site hours and access windows set the order.
Retail and showroom floors
We plan shop-floor work so trading can continue. Give us your opening pattern and access windows and the phasing follows.
Why it’s worth doing now in Rettendon
Not every joint needs stripping out completely. If old material is sound on one face and only a fine gap has opened, it may not all have to come out, and we’ll say which joints need what. Halls, stores and units around places like Rettendon may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
