Joints that move: notes for Ridgewell
Ridgewell sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints. Central London is about 46 miles from Ridgewell. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital.
On industrial estates such as Hunnable Industrial Estate, which lies south-east of Ridgewell, saw-cut floor joints, loading bay slabs and yard joints take the heaviest traffic. Schools such as Ridgewell Church of England Primary School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.

About our floor joint sealing in Ridgewell
We diagnose the floor first rather than guessing at a product: how wide the joints are, signs of ongoing movement, the wheel types crossing them and the state of the arrises. 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. We work on loading bays, saw-cut induced joints and joints along racking aisles, and what we’re called in for most is loading bay joints breaking down and a rough ride across broken joints. Whoever orders the work in Ridgewell, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around smaller places such as Ridgewell, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will come back to it.

Honest limits
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Worn screed or surface finishes
- Spalled arrises, which need an edge repair first
- A floor that rocks at the joints, which needs a structural fix
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- How much there is to seal
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
What to include in your enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The site address and postcode
- Specification clauses that apply
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we’ll return a fixed quote you can plan around. If you have questions first, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
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.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.

Aftercare for building managers
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
- Make joint checks part of your floor inspections
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
Problems inside the 12-month guarantee period are ours to put right. After that, a check before your busiest period keeps small repairs small.
Joints are easiest to look after when someone checks them regularly. We can quote a programme that starts with the busiest areas and keeps on top of the rest.
Common questions from Ridgewell clients
Does your area include sites such as Hunnable Industrial Estate, near Ridgewell?
Yes. Our area takes in Ridgewell and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Hunnable Industrial Estate included. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Must our site in Ridgewell stop work while the joints are done?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Can you phase floor joint work around operations?
We phase it. We work aisle by aisle or zone by zone so the rest of the floor stays in use around the site hours and access windows you give us.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
