Questions we are asked in Rodmersham
Can you work at a site such as Kent Science Park, by Rodmersham?
Yes, sites like Kent Science Park are within our area, along with the rest of Rodmersham. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Our building in Rodmersham is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
What do you need from us to quote?
A rough joint length, a few photos and a site plan let us give a quick quote. For larger floors, a site visit is often best so give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form to set one up.
Do you guarantee industrial floor joints?
Every job has our 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later slab movement or damage from impacts.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Floor joint sealing in Rodmersham, done properly
Before quoting, we look at what the floor is telling us: how wide the joints are, signs of ongoing movement, the wheel types crossing them and the state of the arrises. That tells us whether semi-rigid filler or flexible sealant suits each run, area by area where it needs to be. The enquiries we see most involve soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints and scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor, across loading bays, retail and showroom floors and forklift and pallet-truck routes. Whoever orders the work in Rodmersham, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In and around smaller places like Rodmersham, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. 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, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll come back to it.

General trades versus a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Traffic, movement and joints around Rodmersham
Rodmersham is within about 3 miles of the coast. 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. Rainfall across the South East, Rodmersham included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.
For buildings at a park such as Kent Science Park (1.8 miles west of Rodmersham), brick and panel movement joints are easy to forget until one leaks. Schools such as Rodmersham School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Rodmersham?
Small, hard wheels put a lot of load through a very small area. Crossing an open joint, the wheel drops and knocks the opposite arris, and repeated impacts break the concrete away.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Loading bay joints breaking down
- Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
- Cracked and crumbling joint fill
- A rough ride across broken joints
Sites like Sittingbourne Memorial Hospital, 1.4 miles north-west of Rodmersham, carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints.
What your quote should include
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- What site paperwork they can supply
After the work
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
- Hold traffic back until the product has cured
- Keep photos of joints that look like they’re failing
- Remind operators to lift rather than drag
Walk the main truck routes every few months and look along the joint lines. Look for separation down one side, new chips in the arris and debris gathering and keep photos so changes are easy to compare.
Every day an open joint stays full of grit, the edges take more punishment. Filling it ends that cycle before it becomes a repair.
On site: what to expect
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Rural sites near Rodmersham may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- A floor survey records every joint, its edges and what crosses it.
- You receive a fixed quote showing products and phasing.
- Old fill and packed debris come out until both faces are sound.
- We extract the dust and prime the faces if the product needs it.
- The joint is filled to its specified depth and trimmed level.
- Zones reopen once cured and the work moves on.
Preparing the site

- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Why deal with it now?
A floor coating laid over open joints soon cracks along the joint lines. The joints have to be filled or sealed as joints, whether or not the floor is coated. For buildings around smaller places like Rodmersham, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
A quote for floor joints depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.
