About our floor joint sealing in Shalford
Across Shalford and the rest of Surrey, it runs the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Approximate joint lengths, a few photos and a floor plan are enough for a quick quote, or we can arrange a site visit. If you have joint edges breaking up under truck wheels and sealant pulled out along a truck route, we can put it right, on saw-cut induced joints, retail and showroom floors and construction joints alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Shalford, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Shalford have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Common problems we fix in Shalford
An ageing filler or sealant can go brittle and split especially under daily scrubbing and traffic. At that point it neither holds the edges nor keeps debris out.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Joint fill separating from the concrete
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
- Chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes
- Old filler gone hard, cracked or loose
Across sites such as Quadrum Industrial Park (0.9 miles west of Shalford), floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working.
Comparing quotes
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
When to bring in a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
On site: what to expect
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Smaller jobs around Shalford can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- A floor survey records every joint, its edges and what crosses it.
- The treatment and the zones are set out in a fixed quote.
- Each joint is cut or routed back to clean, sound concrete.
- Dust is vacuumed out and primer applied where specified.
- Filler or sealant is placed to depth and finished flush.
- We hand each phase back when it can take traffic.
Before we start on site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Advice
Honest limits
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Broken concrete either side of the joint
- Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds
- Wide or random cracking that suggests a structural issue
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Shalford: questions and answers
Can you work on a hospital site such as Mount Alvernia Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Does your area include sites such as Broadford Business Park, near Shalford?
Yes. We cover Shalford and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Broadford Business Park. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
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, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Can the warehouse stay open while you work?
The work is phased. Areas are taken out of use a section at a time around the site hours and access windows you give us.
Is Shalford in your area?
Yes. Shalford is in our area, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. For a quote, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.

Cost factors for floor joints

- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.

Leave it or put it right?
Waiting for a site-wide shutdown often means the joints keep getting worse. Zone by zone, the worst aisles can be dealt with now while the rest of the floor carries on. Around Shalford, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
