Our process
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. If others near Sharnal Street need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We walk the floor and mark up joint widths, edge damage and traffic routes.
- The treatment and the zones are set out in a fixed quote.
- Old fill and packed debris come out until both faces are sound.
- Dust is vacuumed out and primer applied where specified.
- Filler or sealant is placed to depth and finished flush.
- Zones reopen once cured and the work moves on.
Preparing the site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Advice
How we handle floor joint sealing in Sharnal Street
Some joints reach us with their edges already broken. A filler laid against broken edges has nothing sound to grip, so if the edges need repair before any filling, we’ll say so and leave that decision with you. We work on loading bays, retail and showroom floors and forklift and pallet-truck routes, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are drivers complaining about joints on a route and cracked and crumbling joint fill. Most enquiries from Sharnal Street start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Jobs around smaller places like Sharnal Street are planned so the whole job is done in one visit. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we’ll take it from there.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Broken concrete either side of the joint
- Wide or random cracking that suggests a structural issue
- Slab panels that rock or move under load
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Retail and showroom floors
- Construction joints
- Loading bays
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Joints along racking aisles
What happens if it’s left?
An open joint is a modest filling job while its edges are sound. Wait until the edges have spalled and the concrete needs repairing before the joint can be filled which means more downtime in that zone. Converted and older buildings near places like Sharnal Street tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.

When to bring in a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
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, which is what makes a joint last.

Sharnal Street: questions and answers
Is a hospital such as Medway Maritime Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Does the sea air around Sharnal Street change the choice of sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Do you use semi-rigid filler or flexible sealant on floor joints?
It depends on the traffic and the movement. Forklift routes generally call for a semi-rigid filler that holds the arrises and joints with more movement take a flexible sealant.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.

Yes. Sharnal Street is in our area. For a quote, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Start with the dock areas, where joints fail soonest
- Keep photos of joints that look like they’re failing
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
- Clear packed debris from open joints regularly
Dragged forks and pallets gouge joints and edges alike. Steel tines will mark a good joint over time if it keeps happening.
A broken joint on a main route is crossed by every truck on that route. Sorting it early looks after your equipment as well as the slab.
