Floor joint sealing for Sheldwich Lees sites
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
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. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Construction joints
Construction joints, sometimes called day joints, mark where one pour ended and the next began. They can move more than saw cuts, and that shapes the product choice.
Floor joint sealing in Sheldwich Lees, done properly
Forklifts and pallet trucks are hard on open joints. Each crossing knocks the unsupported edge, and over time a neat cut turns into a ragged channel. A properly filled joint carries the wheel over and protects both arrises. It also smooths the route for drivers and stock. We work on joints along racking aisles, forklift and pallet-truck routes and saw-cut induced joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are open saw cuts full of debris and soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Sheldwich Lees from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
For a site near Sheldwich Lees, measurements and photographs up front mean one trip where possible, with the right materials on hand. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we’ll take it from there.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

What happens if it’s left?
Painting or coating straight over joints rarely lasts. Joints need their own treatment, whether or not the floor is coated. Around Sheldwich Lees, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
A quote for floor joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.

Floor joint sealing in Sheldwich Lees: the local picture
The South East is one of the drier 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. At about 45 miles from central London, Sheldwich Lees is within reach of the capital. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift.
In and around Sheldwich Lees, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.

Your questions answered
What site paperwork comes with a job in Sheldwich Lees?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we will confirm it with the quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Is Sheldwich Lees too far out for you?
Not at all. Sheldwich Lees is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
What happens if the joint edges are damaged?
A filler needs sound edges to grip. We will tell you if the joint edges need repairing first and set out how that affects the job.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Will we need to close the floor?
In most cases, just the area being treated is coned off. Each zone reopens when the product can take traffic and the next zone follows.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically takes between a day and a number of days, set by the joint lengths, the edge condition and the phasing you need. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For work around Sheldwich Lees, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- 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.
- The joint is filled to its specified depth and trimmed level.
- We hand each phase back when it can take traffic.
Getting the site ready
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Common problems we fix in Sheldwich Lees
Unfilled joints soon pack with grit, shrink-wrap scraps and pallet splinters. Packed debris acts like a wedge every time a wheel crosses, speeding up the damage.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
- Chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
- Trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints
For a school such as Sheldwich Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
