Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Floor joint sealing in Shenley Church End, done properly
Open joints take a beating from forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Every pass chips at the bare concrete edge, and over time a neat cut turns into a ragged channel. A properly filled joint carries the wheel over and protects both arrises, which is kinder to trucks, loads and operators. The enquiries we see most involve brittle joint filler breaking up and grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor, across saw-cut induced joints, loading bays and retail and showroom floors. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Shenley Church End? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Around Shenley Church End, most floor and movement joint jobs are single buildings or yards. That way the right materials come on the day and the job is done in one visit where possible.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Advice
Shenley Church End: questions and answers
Do you cover business parks and estates near Shenley Church End, such as Crownhill Business Park?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Shenley Church End, Crownhill Business Park among them, are all within reach. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Our unit in Milton Keynes is decades old: is it worth resealing the floor joints?
Generally yes, provided the arrises are still in reasonable shape. Resealing with the right filler or sealant for the traffic keeps grit out and protects the arrises, and we will tell you if the edges need repairing first.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Will we need to close the floor?
Typically only the zone we are working in has to close. Traffic returns to each zone once it has cured and the next zone follows.
What we can’t put right
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Cracks across panels caused by settlement or overload
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job
- Slab panels that rock or move under load
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surface by surface
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Open route joints are hard on equipment and drivers. Filling them gives a smoother run and saves the edges.
Loading bays and dock areas
Dock areas see tight turns, heavy loads and weather blowing in. Joints here normally fail first, so they are often the place to start.
What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Working within restricted access windows
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Location, for remote and island sites
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
Before you send an enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- When you need the work done
- The product your specification calls for
