How we handle floor joint sealing in Sherington
Open joints take a beating from forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Each crossing knocks the unsupported edge, and over time a neat cut turns into a ragged channel. Filling the joint properly gives the edges back their support, which is kinder to trucks, loads and operators. If you’re dealing with joint fill separating from the concrete and saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit, we can put it right. Whoever orders the work in Sherington, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Sherington have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll come back to it.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Sherington?
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
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
- Old filler gone hard, cracked or loose
- Chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes
Business parks such as Cromwell Business Park, 2.2 miles to the south of Sherington, have car parks, paved areas and long brick and panel elevations, all with movement joints.
What your quote should include
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
Our process
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. If others near Sherington need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We agree the traffic routes and phasing with your site team.
- Any joints with broken edges are flagged before work starts.
- We clear each run back to clean concrete.
- We fill the joints with the agreed product, finished level.
- Each area is handed back when ready for traffic.
What we need from you
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Advice
Why deal with it now?
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, with longer closures to match. Around Sherington, 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.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Different surfaces, different methods
Retail and showroom floors
Retail joints see trolleys, footfall and scrubber-driers. The product is chosen for that traffic and the appearance is part of the brief.
Loading bays and dock areas
We normally work through dock areas a few bays at a time so goods in and out carry on. Your site hours and access windows set the order.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Sherington. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Questions we’re asked in Sherington
Do you cover business parks and estates near Sherington, such as Cromwell Business Park?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Sherington, Cromwell Business Park among them, are all within reach. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Will our site in Sherington have to close for joint sealing?
In most cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
Do you work in Sherington?
Yes. We take on work across Sherington.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Why is there a gap next to the joint filler?
On newer slabs, the concrete keeps shrinking after the joints are filled and a stiff filler can separate down one side. A top-up normally puts it right.

When to bring in a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
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.
