About our floor joint sealing in Shirkoak
We have been sealing commercial joints since 2005. Applicators carry CSCS cards and work to your site rules, and the business is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member holding public liability insurance. Completed joints come with a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Most enquiries involve joint fill separating from the concrete and trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints, across forklift and pallet-truck routes, joints along racking aisles and loading bays. Whoever orders the work in Shirkoak, the brief is usually the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Shirkoak have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Different surfaces, different methods
Isolation joints at walls and columns
Perimeter and column joints get forgotten and fill up with dirt. We record them with the rest of the floor joints.
Semi-rigid joint fillers
A semi-rigid fill can separate along one side while a slab is still shrinking. That is normally dealt with by topping up later and we will flag it at quote stage.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Smaller jobs around Shirkoak can be grouped with others nearby. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- Each area is assessed for joint width, arris damage and the wheels that cross it.
- The quote fixes the price, names the filler or sealant and shows how the floor will be zoned.
- Each joint is cleared of old fill and dirt and taken back to clean, sound edges.
- Dust is extracted from the joint and primer applied where the manufacturer specifies it.
- The chosen product is placed to its specified depth and trimmed level with the floor.
- We tell you when each zone can carry trucks again and move on to the next.

Why act early in Shirkoak
An open joint is a modest filling job while its edges are sound. Left until they break, it needs an edge repair before any filling can start which means more downtime in that zone. Older rural buildings around Shirkoak move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Questions about Shirkoak
What paperwork can you provide for a job in Shirkoak?
We will confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Is Shirkoak too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
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.
What do you need from us to quote?
Use our quote form, or email photographs and a plan, with the traffic on each area. We then send a fixed quote that shows the products and zones.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Do you repair broken joint edges?
We check the edges as part of the survey. Damaged edges are flagged up front, so nothing is filled that won’t hold.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes a day or more, depending on the metres of joint and how many zones the floor is split into. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
What affects the price in Shirkoak
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The product specified
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Access and working height
- Location, for remote and island sites
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What to include in your enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The postcode of the building
- Any specification or named product
- Any dates the work must fit around
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Honest limits
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Structural cracking in the slab
- Level or flatness problems across the floor
- Spalled arrises, which need an edge repair first
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Retail and showroom floors
- Joints along racking aisles
- Loading bays

Floor joint sealing around Shirkoak: what changes locally
