Different surfaces, different methods
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Trucks running over open joints wear wheels and shake loads. A filled joint lets wheels roll across and saves the edges.
Saw-cut induced joints
Induced joints are sawn into a new slab to control where it cracks. They are narrow but open up as the panels shrink so trafficked runs need a filler that holds the arrises.
Doing it in-house
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sholden can form part of a wider programme across Kent.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
What happens if it’s left?
While the arrises are intact, filling a joint is straightforward. Left until they break, it needs an edge repair before any filling can start, with longer closures to match. Older rural buildings around Sholden move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What you get with us
- Fully insured, including public liability cover
- Over 20 years of commercial sealing

Floor joint sealing around Sholden: how the place shapes the job
The sea is no more than about 2 miles from Sholden. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. Rainfall across the South East, Sholden included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.
A healthcare site such as Victoria Hospital, 0.8 miles to the south-east of Sholden, depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.

Related advice
Sholden: questions and answers
Our building in Sholden is near the coast: does that change the 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.
Is Sholden off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
How do we get a quote for floor joints?
Approximate metres of joint, photographs of typical and worst areas, and a floor plan let us give a quick quote. We can visit where that helps so speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form to set one up.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
When can forklifts run over new joint filler?
Each product has its own cure time and cooler floors take longer. Phasing is planned with that in mind.
What we are called out for in Sholden
A soft, flexible sealant on a forklift route can’t hold the arrises up, so the concrete still breaks beside it. The opposite mistake happens as well: a rigid fill in a joint that is still opening cracks or debonds.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
- Unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit
- Dock area joints that have failed first
Schools such as Sholden Church of England Primary School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.
