When to call us in Sholden Meadows
A soft, flexible sealant on a forklift route can’t hold the arrises up and the edges fail regardless. It can go the other way too: a stiff filler in a joint that keeps moving splits or comes away from the sides.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
- Filler that has parted from one face
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
In a school such as Sholden Church of England Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
What your quote should include
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- What site paperwork they can supply
How we handle floor joint sealing in Sholden Meadows
Across Sholden Meadows and the rest of Kent, it runs the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. A rough length of joint, photographs of the worst areas and a site plan let us give a quick quote, or we can arrange a site visit. Site teams most often ask us about old filler gone hard, cracked or loose and joint edges breaking up under truck wheels, on construction joints, forklift and pallet-truck routes and loading bays. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Sholden Meadows first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Sholden Meadows have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Why act early in Sholden Meadows
Waiting for a site-wide shutdown often means the joints keep getting worse. Phased in zones, the busiest routes can be treated first while the rest of the floor carries on. Older rural buildings around Sholden Meadows 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.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Certain joints really need a specialist: 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.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Your questions answered
Is a smaller place like Sholden Meadows outside your area?
No. Places such as Sholden Meadows are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Does a coastal location like Sholden Meadows affect which sealant is used?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work normally takes a day for smaller units, with bigger warehouse floors programmed over several visits. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
How soon can traffic go back on the floor?
Cure times vary with the product and the conditions. You’ll get a reopening time for each area when we agree the phasing.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
Do you repair broken joint edges?
Edge condition is recorded when we look at the floor. Damaged edges are flagged up front so the filling isn’t wasted.
When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Structural cracking in the slab
- Level or flatness problems across the floor
- Slab panels that rock or move under load
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

- You receive a fixed quote showing products and phasing.
- Each joint is cut or routed back to clean, sound concrete.

How the quote is worked out
To price the job, we consider:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Distance, for remote addresses
