About our floor joint sealing in Smarden
We diagnose the floor first rather than guessing at a product: how wide the joints are, signs of ongoing movement, the wheel types crossing them and the state of the arrises. From that we choose between a semi-rigid filler and a more flexible sealant, area by area where it needs to be. If you have sealant pulled out along a truck route and old filler gone hard, cracked or loose, we can help, whatever the surface. Whoever orders the work in Smarden, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In and around smaller places like Smarden, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than 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.

Your questions answered
Will our site in Smarden have to close for joint sealing?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we’ll plan from there.
Is Smarden too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Is colour matching possible?
It depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Which is better for warehouse joints, filler or sealant?
The answer comes from the traffic and the joint’s movement. Trafficked joints on truck routes normally need a semi-rigid filler to support the edges, while joints that move more take a flexible sealant.
Doing it in-house
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.

Why deal with it now?
Holding off until the whole floor can close can take a long time. Phased in zones, the busiest routes can be treated first while the rest of the floor carries on. Converted and older buildings near places like Smarden tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Keep photos of joints that look like they’re failing
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
Once cured, the joints get cleaned along with the slab. If you use strong chemicals or hot-water washing, mention it when we quote so we choose something that tolerates them.
Treating joints while the arrises are sound keeps the work simple. After the edges go, repairs come into it, with more downtime and more disruption.
From enquiry to sign-off
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. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Smaller jobs around Smarden can be grouped with others nearby. You will have a fixed quote before work 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.
- We fill each joint to depth and finish it flush so wheels roll straight across.
- We tell you when each zone can carry trucks again and move on to the next.
Preparing the site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Let us know about inductions and permits

What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Joint edges that have already broken away, which need repairing before filling (we will tell you if so)
- Worn screed or surface finishes
- Cracks across panels caused by settlement or overload
