Floor joint sealing for commercial buildings in Sonning
Most industrial slabs are divided into panels with saw cuts and day joints, and every one of those joints is an exposed edge under hard wheels. Our job is to put the right filler or sealant into them for the loads and the movement they see, so the arrises are supported and grit stays out. If you have unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit and scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor, we can put it right. Searching for sealant specialists in Sonning? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Around smaller places such as Sonning, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. 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. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

What sealant work can’t fix
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Joint edges that have already broken away, which need repairing before filling (we will tell you if so)
- Wide or random cracking that suggests a structural issue
- A floor that rocks at the joints, which needs a structural fix
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Common questions from Sonning clients
Does your area include sites such as Loddon Vale Shopping Centre, near Sonning?
Yes, sites like Loddon Vale Shopping Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Sonning. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Would you work within a site like Royal Berkshire Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
How long before trucks can use the joints?
Each product has its own cure time and cooler floors take longer. Phasing is planned with that in mind.
Can you send site paperwork?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Why is there a gap next to the joint filler?
Young concrete carries on shrinking for a long time and a stiff filler can separate down one side. It is typically dealt with by topping up.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Do you work in Sonning?
Yes. We cover Sonning and the rest of Wokingham. To discuss a job, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.

Maintenance after handover
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Remind operators to lift rather than drag
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
Young concrete carries on shrinking, so some fillers part slightly from one face. It is a known trait of new floors and a later top-up deals with it in the majority of cases.
Grit in an open joint does damage every time a wheel crosses it. Filling it ends that cycle while it is still a straightforward job.

Advice
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
Surface by surface
Saw-cut induced joints
Saw cuts are made soon after the slab is cast so shrinkage cracks follow a line. They start narrow and widen as the concrete dries so trafficked runs need a filler that holds the arrises.
Construction joints
Some construction joints have steel edge protection, others are plain concrete. We’ll tell you if the edges or any armouring look like they need attention before filling.
When to call us in Sonning
Small, hard wheels put a lot of load through a very small area. Crossing an open joint, the wheel drops and knocks the opposite arris, and repeated impacts break the concrete away.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- A rough ride across broken joints
- Old filler gone hard, cracked or loose
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
- Unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit
Schools such as Sonning Church of England Primary School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.
