Floor joint sealing in Spencers Wood
Sometimes the concrete either side of a joint has already spalled. A filler laid against broken edges has nothing sound to grip, so we’ll tell you if the joint edges need repairing first and leave that decision with you. If you are dealing with joint edges breaking up under truck wheels and untidy open joints in a retail unit, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Whoever orders the work in Spencers Wood, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Rural business units around smaller places such as Spencers Wood often have new slabs laid inside older buildings. Joints in those slabs need a product suited to whatever runs over them, from pallet trucks to foot traffic.
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’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Questions about Spencers Wood
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Royal Berkshire Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Does your area include sites such as Heron Industrial Estate, near Spencers Wood?
Yes. We cover Spencers Wood and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Heron Industrial Estate. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
How soon can traffic go back on the floor?
Cure times vary with the product and how cold the slab is. You’ll get a reopening time for each area before we start.
What guarantee do you give on joint filling?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and the work is covered by public liability insurance.
Can the warehouse stay open while you work?
Typically only the zone we’re working in has to close. Traffic returns to each zone once it has cured, then we move to the next.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
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.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.

What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Broken concrete either side of the joint
- Worn screed or surface finishes
- Structural cracking in the slab
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Construction joints
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Retail and showroom floors
- Loading bays
- Joints along racking aisles
When to call us in Spencers Wood
Oil, laitance, dust and old cleaning chemicals build up inside joints. If the faces aren’t taken back to clean concrete first, the new material simply lifts out.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
- Dock area joints that have failed first
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
- Grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor
Another example is Lambs Farm Business Park, which lies south of Spencers Wood, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers.
Before you book anyone
- How joint depth will be controlled
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
Leave it or put it right?
Not every joint needs stripping out completely. Where existing filler is well bonded and the gap beside it is small, a full strip-out isn’t always needed, and we’ll say which joints need what. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.

Different surfaces, different methods
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Main aisles and cross routes carry the most wheel movements and the joints on them break down first. A semi-rigid filler is common here because it supports the arrises under hard wheels.
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.
