On site: what to expect
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. For a site in St Margaret's at Cliffe, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- First comes a walk of the floor to record joint sizes, broken edges and traffic routes.
- A fixed quote follows, listing the treatment for each area and the order of work.
- Each joint is cleared of old fill and dirt and taken back to clean, sound edges.
- We vacuum each run and prime it if the chosen product requires a primer.
- The chosen product is placed to its specified depth and trimmed level with the floor.
- We tell you when each zone can carry trucks again and move on to the next.
Before we start on site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

For managing agents and facilities managers
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
Do you need floor joint sealing in St Margaret's at Cliffe?
An ageing filler or sealant can go brittle and split especially under daily scrubbing and traffic. At that point it neither holds the edges nor keeps debris out.
Look out for the following:
- Dock area joints that have failed first
- Open saw cuts full of debris
- Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
- Untidy open joints in a retail unit
In a school such as St Margaret's-at-Cliffe Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
Why deal with it now?
Painting or coating straight over joints rarely lasts. The joints have to be filled or sealed as joints before or alongside any coating work. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.
Why appoint us
- Work to your specification and the manufacturer’s guidance
- CHAS accredited
- A fixed quote before work starts
- 12-month guarantee on workmanship

Common questions from St Margaret's at Cliffe clients
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Royal Victoria Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can being near the sea in St Margaret's at Cliffe affect the sealant we need?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Do you use semi-rigid filler or flexible sealant on floor joints?
There isn’t one answer for a whole floor. Where hard wheels cross, a semi-rigid filler is normally right and perimeter or movement joints need flexibility. The quote sets out what goes where.

Cost factors for floor joints
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- How much existing material needs removing
- The total length or number of joints
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
