Signs you need floor joint sealing in Starling's Green

Joints near dock doors see colder air, rain blown in and water off vehicles on top of the heaviest turning movements. They are often the first on a site to break down.

Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:

  • Open saw cuts full of debris
  • Grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor
  • Joint fill separating from the concrete
  • Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors

Another example is Oaks Industrial Park, 1.7 miles south-west of Starling's Green, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
  • Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
  • How the existing material will be dealt with
  • How they handle RAMS and site documents

Our contractor checklist

Why act early in Starling's Green

Broken joints shake trucks, stock and operators alike. That means extra wear on wheels and a rougher ride for staff, which nobody budgets for. A filled joint takes most of that out. Halls, stores and units around places like Starling's Green may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.

Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.

When to bring in a specialist

The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.

Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.

Questions we are asked in Starling's Green

Will you take on work at estates like Funstons Commercial Centre, close to Starling's Green?

Yes. We cover Starling's Green and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Funstons Commercial Centre. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.

Do we have to stop operations in Starling's Green while the joints are sealed?

Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. The phasing plan comes with the quote.

How long does a job like this take?

The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.

Do you seal on top of existing sealant?

No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.

Can you fill joints where the arrises have spalled?

A filler needs sound edges to grip. If the arrises have spalled, we will say they need repair before filling, so you can decide how to proceed.

Do you work to architects’ specifications?

Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.

Can the warehouse stay open while you work?

In most cases, just the area being treated is coned off. Each zone reopens when the product can take traffic, then we move to the next.

From enquiry to sign-off

At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. If others near Starling's Green need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.

  1. We walk the floor and mark up joint widths, edge damage and traffic routes.
  2. You receive a fixed quote showing products and phasing.
  3. Old fill and packed debris come out until both faces are sound.
  4. Dust is vacuumed out and primer applied where specified.
  5. Filler or sealant is placed to depth and finished flush.
  6. We hand each phase back when it can take traffic.

Before we start on site

What sealant work can’t fix

A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:

  • Joint edges that have already broken away, which need repairing before filling (we’ll tell you if so)
  • Worn screed or surface finishes
  • Level or flatness problems across the floor

Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we seal

  • Construction joints
  • Saw-cut induced joints
  • Joints along racking aisles
  • Forklift and pallet-truck routes
  • Loading bays
  • Retail and showroom floors

Different surfaces, different methods

Semi-rigid joint fillers

If a joint is still opening, a semi-rigid filler may part from one face. A later top-up usually puts that right, and we’ll explain it when we quote.

Isolation joints at walls and columns

Joints at walls and columns are often missed when floors are sealed, and they collect dust and debris. We include them in the survey.
