About our floor joint sealing in Stratton Audley
Some joints reach us with their edges already broken. A filler laid against broken edges has nothing sound to grip, so if the edges need repair before any filling, we will say so and explain how it affects the programme. Site teams most often ask us about trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints and filler that has parted from one face, on construction joints, loading bays and saw-cut induced joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Stratton Audley is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In and around smaller places like Stratton Audley, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Questions about Stratton Audley
Is Stratton Audley too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Bicester Community Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.

Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Expect fillers on young slabs to need a top-up
- Start with the dock areas, where joints fail soonest
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
Keep traffic off fresh joints until the time we give you, and it’s worth enforcing. In a busy building, barriers keep early traffic away.
Regular inspection catches failing fills before the edges go. A phased plan, worst routes first, spreads the work out and keeps on top of the rest.

On site: what to expect
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself normally takes a day for smaller units, with bigger warehouse floors programmed over several visits, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Jobs in and around smaller places like Stratton Audley are usually planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.
- Any joints with broken edges are flagged before work starts.
- Failed material and debris are removed and the joint cleaned.
- The chosen filler or sealant goes in flush with the slab.
- You get a time for each zone to reopen.
Before we start on site
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Advice
Common problems we fix in Stratton Audley
A soft, flexible sealant on a forklift route can’t hold the arrises up and the edges fail regardless. The opposite mistake happens as well: a rigid fill in a joint that is still opening cracks or debonds.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Old filler gone hard, cracked or loose
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
- Chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes
- Unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit
Sites like Bicester Community Hospital, 3 miles to the south-west of Stratton Audley, carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints.

Honest limits
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Wide or random cracking that suggests a structural issue
- Slab panels that rock or move under load
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job

Why deal with it now?
Holding off until the whole floor can close can take a long time. Zone by zone, the worst aisles can be dealt with now while the rest of the floor carries on. Older rural buildings around Stratton Audley move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Pricing floor joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Call for a quote.

Should maintenance staff do it?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
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.
