Cost factors for floor joints
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, the same details help:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Access details, including height

Floor joint sealing in Street End, done properly
Sometimes the concrete either side of a joint has already spalled. Filling against a crumbled arris won’t hold for long, so we will tell you if the joint edges need repairing first and leave that decision with you. We work on loading bays, joints along racking aisles and forklift and pallet-truck routes, and what we are called in for most is a rough ride across broken joints and a gap opening alongside old joint filler. Most enquiries from Street End start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
In and around smaller places like Street End, 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.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Keeping the joints sound
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Walk the main routes and inspect joint lines on a regular cycle
- Tell us about strong cleaning chemicals before we quote
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
- Hold traffic back until the product has cured
Keep traffic off fresh joints until the time we give you and it pays to stick to it. In a busy building, barriers keep early traffic away.
Treating joints while the arrises are sound keeps the work simple. After the edges go, repairs come into it and that takes longer and closes areas for longer.
What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Worn screed or surface finishes
- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling
- Spalled arrises, which need an edge repair first
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

FAQs: Street End
Is Wincheap Industrial Estate, near Street End, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Street End and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Wincheap Industrial Estate included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like The Chaucer Hospital, something you do?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
When can forklifts run over new joint filler?
Cure times vary with the product and how cold the slab is. We’ll give you a time for each zone before we start.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Will we need to close the floor?
Typically only the zone we’re working in has to close. Each zone reopens when the product can take traffic, then we move to the next.
Is it normal for joint filler to separate?
It can be shrinkage, contamination on the joint faces or a product unsuited to the movement. We diagnose the cause before suggesting a fix.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.

What else we do in Street End
Surface by surface
Loading bays and dock areas
Bays can be treated one or two at a time so goods in and out carry on. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Flexible floor sealants
Flexible floor sealants come in several colours so ask if the colour matters.
Doing it in-house
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Our process
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. For a building around Street End, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.
- Any joints with broken edges are flagged before work starts.
- We clear each run back to clean concrete.
- The chosen filler or sealant goes in flush with the slab.
- You get a time for each zone to reopen.
Getting the site ready
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
