Common questions from Strood clients
Can you work at a site such as Business Park, by Strood?
Yes, sites like Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Strood. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Would you work within a site like West View Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Why is there a gap next to the joint filler?
It can be shrinkage, contamination on the joint faces or a product unsuited to the movement. We look at which it is before recommending anything.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, but the work typically takes between a day and a number of days, set by the joint lengths, the edge condition and the phasing you need. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Floor joint sealing in Strood, done properly
We have been sealing commercial joints since 2005. Our CSCS-carded applicators follow your site induction and rules, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member holding public liability insurance. Completed joints come with a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. We work on construction joints, saw-cut induced joints and forklift and pallet-truck routes, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints and grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor. Most enquiries from Strood start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Strood have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

What else we do in Strood
When to call us in Strood
Soft sealant in a heavily trafficked joint gives the edges little support and the edges fail regardless. The opposite mistake happens as well: a stiff filler in a joint that keeps moving splits or comes away from the sides.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
- Grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor
- Trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
In a school such as Rolvenden Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.

How a job runs
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work usually takes between a day and a number of days, set by the joint lengths, the edge condition and the phasing you need. Rural sites near Strood may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- A floor survey records every joint, its edges and what crosses it.
- The treatment and the zones are set out in a fixed quote.
- Old fill and packed debris come out until both faces are sound.
- Dust is vacuumed out and primer applied where specified.
- The joint is filled to its specified depth and trimmed level.
- We hand each phase back when it can take traffic.
What we need from you
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in

How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- The product specified
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
Details that help us quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:

- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.

Maintenance after handover
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Remind operators to lift rather than drag
- Expect fillers on young slabs to need a top-up
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
- Walk the main routes and inspect joint lines on a regular cycle
Problems inside the 12-month guarantee period are ours to put right. Beyond that, an inspection once or twice a year catches failing joints early.
While the concrete edges are intact, it’s a filling job. After the edges go, repairs come into it, with more downtime and more disruption.
Honest limits
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- A floor that rocks at the joints, which needs a structural fix
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job
- Broken concrete either side of the joint
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Where we work in Strood
- Loading bays

When to bring in a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
