About our floor joint sealing in Strood

Few warehouses can shut a whole floor while joints are done, so we phase the work aisle by aisle or bay by bay. Share your site hours and access windows and the programme is built around them, with goods still moving in the areas we aren’t in. Most enquiries involve soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints and dock area joints that have failed first, on forklift and pallet-truck routes, joints along racking aisles and retail and showroom floors. Whoever orders the work in Strood, the brief is typically the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.

Movement joints on schools, offices and shops in towns like Strood are easy to overlook until water gets in. Once the sealant hardens or splits, water gets into the wall and the joint no longer works.

Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Questions about Strood

Will our site in Strood have to close for joint sealing?

Usually not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. The phasing plan comes with the quote.

Is Gun Lane Business Centre, near Strood, within your area?

Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Strood, Gun Lane Business Centre among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.

Is the floor joint work guaranteed?

There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and the work is covered by public liability insurance.

What information helps you price floor joint sealing?

A rough joint length, a few photos and a site plan let us give a quick quote. For larger floors, a site visit is often best, and you can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to arrange it.

How many days will you need on site?

That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually takes anything from a day for one loading bay to several days for a large floor, split into phases. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.

Do you have public liability insurance?

Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.

Do you offer coloured sealant?

In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.

Surface by surface

Semi-rigid joint fillers

On industrial routes, a semi-rigid filler is often the right choice. They are installed to the depth the manufacturer specifies and finished flush.

Flexible floor sealants

Movement joints, joints at walls and joints in lightly trafficked areas often take a flexible sealant. Backing rod limits how deep the bead goes and keeps it off the joint bottom.

On site: what to expect

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 typically takes between a day and a number of days, set by the joint lengths, the edge condition and the phasing you need. In a town such as Strood, most jobs are single buildings. Your photos, drawings or a site visit come first, followed by a fixed quote.

  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. Each joint is cut or routed back to clean, sound concrete.
  4. Dust is vacuumed out and primer applied where specified.
  5. The joint is filled to its specified depth and trimmed level.
  6. We hand each phase back when it can take traffic.

Before we start on site

  • Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
  • Confirm the product named in the specification
  • Point out any areas we must not close

What sets the cost

These are the things that shape the price:

  • Site requirements such as inductions and permits
  • The product specified
  • Access and working height
  • Whether the work must be split into stages

Pricing floor joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Before you send an enquiry

The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:

  • The product your specification calls for
  • Access details, including height
  • What the building is and how it’s used
  • Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule

A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form to discuss it first.

Common problems we fix in Strood

Oil, laitance, dust and old cleaning chemicals build up inside joints. Without cutting back to sound, clean concrete, the new material simply lifts out.

Common reasons buildings call us in:

  • Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
  • Loading bay joints breaking down
  • Grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor
  • Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints

Schools like Elaine Primary School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.
