Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Joint edges that have already broken away, which need repairing before filling (we will tell you if so)
- A floor that rocks at the joints, which needs a structural fix
- Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think before you book.

How we handle floor joint sealing in Stubb's Cross
Open joints take a beating from forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Every pass chips at the bare concrete edge until a crisp saw cut becomes a wide, broken groove. Filling the joint properly gives the edges back their support, which is kinder to trucks, loads and operators. Site teams most often ask us about open saw cuts full of debris and filler that has parted from one face, across saw-cut induced joints, joints along racking aisles and construction joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Stubb's Cross first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Stubb's Cross have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.

What affects the price in Stubb's Cross
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The size and state of each joint
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How much existing material needs removing
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Details that help us quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- When you need the work done
- Any specification or named product
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Stubb's Cross: questions and answers
Is hospital work, at somewhere like William Harvey Hospital, something you do?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is Stubb's Cross off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
What guarantee do you give on joint filling?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee, and we hold public liability insurance.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Should floor joints be filled or sealed?
There isn’t one answer for a whole floor. Hard wheels need edge support, which points to a semi-rigid filler, and movement joints or perimeters need something flexible. The quote sets out what goes where.
Floors, slabs and movement joints in Stubb's Cross
Stubb's Cross sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.

For an occupier at a site such as Ellingham Industrial Estate (1.4 miles north-east of Stubb's Cross), the joints at loading doors and dock levellers usually see the hardest wear.

Our process
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Rural sites near Stubb's Cross may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- First comes a walk of the floor to record joint sizes, broken edges and traffic routes.
- The quote fixes the price, names the filler or sealant and shows how the floor will be zoned.
- We remove failed material and packed debris until sound concrete is exposed on both faces.
- We vacuum each run and prime it if the chosen product requires a primer.
- The chosen product is placed to its specified depth and trimmed level with the floor.
- The area is handed back once it has cured enough to take traffic.
What we need from you
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Work for main contractors and building owners
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Stubb's Cross can form part of a wider programme.
After the work
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
- Clear packed debris from open joints regularly
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
If a joint we filled starts to break up within 12 months, tell us and we’ll arrange a look. Beyond that, an inspection once or twice a year catches failing joints early.
A broken joint on a main route is crossed by every truck on that route. Early treatment protects wheels, loads and drivers as much as the floor.
Surface by surface
Retail and showroom floors
Retail joints see trolleys, footfall and scrubber-driers. The product is chosen for that traffic and the finish matters as much as the performance.
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Open route joints are hard on equipment and drivers. Filling them gives a smoother run and saves the edges.
