Floor joint sealing in Stubbles: the local picture
Central London is about 46 miles from Stubbles. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.
Around Stubbles, open joints collect water and debris, and the arrises are the next to go; we’ll tell you if the edges need repairing first.

Common problems we fix in Stubbles
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.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Dock area joints that have failed first
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
- Trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints
- Joint fill separating from the concrete
In and around Stubbles, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
Dragged forks and pallets gouge joints and edges alike. Steel tines will mark a good joint over time if it keeps happening.
Grit in an open joint does damage every time a wheel crosses it. Getting it filled stops the damage while it is still a straightforward job.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Smaller jobs around Stubbles can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We look at joint widths, edge condition and the traffic on each route.
- The quote fixes the price, names the filler or sealant and shows how the floor will be zoned.
- Each joint is cleared of old fill and dirt and taken back to clean, sound edges.
- Dust is sucked out of the joint and a primer used if the product data sheet asks for one.
- Filler or sealant goes in to the right depth and is finished flush with the slab.
- We tell you when each zone can carry trucks again and move on to the next.
Preparing the site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in

Building owners, agents and FMs in Stubbles
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
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.
FAQs: Stubbles

We will confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Is Stubbles too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
