Looking after the joints
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
- Make joint checks part of your floor inspections
A routine walk of the busiest aisles shows how the joints are holding up. Look for separation down one side, new chips in the arris and debris gathering, and photograph anything that changes.
Joints are easiest to look after when someone checks them regularly. A phased plan, worst routes first, spreads the work out and keeps on top of the rest.
About our floor joint sealing in Styants Bottom
Forklifts and pallet trucks are hard on open joints. Each crossing knocks the unsupported edge, and over time a neat cut turns into a ragged channel. A properly filled joint carries the wheel over and protects both arrises. It also smooths the route for drivers and stock. If you have a gap opening alongside old joint filler and open saw cuts full of debris, we can put it right. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Styants Bottom it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
For a site near Styants Bottom, measurements and photographs up front mean one trip where possible, with the right materials on hand. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we will take it from there.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Not every joint needs stripping out completely. If old material is sound on one face and only a fine gap has opened, it may not all have to come out, and we will say which joints need what. For buildings around smaller places like Styants Bottom, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
A quote for floor joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Your questions answered
Can you work on a hospital site such as Cygnet Hospital Godden Green?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Does your area include sites such as Chaucer Business Park, near Styants Bottom?
Yes, sites like Chaucer Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Styants Bottom. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Which is better for warehouse joints, filler or sealant?
It depends on the traffic and the movement. Trafficked joints on truck routes usually need a semi-rigid filler to support the edges and joints with more movement take a flexible sealant.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
That depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Is Styants Bottom in your area?
Yes. Sites across Styants Bottom are covered.
What guarantee do you give on joint filling?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and the work is covered by public liability insurance.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
What affects the price in Styants Bottom
Before we quote, we look at:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Any access equipment needed
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What to include in your enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The site address and postcode
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Surface by surface
Flexible floor sealants
A flexible sealant suits perimeter and movement joints away from the heaviest traffic. Backing rod limits how deep the bead goes and keeps it off the joint bottom.
Semi-rigid joint fillers
A semi-rigid filler is stiff enough to hold the arrises up when wheels cross. They allow only small movement, so they suit joints where most shrinkage has already happened.

What we are called out for in Styants Bottom
Concrete slabs shrink as they dry out, and saw-cut joints give that shrinkage a planned place to crack. Each panel pulls back as it shrinks and the joints open up, and a filler placed early can part company with one face.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor
- A rough ride across broken joints
- Old filler gone hard, cracked or loose
- Flexible sealant torn out by wheels
In a school such as Ightham Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
