On site: what to expect
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Rural sites near Sunningwell may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- A floor survey records every joint, its edges and what crosses it.
- You receive a fixed quote showing products and phasing.
- Old fill and packed debris come out until both faces are sound.
- Dust is vacuumed out and primer applied where specified.
- Filler or sealant is placed to depth and finished flush.
- Zones reopen once cured and the work moves on.
Getting the site ready
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Sunningwell: questions and answers
Is Wootton Business Park, near Sunningwell, within your area?
Yes, sites like Wootton Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Sunningwell. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is a smaller place like Sunningwell outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you guarantee industrial floor joints?
A 12-month guarantee covers the work we do. It covers our workmanship, not later slab movement or damage from impacts.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Can you send site paperwork?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Doing it in-house
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.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
When something else is needed
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Broken concrete either side of the joint
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job
- Level or flatness problems across the floor
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

When to call us in Sunningwell
Small, hard wheels put a lot of load through a very small area. Crossing an open joint, the wheel drops and knocks the opposite arris, and repeated impacts break the concrete away.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
- Grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor
- Dock area joints that have failed first
For a centre such as Fairacres Retail Park, 2.3 miles to the south of Sunningwell, the service yard and car park joints usually need attention first.
Questions to ask before you book
- How joint depth will be controlled
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
Looking after the joints
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
- Make joint checks part of your floor inspections
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
Once cured, the joints get cleaned along with the slab. If you use strong chemicals or hot-water washing, mention it when we quote so we choose something that tolerates them.
Every day an open joint stays full of grit, the edges take more punishment. Getting it filled stops the damage before it becomes a repair.
Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Sunningwell
Rainfall across the South East, Sunningwell included, is lower than in many parts of the UK.

The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift.
