On site: what to expect
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Jobs in and around smaller places like Surrex are normally planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.
- We point out joints whose edges need repairing first.
- Failed material and debris are removed and the joint cleaned.
- We fill the joints with the agreed product, finished level.
- You get a time for each zone to reopen.
Getting the site ready
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Let us know about inductions and permits
Quotes
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.

About our floor joint sealing in Surrex
We have been sealing commercial joints since 2005. Applicators carry CSCS cards and work to your site rules, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance in place. Finished floor joints in Surrex carry our 12-month guarantee. The enquiries we see most involve unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit and a rough ride across broken joints, across forklift and pallet-truck routes, loading bays and saw-cut induced joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Surrex, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around smaller places such as Surrex, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will arrange a return visit.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Surrex
Older fills harden, shrink and crack with age especially under daily scrubbing and traffic. Once it has gone hard or come loose, it protects nothing.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
- Chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes
- Scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor
For buildings at a park such as Threshelfords Business Park, which lies south of Surrex, brick and panel movement joints are easy to forget until one leaks.
Questions to ask before you book
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?

How the job changes by surface
Isolation joints at walls and columns
We plan column and wall joints around racking and fixed plant so nothing has to move unexpectedly.
Retail and showroom floors
Shop and showroom floors often have exposed slab joints, especially with polished or coated concrete. A flush, neat fill in a suitable colour keeps the floor looking right and confirm which colours the product comes in.
Questions we’re asked in Surrex
Does your area include sites such as Threshelfords Business Park, near Surrex?
Yes. We cover Surrex and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Threshelfords Business Park. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Will our site in Surrex have to close for joint sealing?
Typically not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Will we need to close the floor?
The work is phased. Areas are taken out of use a section at a time. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Do you repair broken joint edges?
Filling against broken edges doesn’t last. We will tell you if the joint edges need repairing first and set out how that affects the job.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Keeping the joints sound
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
- Keep grit out of unfilled joints in the meantime
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
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.
Edges tend to break slowly at first, then quickly. Once the first piece is out, wheels drop further and hit harder, so it pays to act at the first signs.

What else we do in Surrex
Should maintenance staff do it?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
