Questions about Swallowfield
Is a smaller place like Swallowfield 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. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Would you work within a site like Royal Berkshire Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
What do you need from us to quote?
Approximate metres of joint, photos of typical and worst areas, and a floor plan are normally enough for a quick quote. We can visit where that helps, and you can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us to arrange it.
Can you fill joints where the arrises have spalled?
Edge condition is recorded when we look at the floor. Where they have broken away, we’ll tell you before quoting the filling so the filling isn’t wasted.
Do you use semi-rigid filler or flexible sealant on floor joints?
There isn’t one answer for a whole floor. Hard wheels need edge support, which points to a semi-rigid filler and perimeter or movement joints need flexibility. You’ll see the choice for each area in the quote.
Can you send site paperwork?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Swallowfield
Across Swallowfield and the rest of Wokingham, it runs the same way: you send details, we send a fixed quote, the joints are done and the 12-month guarantee follows. Approximate joint lengths, a few photographs and a floor plan are enough for a quick quote and a visit can be arranged where that is easier. We work on saw-cut induced joints, retail and showroom floors and forklift and pallet-truck routes, and the failures we are asked to look at most are brittle joint filler breaking up and filler that has parted from one face. For commercial sealant work in Swallowfield, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
In and around smaller places like Swallowfield, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
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.

Warehouse floors and decks around Swallowfield
Swallowfield is about 38 miles from central London. The roads out of London are lined with trade parks and distribution sheds. Swallowfield has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic.
For a school such as Lambs Lane Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays. A healthcare site such as Royal Berkshire Hospital, 5 miles north of Swallowfield, depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day. A campus such as University of Reading - Whiteknights Campus (4.3 miles north of Swallowfield) has long runs of movement joint in its buildings, decks and paving.
Swallowfield is about 5 miles south of Reading, in Wokingham. Anywhere in RG7, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Swallowfield is one of 42 places in Wokingham on our list.

When something else is needed
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job
- A floor that is out of level for the racking or trucks
- Joint edges that have already broken away, which need repairing before filling (we will tell you if so)
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Retail and showroom floors
- Loading bays
- Construction joints
- Joints along racking aisles
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
After the work
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
- Tell us about strong cleaning chemicals before we quote
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
Young concrete carries on shrinking, so some fillers part slightly from one face. It is a known trait of new floors and a later top-up deals with it.
While the concrete edges are intact, it’s a filling job. After the edges go, repairs come into it, with more downtime and more disruption.
On site: what to expect
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. For work around Swallowfield, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- Each area is assessed for joint width, arris damage and the wheels that cross it.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and the phasing set out.
- Each joint is cleared of old fill and dirt and taken back to clean, sound edges.
- 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.
- We tell you when each zone can carry trucks again and move on to the next.
Preparing the site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Advice
What sets the cost
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- How accessible the joints are
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The postcode of the building
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us.
