Leave it or put it right?
Tape, or whatever sealant is in the stores cupboard, may look like a fix for a while. None of it is designed for wheel loads and traffic soon pulls it out. The right filler or sealant saves doing it twice. Around Swinford, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

Floor joint sealing in Swinford
Open joints take a beating from forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Every pass chips at the bare concrete edge until a crisp saw cut becomes a wide, broken groove. Filling the joint properly gives the edges back their support, which is kinder to trucks, loads and operators. We work on forklift and pallet-truck routes, joints along racking aisles and construction joints, and what we’re called in for most is a gap opening alongside old joint filler and failing joints at loading bays and dock doors. Most enquiries from Swinford start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
In and around smaller places like Swinford, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Your questions answered
Is Swinford too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Does your area include sites such as Oakfields Industrial Estate, near Swinford?
Yes. We cover Swinford and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Oakfields Industrial Estate. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
On site: what to expect
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern.

After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Keep grit out of unfilled joints in the meantime
- Walk the main routes and inspect joint lines on a regular cycle
- Tell us about strong cleaning chemicals before we quote
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
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 in the majority of cases.
Regular inspection catches failing fills before the edges go. We can quote a programme that starts with the busiest areas so nothing is left to fail.

How the job changes by surface
Semi-rigid joint fillers
A semi-rigid filler is stiff enough to hold the arrises up when wheels cross. They tolerate little movement so timing matters on newer slabs.
Flexible floor sealants
Movement joints, joints at walls and joints in lightly trafficked areas often take a flexible sealant. Closed-cell backing rod goes in first, keeping the bead shallow and gripping only the two faces.
When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Joint edges that have already broken away, which need repairing before filling (we’ll tell you if so)
- A floor that is out of level for the racking or trucks
- Unstable slabs moving under traffic
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
