Your questions answered
Is Tendring too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you work at a site such as Oak Business Park, by Tendring?
Yes, sites like Oak Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Tendring. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
How long do sealant joints 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.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
What happens if the joint edges are damaged?
A filler needs sound edges to grip. We’ll tell you if the joint edges need repairing first and set out how that affects the job.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Will we need to close the floor?
We phase it. We work aisle by aisle or zone by zone so the rest of the floor stays in use around the site hours and access windows you give us.
Floor joint sealing in Tendring, done properly
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. It also smooths the route for drivers and stock. The enquiries we see most involve joint fill separating from the concrete and joint edges breaking up under truck wheels, across saw-cut induced joints, retail and showroom floors and loading bays.

Common problems we fix in Tendring
Loading bay joints are exposed to wind, wet tyres and bigger temperature swings, as well as the tightest turning loads. That is typically where joint failure starts.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor
- Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
- Open saw cuts full of debris
Office parks like Oak Business Park, 2.2 miles to the east of Tendring, have decks, ramps and clad elevations whose joints take movement every day.

What affects the price in Tendring
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Phasing around occupants
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Joint width, depth and condition
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
Sending details for a quote
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The postcode of the building
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Owners, agents and contractors
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
How a job runs
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off.

What the job involves on each surface
Loading bays and dock areas
At loading bays, product choice has to suit the loads, the temperature and the wet. Curing times also have to fit around deliveries.
Construction joints
Some construction joints have steel edge protection, others are plain concrete. If the edges look unsound, we’ll say so before any filling is done.
Floor joint sealing around Tendring: how the place shapes the job
Tendring lies roughly 58 miles out from central London. The roads out of London are lined with trade parks and distribution sheds, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.
In a school such as Tendring Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. At places like Plough Road Business Centre, 2.5 miles to the south-west of Tendring, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.

What else we do in Tendring
After the work
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Hold traffic back until the product has cured
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
- Let us know what the floor is cleaned with
- Start with the dock areas, where joints fail soonest
Normal floor cleaning is fine once the product has cured. If you use strong chemicals or hot-water washing, mention it when we quote so the product suits them.
Every day an open joint stays full of grit, the edges take more punishment. Filling it ends that cycle while it is still a straightforward job.
