About our floor joint sealing in Thanington
Sometimes the concrete either side of a joint has already spalled. A filler laid against broken edges has nothing sound to grip, so if the edges need repair before any filling, we will say so and leave that decision with you. Site teams most often ask us about grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor and loading bay joints breaking down, across saw-cut induced joints, loading bays and forklift and pallet-truck routes. For commercial sealant work in Thanington, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
In a smaller place such as Thanington, floor and movement joints are often in agricultural and rural business units, schools and the odd small industrial yard. Their slabs and walls still need movement joints that work.
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.

Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Thanington
Thanington is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints. The 3 miles around Thanington take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic.
Hospitals like Kent and Canterbury Hospital (1.4 miles east of Thanington) have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock. University campuses such as University of the Creative Arts, 1.4 miles to the east of Thanington, have car parks, paved walkways and building elevations with movement joints. For a centre such as Whitefriars Shopping Centre, which lies north-east of Thanington, the service yard and car park joints typically need attention first.

Surface by surface
Retail and showroom floors
Polished and coated concrete floors in shops and showrooms show every joint. We aim for a tidy, flush finish that suits the floor and confirm which colours the product comes in.
Saw-cut induced joints
Most of the joints in a warehouse floor are saw cuts. Each one is cleaned out and filled to the specified depth with a flush finish.
What sets the cost
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Any access equipment needed
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Joint width, depth and condition
Pricing floor joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Call for a quote.

Leave it or put it right?
Every jolt over a broken joint passes into the truck, the load and the driver. Wheels and bearings wear faster and loads can shift, which nobody budgets for. A filled joint takes most of that out. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.
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.

Common questions from Thanington clients
Can you work on a hospital site such as Kent and Canterbury Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is Thanington too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Thanington are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit normally takes anything from a day for one loading bay to several days for a large floor, split into phases. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Is colour matching possible?
It depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Can you phase floor joint work around operations?
We phase it. Areas are taken out of use a section at a time around the site hours and access windows you give us.
