Floor joint sealing in The Frenches
Most industrial slabs are divided into panels by saw-cut joints and construction joints, and every one of those joints is an exposed edge under hard wheels. Our job is to put the right filler or sealant into them for the loads and the movement they see so the edges are held up and debris can’t pack in. We work on saw-cut induced joints, joints along racking aisles and retail and showroom floors, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are failing joints at loading bays and dock doors and a rough ride across broken joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in The Frenches it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
For a site near The Frenches, measurements and photographs up front mean one trip where possible, with the right materials on hand. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we’ll take it from there.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Questions about The Frenches
Is The Frenches too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Romsey Community Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
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.
Is the floor joint work guaranteed?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we hold public liability insurance.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.

Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Remind operators to lift rather than drag
- Keep photographs of joints that look like they’re failing
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
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.
While the concrete edges are intact, it’s a filling job. Once they have broken away, edge repair comes first, with more downtime and more disruption.
What we can’t put right
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling
- Wide or random cracking that suggests a structural issue
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Retail and showroom floors
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Loading bays
- Joints along racking aisles
- Construction joints
How the quote is worked out
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- The total length or number of joints
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Joint width, depth and condition
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What we need to price the job
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- When you need the work done
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Pricing a project or setting a maintenance budget? We’ll quote against your scope and drawings you can plan around. For a chat about it beforehand, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
From enquiry to sign-off
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself normally takes anything from a day for one loading bay to several days for a large floor, split into phases, and we clear our waste as we work. Smaller jobs around The Frenches can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We agree the traffic routes and phasing with your site team.
- Any joints with broken edges are flagged before work starts.

When to call us in The Frenches
Older fills harden, shrink and crack with age, particularly where cleaning machines and traffic work it daily. Once it has gone hard or come loose, it protects nothing.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
- Untidy open joints in a retail unit
- Chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes
At places like Budds Lane Industrial Estate, which lies east of The Frenches, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.
