Floor joint sealing for commercial buildings in The Moor
Across The Moor and the rest of Kent, 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 photos and a floor plan are enough for a quick quote and a visit can be arranged where that is easier. We work on loading bays, construction joints and retail and showroom floors, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are joint fill separating from the concrete and drivers complaining about joints on a route. A single leaking joint is often how a building in The Moor first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like The Moor have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Common questions from The Moor clients
Is The Moor too far out for you?
Not at all. The Moor is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of 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.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Hawkhurst Community Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Why is there a gap next to the joint filler?
On newer slabs, the concrete keeps shrinking after the joints are filled, so a semi-rigid filler can part from one face. A top-up normally puts it right.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Should floor joints be filled or sealed?
It depends on the traffic and the movement. Forklift routes generally call for a semi-rigid filler that holds the arrises, while joints that move more take a flexible sealant.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Honest limits
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We’ll tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling
- Structural cracking in the slab
- Worn screed or surface finishes
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

Quoting for work in The Moor
Before we quote, we look at:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Whether the work must be split into stages
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
For a fixed quote, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the site address and an outline of the work. You can also send details through our quote form.
On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Rural sites near The Moor may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.
- Any joints with broken edges are flagged before work starts.
- Failed material and debris are removed and the joint cleaned.
- We fill the joints with the agreed product, finished level.
- You get a time for each zone to reopen.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
Request a quote
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

Doing it in-house
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.

Why deal with it now?
Every jolt over a broken joint passes into the truck, the load and the driver. Wheels and bearings wear faster and loads can shift, adding costs nobody plans for. A filled joint takes most of that out. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like The Moor, rather than one at a time. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
A quote for floor joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you are working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Why appoint us
- Work carried out by CSCS-carded applicators
- One contact handling all your sites
- Specification-led, product-correct work
- 12-month guarantee on workmanship

Surface by surface
Flexible floor sealants
A flexible sealant suits perimeter and movement joints away from the heaviest traffic. Closed-cell backing rod goes in first, keeping the bead shallow and gripping only the two faces.
Semi-rigid joint fillers
A semi-rigid filler is stiff enough to hold the arrises up when wheels cross. They allow only small movement, so they suit joints where most shrinkage has already happened.
