General trades versus a specialist
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.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.

Advice
Thurnham: questions and answers
Can you work on a hospital site such as KIMS Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is Thurnham off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you phase floor joint work around operations?
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.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Can you fill joints where the arrises have spalled?
Filling against broken edges doesn’t last. If the arrises have spalled, we’ll say they need repair before filling, so you can decide how to proceed.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Thurnham?
Oil, laitance, dust and old cleaning chemicals build up inside joints. Without cutting back to sound, clean concrete the new filler can’t stay bonded.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor
- Dock area joints that have failed first
- Joint fill separating from the concrete
- Joint edges breaking up under truck wheels
Hospitals like KIMS Hospital (to the west of Thurnham) have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock.
What your quote should include
- How they’ll work around occupants
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
Traffic, movement and joints around Thurnham
Thurnham is about 33 miles from central London. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors. Thurnham sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.
For an occupier at a site such as Viewpoint Industrial Estate, which lies west of Thurnham, the joints at loading doors and dock levellers typically see the hardest wear. At a retail site such as The Mall Maidstone, 2.9 miles south-west of Thurnham, trolleys, cages and cars run over floor and slab joints all day.
Thurnham is about 3 miles north-east of Maidstone, in Kent. Thurnham sits inside our coverage and the rest of Kent, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else.

What affects the price in Thurnham
Before we quote, we look at:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The product specified
- The site’s rules and procedures
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Details that help us quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- The product your specification calls for
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The type of building and who uses it
- Any dates the work must fit around
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Looking after the joints
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
Once cured, the joints get cleaned along with the slab. If you use strong chemicals or hot-water washing, mention it when we quote so the product suits them.
Joints are easiest to look after when someone checks them regularly. We can quote a programme that starts with the busiest areas and keeps on top of the rest.
