Floor joint sealing in Tickham, done properly
Most industrial slabs are divided into panels by saw-cut joints and construction joints, and each joint line is a weak edge that wheels run over all day. We fill or seal them with a product matched to the traffic and the movement so the edges are held up and debris can’t pack in. The enquiries we see most involve old filler gone hard, cracked or loose and drivers complaining about joints on a route, on forklift and pallet-truck routes, construction joints and retail and showroom floors. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Tickham is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Tickham have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Joint edges that have already broken away, which need repairing before filling (we will tell you if so)
- Unstable slabs moving under traffic
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job

What else we do in Tickham
Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets along the floor. Steel tines will mark a good joint over time if it keeps happening.
Regular inspection catches failing fills before the edges go. A phased plan, worst routes first, spreads the work out so nothing is left to fail.
Surface by surface
Loading bays and dock areas
Joints at dock doors need a product that copes with the traffic and the conditions. Curing times also have to fit around deliveries.
Isolation joints at walls and columns
Perimeter and column joints get forgotten and fill up with dirt. We record them with the rest of the floor joints.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Jobs in and around smaller places like Tickham are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- A floor survey records every joint, its edges and what crosses it.
- You receive a fixed quote showing products and phasing.
- Old fill and packed debris come out until both faces are sound.
- Dust is vacuumed out and primer applied where specified.
- The joint is filled to its specified depth and trimmed level.
- Zones reopen once cured and the work moves on.
Preparing the site
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
Quotes

When to call us in Tickham
Left open, joints fill with grit, wrap and wood fragments. That debris is hard and levers at the edges as wheels pass so the arrises break sooner.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing something like this:
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
- Drivers complaining about joints on a route
- Loading bay joints breaking down
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
In a school such as Lynsted and Norton Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.

Should maintenance staff do it?

Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
