Floor joint sealing for Tunstall sites
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What happens if it’s left?
Waiting for a site-wide shutdown often means the joints keep getting worse. Zone by zone, the worst aisles can be dealt with now while the rest of the floor carries on. Around Tunstall, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Floor joint sealing in Tunstall
Across Tunstall and the rest of Kent, it runs the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Approximate joint lengths, a few photographs and a floor plan are enough for a quick quote and a visit can be arranged where that is easier. We work on saw-cut induced joints, loading bays and forklift and pallet-truck routes, and what we’re called in for most is saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit and joint fill separating from the concrete. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Tunstall? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Jobs around smaller places like Tunstall are planned so the whole job is done in one visit, with the right materials on hand. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we’ll take it from there.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

What we’re called out for in Tunstall
Pallet-truck and forklift wheels concentrate weight on a tiny contact patch. Where a joint is open, the wheel dips and strikes the far edge and those knocks chip the edge apart bit by bit.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor
- Chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes
- Dock area joints that have failed first
- Filler that has parted from one face
On a site such as Kent Science Park, which lies south of Tunstall, the movement joints are in car park slabs, paving and building elevations.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
After the work
For the best life from the joints:
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
- Keep photographs of joints that look like they’re failing
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
- Keep grit out of unfilled joints in the meantime
We will give you a time before trucks can run over the new joints and it pays to stick to it. In a busy building, barriers keep early traffic away.
Joint damage starts slowly and then speeds up. Once the first piece is out, wheels drop further and hit harder, so it pays to act at the first signs.
Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Tunstall
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in. Tunstall lies roughly 37 miles out from central London. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift.
Schools like Tunstall Church of England (Aided) Primary School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly. For estates staff at a university like Canterbury Christ Church University (4.3 miles south-west of Tunstall), building and paving joints are part of the planned maintenance list.

What affects the price in Tunstall
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Which sealant the job calls for
- How accessible the joints are
- The total length or number of joints
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
What we need to price the job
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Access details, including height
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The type of building and who uses it

Your questions answered
Is Tunstall off your patch?
No. Places such as Tunstall are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Is a hospital such as Sittingbourne Memorial Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Why has the filler pulled away from one side?
Young concrete carries on shrinking for a long time and a stiff filler can separate down one side. A top-up normally puts it right.
How a job runs
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed before we move to the next. If others near Tunstall need work, visits can be combined. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- A floor survey records every joint, its edges and what crosses it.
- The treatment and the zones are set out in a fixed quote.
- Old fill and packed debris come out until both faces are sound.
- Dust is vacuumed out and primer applied where specified.
- Filler or sealant is placed to depth and finished flush.
- We hand each phase back when it can take traffic.
Getting the site ready
