About our floor joint sealing in Tye Green
Forklifts and pallet trucks are hard on open joints. Each crossing knocks the unsupported edge, and over time a neat cut turns into a ragged channel. Filling the joint properly gives the edges back their support. It also smooths the route for drivers and stock. If you’re dealing with saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit and soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints, we can help, on forklift and pallet-truck routes, joints along racking aisles and saw-cut induced joints alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Tye Green, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Jobs around smaller places like Tye Green are planned so the whole job is done in one visit, with the right materials on hand. Tell us the joint widths if you can, and what drives or walks over them.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Our process
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. For work around Tye Green, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- We agree the traffic routes and phasing with your site team.
- We point out joints whose edges need repairing first.
- Failed material and debris are removed and the joint cleaned.
- The chosen filler or sealant goes in flush with the slab.
- You get a time for each zone to reopen.
Before we start on site

Related advice
Common problems we fix in Tye Green
Small, hard wheels put a lot of load through a very small area. Where a joint is open, the wheel dips and strikes the far edge and those knocks chip the edge apart bit by bit.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Flexible sealant torn out by wheels
- Old filler gone hard, cracked or loose
- A rough ride across broken joints
- Dock area joints that have failed first
Across sites such as Springwood Industrial Estate, which lies north-west of Tye Green, floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working.
What your quote should include
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Their public liability cover
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
What we can’t put right
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job
- Slab panels that rock or move under load
- Level or flatness problems across the floor
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Loading bays
- Joints along racking aisles
- Construction joints
- Retail and showroom floors
- Saw-cut induced joints
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, 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.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Questions we’re asked in Tye Green
Can you work on a hospital site such as Braintree Community Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Does your area include sites such as Lanham Business Park, near Tye Green?
Yes, sites like Lanham Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Tye Green. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
What information helps you price floor joint sealing?
A rough joint length, a few photographs and a site plan let us give a quick quote. For larger floors, a site visit is often best so ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to set one up.
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.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
Why has the filler pulled away from one side?
It can be shrinkage, contamination on the joint faces or a product unsuited to the movement. We diagnose the cause before suggesting a fix.
Is Tye Green in your area?
Yes. Tye Green falls within our area, and you can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form to get started.
Maintenance after handover
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
- Walk the main routes and inspect joint lines on a regular cycle
- Keep grit out of unfilled joints in the meantime
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
Keep traffic off fresh joints until the time we give you, and it’s worth enforcing. In a busy building, barriers keep early traffic away.
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.
Where floor joints take the most wear near Tye Green
Less than 3 miles from Tye Green there are two named estates and business parks. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.
Hospital campuses such as Braintree Community Hospital (to the north-west of Tye Green) grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old. On a site such as Lanham Business Park (1 mile north-east of Tye Green), the movement joints are in car park slabs, paving and building elevations.

Different surfaces, different methods
Flexible floor sealants
Polyurethane sealants suit floor joints with larger movement. They give less edge support than semi-rigid fillers, so they suit lighter traffic or movement joints.
Loading bays and dock areas
Loading bays combine the heaviest turning loads with wet tyres and cold air from open doors. Joints here usually fail first so many programmes begin here.
