How we handle floor joint sealing in Ulting
Forklifts and pallet trucks are hard on open joints. Every pass chips at the bare concrete edge until a crisp saw cut becomes a wide, broken groove. A properly filled joint carries the wheel over and protects both arrises, which is kinder to trucks, loads and operators. We work on saw-cut induced joints, retail and showroom floors and forklift and pallet-truck routes, and the failures we are asked to look at most are untidy open joints in a retail unit and joint edges breaking up under truck wheels. Most enquiries from Ulting start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Around smaller places such as Ulting, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

What happens if it’s left?
A floor coating laid over open joints soon cracks along the joint lines. Joints need their own treatment, whether or not the floor is coated. Around Ulting, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.

Looking after the joints
After handover, these steps help:
- Start with the dock areas, where joints fail soonest
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
- Let us know what the floor is cleaned with
- Walk the main routes and inspect joint lines on a regular cycle
A routine walk of the busiest aisles shows how the joints are holding up. Look for separation down one side, new chips in the arris and debris gathering and keep photographs so changes are easy to compare.
A broken joint on a main route is crossed by every truck on that route. Sorting it early looks after your equipment as well as the slab.
Questions about Ulting
Will our site in Ulting have to close for joint sealing?
Normally not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Is a smaller place like Ulting outside your area?
No. Places such as Ulting are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
How long before trucks can use the joints?
The wait is set by the product’s cure time, and cold floors slow it down. Phasing is planned with that in mind.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Can the warehouse stay open while you work?
Normally only the zone we’re working in has to close. Each zone reopens when the product can take traffic, then we move to the next.
Is it normal for joint filler to separate?
Young concrete carries on shrinking for a long time and a stiff filler can separate down one side. It is usually dealt with by topping up.
What sealant work can’t fix
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We’ll tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Structural cracking in the slab
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job
- Broken concrete either side of the joint
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

Ulting lies roughly 35 miles out from central London. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London. 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.
A healthcare site such as Priory Hospital, 5.3 miles west of Ulting, depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day. For floors and slabs around Ulting, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint.
