Floor joint sealing in Walter's Green, done properly
A working floor can rarely be closed for days on end, so the work is split into zones and treated one area at a time. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them, with goods still moving in the areas we aren’t in. Site teams most often ask us about a rough ride across broken joints and joint fill separating from the concrete, across joints along racking aisles, construction joints and retail and showroom floors. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Walter's Green, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Jobs around smaller places like Walter's Green are planned so the whole job is done in one visit. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we’ll take it from there.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Walter's Green as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Any access equipment needed
- The size and state of each joint
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.
What to include in your enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The product your specification calls for
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Owners, agents and contractors
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
Your questions answered
Would you work within a site like Kent and Sussex Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is a smaller place like Walter's Green outside your area?
No. Places such as Walter's Green are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
What information helps you price floor joint sealing?
Approximate metres of joint, photos of typical and worst areas, and a floor plan are normally enough for a quick quote. We can visit where that helps so call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to set one up.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. For a building around Walter's Green, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- We look at joint widths, edge condition and the traffic on each route.
- The quote fixes the price, names the filler or sealant and shows how the floor will be zoned.
- Each joint is cleared of old fill and dirt and taken back to clean, sound edges.
- Dust is sucked out of the joint and a primer used if the product data sheet asks for one.
- The chosen product is placed to its specified depth and trimmed level with the floor.
- We tell you when each zone can carry trucks again and move on to the next.
Preparing the site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Advice
General trades versus a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
What happens if it’s left?
Open joints are where dirt collects, out of reach of the floor cleaner. In shops, showrooms and clean production areas that matters for hygiene and appearance. Flush, filled joints leave nothing for cleaners to dig out. Halls, stores and units around places like Walter's Green may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Pricing floor joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you are working to. Call for a quote.

Looking after the joints
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
- Make joint checks part of your floor inspections
- Put loading bays at the top of the list
Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets along the floor. Even a well-filled joint can be damaged by steel scraping along it if it keeps happening.
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.
