Floor joint sealing for commercial buildings in Wash Common
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. Share your site hours and access windows and the programme is built around them, with goods still moving in the areas we aren’t in. We work on construction joints, saw-cut induced joints and forklift and pallet-truck routes, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are old filler gone hard, cracked or loose and chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Wash Common, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Around places the size of Wash Common, joints that need sealing tend to be in rural business units, farm buildings put to commercial use, schools and community buildings. Their slabs and walls still need movement joints that work.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

What else we do in Wash Common
Surface by surface
Saw-cut induced joints
Induced joints are sawn into a new slab to control where it cracks. They are narrow but open up as the panels shrink, and on truck routes they need a filler that supports the edges.
Construction joints
Construction joints, sometimes called day joints, mark where one pour ended and the next began. They often see more movement than sawn joints, and that shapes the product choice.

Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Clear packed debris from open joints regularly
- Walk the main routes and inspect joint lines on a regular cycle
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
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 photograph anything that changes.
Edges tend to break slowly at first, then quickly. Each chip makes the drop deeper and the next impact harder, so it pays to act at the first signs.
What affects the price in Wash Common
To price the job, we consider:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The product specified
- The total length or number of joints
- Travel to remote or island sites

Before you send an enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Your programme or deadline
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
To get a fixed quote, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the site address and an outline of the work. You can also send details through our quote form.
When to bring in a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Certain joints really need a specialist: 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.
Common questions from Wash Common clients
Is Wash Common too far out for you?
Not at all. Wash Common is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Wash Common, such as Newbury Retail Park?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Wash Common, Newbury Retail Park among them, are all within reach. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Do you repair broken joint edges?
Filling against broken edges doesn’t last. We’ll tell you if the joint edges need repairing first, so you can decide how to proceed.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
How long does a typical visit take?
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.
