How we handle floor joint sealing in Wendens Ambo
Before quoting, we look at what the floor is telling us: joint widths, whether the joints are still opening, what runs over them and how the edges have held up. From that we choose between a semi-rigid filler and a more flexible sealant and the answer can differ from one zone to the next. If you’re dealing with old filler gone hard, cracked or loose and sealant pulled out along a truck route, we can put it right. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Wendens Ambo it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Wendens Ambo have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Work for main contractors and building owners
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
What happens if it’s left?
Painting or coating straight over joints rarely lasts. The joints have to be filled or sealed as joints before or alongside any coating work. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Wendens Ambo, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Why appoint us
- Work to your specification and the manufacturer’s guidance
- Our applicators hold CSCS cards
- CHAS accredited
- Clear, fixed quotes

Surface by surface
Isolation joints at walls and columns
Where racking or plant sits near column joints, access is agreed before we start.
Construction joints
Some construction joints have steel edge protection, others are plain concrete. We will tell you if the edges or any armouring look like they need attention before filling.
Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Wendens Ambo
Wendens Ambo is about 37 miles from central London. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day. Wendens Ambo sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.
Schools such as Joyce Frankland Academy have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook. Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Shire Hill Industrial Estate (2.2 miles north-east of Wendens Ambo): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time. On a site such as Bearwalden Business Park, less than half a mile south-west of Wendens Ambo, the movement joints are in car park slabs, paving and building elevations.

General trades versus a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
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. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.

FAQs: Wendens Ambo
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Saffron Walden Community Hospital (no A&E)?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is Wendens Ambo too far out for you?
Not at all. Wendens Ambo is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Do you use semi-rigid filler or flexible sealant on floor joints?
The answer comes from the traffic and the joint’s movement. Trafficked joints on truck routes normally need a semi-rigid filler to support the edges and joints with more movement take a flexible sealant.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually takes anything from a day for one loading bay to several days for a large floor, split into phases. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
