Common questions from West Hanney clients
Can you work at a site such as Grovelands Shopping Centre, by West Hanney?
Yes. We cover West Hanney and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Grovelands Shopping Centre. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is West Hanney off your patch?
No. Places such as West Hanney 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.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Can you send site paperwork?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Is the floor joint work guaranteed?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and the work is covered by public liability insurance.
How we handle floor joint sealing in West Hanney
It isn’t only heavy industry. Retail units, showrooms and trade counters have slab joints crossed by trolleys, footfall and cleaning machines, where a gappy, dirty joint looks untidy and snags castors. A flush, well-finished joint tidies the whole floor. We work on construction joints, joints along racking aisles and retail and showroom floors, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are joint fill separating from the concrete and loading bay joints breaking down. Whoever orders the work in West Hanney, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Jobs around smaller places like West Hanney 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.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

What the job involves on each surface
Saw-cut induced joints
A sawn joint left open soon packs with debris and chips at the edges. Filled in good time, they stay narrow and neat.
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Main aisles and cross routes carry the most wheel movements, so their joints wear fastest. Semi-rigid fillers are widely used on these routes to hold the edges up.
When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Level or flatness problems across the floor
- Slab panels that rock or move under load
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Construction joints
- Joints along racking aisles
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Retail and showroom floors
- Loading bays
Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Tell us about strong cleaning chemicals before we quote
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
- Photograph any joint that starts to chip
Once cured, the joints get cleaned along with the slab. Tell us about aggressive cleaning products or hot washing at quote stage so we choose something that tolerates them.
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.

How a job runs
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work usually takes anything from a day for one loading bay to several days for a large floor, split into phases. For work around West Hanney, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We walk the floor and mark up joint widths, edge damage and traffic routes.
- The treatment and the zones are set out in a fixed quote.
- Old fill and packed debris come out until both faces are sound.
- Dust is vacuumed out and primer applied where specified.
- The joint is filled to its specified depth and trimmed level.
- We hand each phase back when it can take traffic.
Preparing the site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Advice
Slabs, ramps and loading bays in West Hanney
Less than 3 miles from West Hanney there are at least three named estates and business parks. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints. Rainfall across the South East, West Hanney included, is lower than in many 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.
Retail parks like Grovelands Shopping Centre, 2 miles south of West Hanney, have long runs of car park and yard joints taking daily traffic. Another example is Elms Farm Business Park, 2.4 miles to the south of West Hanney, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers.

Typical triggers for a call:
- Filler that has parted from one face
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
