Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Maintenance after handover
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
- Keep photos of joints that look like they’re failing
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
- Let us know what the floor is cleaned with
If a joint we filled starts to break up within 12 months, tell us and we’ll arrange a look. After that, a check before your busiest period keeps small repairs small.
Every vehicle on a busy aisle hits a damaged joint. Early treatment protects wheels, loads and drivers as much as the floor.

West Hyde: questions and answers
Do you cover business parks and estates near West Hyde, such as Woodcock Hill Industrial Estate?
Yes, sites like Woodcock Hill Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of West Hyde. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is West Hyde too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as 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.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Can the warehouse stay open while you work?
The work is phased. We work aisle by aisle or zone by zone so the rest of the floor stays in use. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
When to bring in a specialist
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Structural cracking in the slab
- Slab panels that rock or move under load
- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in West Hyde
A slab keeps shrinking for a long time after it is cast, and saw-cut joints give that shrinkage a planned place to crack. As the panels contract, the joints widen so a filler put in early may separate along one side.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints
- Unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit
- Untidy open joints in a retail unit
- Loading bay joints breaking down
If you manage units on an estate such as Woodcock Hill Industrial Estate (1.9 miles north-east of West Hyde), the floor joints under forklifts and pallet trucks and the slab joints in the yard are the ones to watch.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
What sets the cost
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- How accessible the joints are
- The size and state of each joint
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Whether the work must be split into stages
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
