Floor joint sealing in Westwood, done properly
Most industrial slabs are divided into panels with saw cuts and day joints, and every one of those joints is an exposed edge under hard wheels. Our job is to put the right filler or sealant into them for the loads and the movement they see so the edges are held up and debris can’t pack in. If you are dealing with grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor and joint fill separating from the concrete, we can put it right. Whoever orders the work in Westwood, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In a smaller place such as Westwood, floor and movement joints are often in agricultural and rural business units, schools and the odd small industrial yard. Their slabs and walls still need movement joints that work.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

FAQs: Westwood
Does the sea air around Westwood change the choice of sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Would you work within a site like Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can you fill joints where the arrises have spalled?
A filler needs sound edges to grip. We will tell you if the joint edges need repairing first and set out how that affects the job.
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.
What information helps you price floor joint sealing?
A rough joint length, a few photographs and a site plan are typically enough for a quick quote. For larger floors, a site visit is often best so call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to set one up.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
Will we need to close the floor?
The work is phased. Areas are taken out of use a section at a time around the site hours and access windows you give us.
Our process
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Several jobs near Westwood can be grouped on one trip. Tell us your site hours and we will plan around them.
- 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 extracted from the joint and primer applied where the manufacturer specifies it.
- Filler or sealant goes in to the right depth and is finished flush with the slab.
- We tell you when each zone can carry trucks again and move on to the next.
What we need from you
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
Request a quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Some runs only need partial renewal or topping up. Where existing filler is well bonded and the gap beside it is small, a full strip-out isn’t always needed and the quote shows which approach suits each run. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

Cost factors for floor joints
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Access and working height
- Working within restricted access windows
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
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 to include in your enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Any specification or named product
- The postcode of the building
- Any dates the work must fit around
To get a fixed quote, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form. Our quote form is another easy route.
When it isn’t the sealant
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds
- Broken concrete either side of the joint
- Level or flatness problems across the floor
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Where floor joints take the most wear near Westwood
Westwood lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, and edges left open tend to break up faster. Central London is about 65 miles from Westwood. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift.
For an occupier at a site such as Westwood Industrial Estate, less than half a mile to the east of Westwood, the joints at loading doors and dock levellers usually see the hardest wear. For a school such as St Gregory's Catholic Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays. Another example is Westwood Gateway Retail Park, less than half a mile to the south-east of Westwood, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers.

When to bring in a specialist
Redoing a failed joint usually 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.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
