Common questions from Wissington clients
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Severalls Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Must our site in Wissington stop work while the joints are done?
In the majority of cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
What happens if the joint edges are damaged?
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.
Do you guarantee industrial floor joints?
Every job has our 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later slab movement or damage from impacts.
Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Put loading bays at the top of the list
- Clear packed debris from open joints regularly
- Walk the main routes and inspect joint lines on a regular cycle
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
Young concrete carries on shrinking, so some fillers part slightly from one face. That is common and is typically dealt with by topping up once the slab has settled down in most cases.
Regular inspection catches failing fills before the edges go. A phased plan, worst routes first, spreads the work out and keeps on top of the rest.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Wissington?
Left open, joints fill with grit, wrap and wood fragments. Packed debris acts like a wedge every time a wheel crosses so the arrises break sooner.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Joint edges breaking up under truck wheels
- Filler that has parted from one face
- Cracked and crumbling joint fill
- A rough ride across broken joints
A healthcare site such as Severalls Hospital, 4 miles south-east of Wissington, depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.
What to look for in a quote
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid

Doing it in-house
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Our process
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Jobs in and around smaller places like Wissington are usually planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We agree the traffic routes and phasing with your site team.
- We point out joints whose edges need repairing first.
- We clear each run back to clean concrete.
- We fill the joints with the agreed product, finished level.
- You get a time for each zone to reopen.
Before we start on site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
