About our floor joint sealing in Wix
Sometimes the concrete either side of a joint has already spalled. Filling against a crumbled arris won’t hold for long, so we will tell you if the joint edges need repairing first and explain how it affects the programme. Site teams most often ask us about filler that has parted from one face and soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints, across forklift and pallet-truck routes, joints along racking aisles and loading bays. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Wix it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Jobs around smaller places like Wix are planned so the whole job is done in one visit, with the right materials on hand. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we will take it from there.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Cost factors for floor joints
What shapes the price:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Working within restricted access windows
- Travel to remote or island sites

What we need to price the job
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Your programme or deadline
To get a fixed quote, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. You can also send details through our quote form.
Our process
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself normally taking between a day and a number of days, set by the joint lengths, the edge condition and the phasing you need. Jobs in and around smaller places like Wix are normally planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Each area is assessed for joint width, arris damage and the wheels that cross it.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and the phasing set out.
- We remove failed material and packed debris until sound concrete is exposed on both faces.
- 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.
- Each phase reopens when the product is ready for wheels, then we start the next.
Getting the site ready
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

What the job involves on each surface
Construction joints
Where a day joint crosses a truck route, its edges take heavy punishment. Movement and traffic are both checked before we decide what goes in.
Saw-cut induced joints
Sawn joints make up most of the joint length in a typical industrial floor. We clear them back to clean concrete and fill them to the depth the product calls for, finishing flush with the slab.

What we’re called out for in Wix
A slab keeps shrinking for a long time after it is cast, and the saw cuts are there so it cracks in straight, controlled lines. As the panels contract, the joints widen so a filler put in early may separate along one side.
Look out for the following:
- Loading bay joints breaking down
- Brittle joint filler breaking up
- Grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor
- Drivers complaining about joints on a route
Office parks like Oak Business Park (to the south-east of Wix) have decks, ramps and clad elevations whose joints take movement every day.

- Who will actually carry out the work
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
Joints that move: notes for Wix
Wix sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles. Open joints in coastal car parks and yards let in salt-laden water as well as grit, so it pays to keep them sealed. Wix 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 winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.
For a school such as Wix and Wrabness Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.

Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Hold traffic back until the product has cured
- Tell us about strong cleaning chemicals before we quote
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
- Photograph any joint that starts to chip
On younger slabs, a fine line can open down one side of a filled joint as the concrete keeps shrinking. That is common and is usually dealt with by topping up once the slab has settled down in the majority of cases.
Every day an open joint stays full of grit, the edges take more punishment. Filling it ends that cycle while it is still a straightforward job.
FAQs: Wix
Does your area include sites such as Oak Business Park, near Wix?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Wix, Oak Business Park among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can being near the sea in Wix affect the sealant we need?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Which is better for warehouse joints, filler or sealant?
We decide joint by joint. Hard wheels need edge support, which points to a semi-rigid filler, and movement joints or perimeters need something flexible. You will see the choice for each area in the quote.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
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 around the site hours and access windows you give us.
