When to call us in Wokingham
Floor joints collect dust, oil, curing compound and cleaning residue. Without cutting back to sound, clean concrete the new filler can’t stay bonded.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor
- Loading bay joints breaking down
- Filler that has parted from one face
- Brittle joint filler breaking up
On industrial estates such as Station Industrial Estate (less than half a mile east of Wokingham), saw-cut floor joints, loading bay slabs and yard joints take the heaviest traffic.

How we handle floor joint sealing in Wokingham
Floor joint sealing for us covers warehouse aisles, loading bays, production halls, retail floors and showroom slabs. Each job is priced from the metres of joint, their condition and the access windows we get and the figure is fixed before work begins. If you are dealing with a rough ride across broken joints and joint fill separating from the concrete, we can put it right, on loading bays, joints along racking aisles and construction joints alike. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Wokingham is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
On busy estates around towns like Wokingham, joints are resealed in stages so units keep trading: one aisle, bay or level at a time.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.
After the work
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Expect fillers on young slabs to need a top-up
- Walk the main routes and inspect joint lines on a regular cycle
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
Dragged forks and pallets gouge joints and edges alike. Steel tines will mark a good joint over time if it keeps happening.
Joints are easiest to look after when someone checks them regularly. We can quote a programme that starts with the busiest areas and keeps on top of the rest.

What else we do in Wokingham
Owners, agents and contractors
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
On site: what to expect
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Jobs in a large place like Wokingham are often on business parks, retail sites or campuses with their own sign-in and permit rules. Tell us about inductions, permits and site hours so the plan fits.
- We look at joint widths, edge condition and the traffic on each route.
- 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 sucked out of the joint and a primer used if the product data sheet asks for one.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Advice
What affects the price in Wokingham
Before we quote, we look at:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Details that help us quote
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The type of building and who uses it
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Where the site is, with the postcode
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Why deal with it now?
Some runs only need partial renewal or topping up. If old material is sound on one face and only a fine gap has opened, it may not all have to come out and the quote shows which approach suits each run. On a busy site in a large place like Wokingham, a failed joint gets worse with every day of use. Catching it early keeps the fix simple.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.

Questions we are asked in Wokingham
Will our site in Wokingham have to close for joint sealing?
In most 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.
Does your area include sites such as Station Industrial Estate, near Wokingham?
Yes, sites like Station Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Wokingham. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Should floor joints be filled or sealed?
It depends on the traffic and the movement. Forklift routes generally call for a semi-rigid filler that holds the arrises, while joints that move more take a flexible sealant.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
When can forklifts run over new joint filler?
Each product has its own cure time and cooler floors take longer. We plan the phasing so that waiting time fits your operation.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
