The size and cost of floor joint repairs can be kept to a minimum if the damage is detected and repaired at an early stage. Regular inspections should be made to check that the existing joint sealant is doing its job to protect and maintain the joint arrisses.

Once the damage has been allowed to progress beyond the scope of re-sealing the joint, it will be necessary to re-construct the arrisses.

This should always be done with a top quality epoxy repair mortar that is specifically intended for industrial floor use. Cementitious materials are cheaper but they will ultimately fail and the initial saving made will be outweighed by the cost of re-repairing.

Wide joints increase the risk of arris spalling due to the deflection of the joint sealant under load. It is therefore important to reduce the width of the joint opening, at surface level. Our tried and tested joint arris repair detail allows a 50mm wide ‘traditional expansion joint' to be replaced with a neat 5mm wide, fully sealed saw cut. Each of our repairs is ground smooth and flush with the adjacent floor surface to ensure that wheeled traffic has a smooth transition over the repaired joint.

Our repair processes have been specifically developed for use in operational, fully stocked warehouses. We use highly efficient vacuum systems to ensure that there will be no airborne dust created, so there is no need to remove or protect your stock.
